[QUOTE="SnakePlissken, post: 1589069, member: 746392"] I don't know how much weight I would put into the schedule. We do have 4 wins against Detroit, so we're just 5-5-4 against everyone else. Then again, Detroit is a not-horrendous 4-7-3 against everyone other than the Hawks. You just play the games as they come. Hard to say if starting with Detroit would have been better, but the overall record is great at this point so I'm not complaining. Certainly some of this is smoke and mirrors in the form of excellent special teams and goaltending, but at least we aren't getting creamed every night, which was the fear (at least mine) coming into this season. And back to the schedule, most people would assume Dallas will eventually finish above the Hawks, but Dallas is going to have a killer schedule after these latest postponements. I think the volume of games is going to be difficult for them, regardless of how many are against Detroit. I'm not saying the Hawks will be a playoff team, but lots of things have happened in the last 12 months that surprised me... [/QUOTE]
