ricky0034 89 Report post Posted November 29, 2010 yeah took a look and it didn't look too bad but broke down the games by dates and that makes it look brutal 2 days off Anaheim road back to back game Los Angeles road one day off San Jose home one day off Nashville home one day off Montreal home back to back game New Jersey road one day off Los Angeles home one day off St. Louis home one day off Chicago home one day off Dallas home 2 days off Vancouver home back to back game St. Louis road 2 days off Minnesota road back to back game Colorado road one day off Dallas road one day off NY Islanders home 16 games in December,4 of them are the day after the previous game and 9 are one day off between the previous game and them,the other 3 are two days off between the previous game and them 9 of the 16 are home games at least a bunch of them look like they should be easy wins but yeah the pace should slip a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted November 29, 2010 That's a pretty tight conference. Lose a few games in a row, and you wind up in the middle of the pack somewhere in a week. Gotta keep winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted November 29, 2010 1.5 v. 1.2 = massive? I think he looks at it as if we maintain that we will be in for a 120+ pt season other teams around 100+ points. The way I look at it is we are still only 6pts away from being 13th... still to close to the rest of the pack. I'm sure that's how Babs looks at it as well. 2 russianswede919293 and IILeiBlazeII reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted November 29, 2010 Not to me. I know it was a different era but to me a massive lead was in 2002 when they clinched the Presidents Trophy with like a month and a half or something like that left to go in the regular season. The lead is ok for now but like dragonball said; they're 6 or 7 points out of a playoff spot. Not much of a comfort zone to me. Overall, maybe that's good for the Wings at this point because we all hate to see them play too comfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted November 29, 2010 why shoot so low? the wings are the best team in the nhl, period This I know. But once the easy schedule the Wings have had catches up to them and they start playing a lot of their road games they haven't played yet, it's going to catch up to them. We've played the fewest amount of games on the road of any team. We are a great team, but it's no coincidence our record is so good and we have played well over the majority of our games at home. I'm not complaining, but it's reality. And finishing top 3 isn't shooting low, it means we won the most competitive division in the NHL were it looks like at least 4 out of the 5 teams will make the playoffs.

Overall, maybe that's good for the Wings at this point because we all hate to see them play too comfortable. LOL I remember that. Teams were getting pissed because we did not dress some of the older players/regulars down the stretch. They thought we did it on purpose to mess with the standings.

Agreed 100%. I think we are the best team in the league, but you just have to look at all the facts when looking at our current record. But then again, we've only played one game against the East, so we are guaranteed a couple freebie points from them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shady Ultima 40 Report post Posted November 29, 2010 But then again, we've only played one game against the East, so we are guaranteed a couple freebie points from them I have a feeling that when we're going to lose against New Jersey. We've never been good on back to back games, and we have to go from Detroit(vs Montreal) to New Jersey. Not a good sign for us at all. And St. Louis will be tough after facing Vancouver in Detroit the night before. And if any are Saturday night games and Sunday afternoon games, you can ALMOST consider that Sunday game a loss, because of travel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never thought it'd be said, but we really need Ozzy back. Can't play Howard for all those games in a row. He'll be too tired come the post-season, and I don't like the look of a GR goaltender in net.
