Here's an in depth look at the Penguins' January schedule:
Jan. 1 - At Bruins: Because you'll be too hung over from the night before to play the Brent Musburger Drinking Game while watching USC slaughter some Big Ten team in the Rose Bowl.
Jan. 3 - Panthers: Because noted Penguins-killer Olli Jokinen has been replaced by noted Penguins-killer Cory Stillman.

Jan. 5 - At Rangers: Because a game on Monday night with a 7 p.m. starting time means it might be on Versus and we might get to see the lovely and talented Chris Simpson.
Jan. 6 - Thrashers: Because you might get a chance to see "The Moose" start.

Jan. 8 - At Predators: Because despite their financial and attendance woes, the Predators are one of the most entertaining teams in the league.
Jan. 10 - At Avalanche: Because this might be your last chance to see Joe Sakic (
assuming he comes back at all for next season.)
Jan. 13 - At Flyers: Because Ryan Whitney probably wants another shot at Jeff Carter.
Jan. 14 - Capitals: Because we can hope Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin will offer another dazzling show.
Jan. 16 - Ducks: Because Ducks goon George Parros is from Washington, Pa.
Jan. 18 - Rangers: Because Paul Mara wants his revenge on Evgeni Malkin.
Jan. 20 - Hurricanes: Because you just know Josef Melichar will record a hat trick.
Jan. 28 - Rangers: Because Miroslav Satan has scored 28 career goals against the Rangers, the most against any team. Only the Capitals (28) have given up as many goals to Satan.
Jan. 30 - At Devils: Because perhaps we can see Brian Gionta do this again:
Jan. 31 - At Maple Leafs: Because Jordan Staal had arguably his finest moment as a NHL player at the Air Canada Center.
Tomorrow: "Why you'll watch - February."
