NHL Schedules are out.

The NHL released their schedules. Michael Russo has the Wild Schedule up on his blog. I am very happy to see that the Bruins open up the season against the Wild, the Bruins also travel to the T.D. North Garden on January 6th 2009. Looking at the schedule in October the Wild play 8 games and four of them are against eastern division foes.

Waiting for Sundin I mean Waiting for Stanley breaks down the new schedule.

-Each team will play every team in it's division 6 times (instead of 8 times).
-Each team will play teams from other divisions within their conference 4 times each.
-Each team will play non-Conference teams 18 times.
