Panthers Schedule is OUT!!!!

http://panthers.nhl.com/team/app?page=TeamSchedule&service=page

We do have a ruff start to the season, (open against the Rangers then the Devils) but I believe this puts pressure on the team to compete from the first puck drop. The Road looks better this year, with only 1 four game road trip, and 1 five game road trip. Also note worthy we finish the season with our last 3 games on the road.

On the Divisional games side we get a lot of consecutive action this season (9 final games against the division.) In November we also play 9 divisional games, better not have that November slump again!!!

Overall I like the schedule at first glance and like how we are heavy against the division at the end of the season when the Panthers like to play their best. Here is to a good season, and tracking down some road games to attend (Sad no games in Colorado or LA this year).

Another worthy note is that at the end of February and until the end of March the Panthers play 11 of 14 games at home, including a 7 game home stand in March. Looks like a good ending 1-2 months.

So it seems to be the trend around the NHL this year to have at least 8 divisional games to finish off the season and in the SE division, another stint of 8-10 divisional games in November. The tone will be set early with November, but it's going to be a thrilling watch for the division title with so many of those late season rivalry matches. I can't wait for April 8th, the day the Panthers begins their second season!
