New Year's Eve in Dallas...
hmmmmm
They also only play 10 games in the entire month of October, with multiple three-day breaks, but have 8 games in 16 days in January, plus 9 in 17 in April.6 games in February and 16 games in March
They are having that tournament in Feb instead of the All Star Game.6 games in February and 16 games in March
Great job by the NHL to not fill the void left by the NFL in February but go heavy against March Madness
Are they doing that World Cup of Hockey thing in February?6 games in February and 16 games in March
Cool league where they make divisions matter more than ever before for playoff seeding purposes and you only play division rivals once more than every team in the other conferenceNice, first leafs game at 5:00 as second half of back to back, while also overlapping with the 4:30 bills game!
Been trying to get to Detroit for a game since Little Caesar's opened. That Saturday November 2nd game there is my road game target this year.
Are lower bowl seats worth it at LCA or is it a steep old-school "no bad seats" building?Awesome arena. Our favorite in the NHL. Still miss the Joe though.
Make sure to get Buddy's pizza while you're there - classic Detroit style - and also see about also getting in an NTDP game. Plymouth is only about 30 minutes from downtown Detroit though I would NOT recommend staying in the city of Detroit.

I stay in the city of Detroit a lot, but I'm a rustbelt nerd. Dan Gilbert's Bedrock and a few others have improved downtown dramatically in the past decade. Ford's recent flip of Michigan Central Station is an amazing upset victory for historic preservation. Eastern Market is really nice. Buffalo, including the arena district, could learn a lot from Detroit's success.
I remember playing tournaments out at Compuware as a kid, would be cool to check it out again. But knowing me I'll probably end up at a techno show or walking around an abandoned building.
How about coming down to UBS Arena on December 23rd:Been trying to get to Detroit for a game since Little Caesar's opened. That Saturday November 2nd game there is my road game target this year.
A game on the most sacred of days
