I really didn't like this year's schedule, honestly. I mean, it's one thing in a close division like the Atlantic, having the Rangers, Devils and Flyers playing each other every couple weeks, but in divisions like Detroit's, it's not as much fun to watch. I also didn't like that their weren't a whole lot of east-west games this year. Sure, it cuts down on travel time and that, but I would have liked to have seen Ottawa play Dallas, or the Flyers play Detroit more often.
