Minnesota Wild 2011-12 Regular Season Schedule Released

by BReynolds on Jun 23, 2011 1:20 PM CDT in News

The NHL has officially released the regular season schedule, which can be found HERE. While it is nice to have the schedule, and know that the sun will, indeed, rise tomorrow, the season is still almost four months away, and that is painful.

Interesting games that jump out at me are the Blue Jackets, with new assistant coach Todd Richards, are in town to open the season at the X. Six home games in October, including one against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Canucks get to host the Wild before they come to Saint Paul, with the first Nucks game here happening on November 3rd.

More after the jump.

Other games of note:

Nov 28, Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning

December 13, Wild play for the first time in Winnipeg. (Road trip anyone?)

February 16, the Winnipeg Somethingorothers will be here at the X, in case you really wanted to see the Wild play the Thrashers, but missed it for the past few years.

Feb 19, the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins will be in town.

Ten of the last fourteen games are at home.

The Wild play 15 games in March, nine of which are at home.

The schedule is release, Wilderness. Anything strike you as important? Which games will you be going to?

March

I am surprised with all the homegames in March. With the State Tourney’s for Hockey and Wrestling they usually play a heck of a road schedule that month.

Indeed. I enjoyed that as well. Time for the Wild to own their own building, I guess.

Who ever creates the Schedule needs to be fired.

Why is it that every season, we finish playing a team in the first month of the season?

March is home heavy, January is Road heavy. BALANCE the schedule! its not all that difficult.

I love when we end the season at home.

It’s a little tradition of mine to go to that game :)

Really want to make it to the home games against the Pens, Bolts, Hawks, and all the home games against the Nucks. Those are the only games that stick out at the moment. I’m sure more will be intriguing once it goes closer to the season or when the season actually starts.
