The Central division is exhibit A for why the NHL schedule sucks. Nashville and Detroit get to pad their point totals with the 24 games they have against the other three crappy teams.
I'm not exactly complaining, but I do agree. Detroit shouldn't even be in the West in the first place. It makes no sense for an eastern based team to be in a such a conference.
I will also agree with this. Without these two, Detroit would be royally fucked. Last night alone they had 8 points between them.
