Kevin Biestra Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Well, if there was ever a time to have the schedule work against you in this manner, it's at the nadir of a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think because of the draft taking place in Vancouver this year, our draft luck, and Hughes projected to go first overall played a part in our scheduling. They wanted us to fall in a hole early to make sure we’re sellers at the deadline. Only to draft Jack Hughes 1rst overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Aside from the concerts listed, it's possible that Rogers Arena has private events that aren't disclosed or they have set maintenance days. Also need to consider other team's home rink as well based on the events there to see which is more viable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks only have 3 games where they play a team doing a back-to-back while rested. Edmonton at the other extreme plays 18 times a tired team after being rested and 8 times a rested team while tired. Wow is that ever some bullsh*t.

coolboarder Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I feel that the Canucks should do the training camp in Utica with preseason home games at Utica at some point in the future and request the league to start the season with 7-8 games on the road with games starting in Washington and work their way to home with stops at Philadelphia, NJ, NYR, NYI, Boston, Montreal, and Ottawa. This is not a tough travel as all of the players would be getting used to eastern time zone for a month and half. Next trip: start in Toronto, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Detroit. Finally, the road trip starts in Nashville, Carolina, Florida, Tampa, and Dallas. All of the trip is in order, not zig zag. If you notice all of those destination routes, it's not out of the way trips. I have calculated a few years ago that the Canucks could reach at 39,000 miles, even without Seattle being a factor. This only works if the Canucks is hosting the training camp in Utica. A couple of seasons ago, they went 43,500 miles and that was their lowest point of travelling in their history. This is very important because the cities I laid above is not on the plane for more than an hour at the most except for southeast part of the USA. Best part of the plan I laid out here is that Canucks would be having more practice days early in the season than an extra day without a practice because they are travelling, costintg them a few days of practice.

timberz21 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The bottom line is, our schedule is never going to be easy...due to geographical reason and not because of a conspiracy theory from the NHL against the Canucks. Teams have input on their schedule, and I remember a few years back the Canucks were askingfor longer road trips to limit travel time and cost and have longer home-stand.

GB5 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The early season 6 game road trip may end up helping this team bond well as a group. They can work out the kinks away from the boos and negativity of home ice and come home stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAN gets the royal shaft in this dept. whereas EDM is served up a silver platter. I hate you NHL remember the good old days when (2011-12) Van feasted on teams play their 3rd in four nights. I went to a couple of those games and they were really boring as good teams can still compete but they play rope-a-dope. I have felt for a long time that the NHL uses the schedule to create parity.

CanuckleHorse Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Players who are determined to play 82 is not what we need it’s about staying healthy it’s better to concede a game than to burn out our guys giving our stars a game off should not be as big a deal they need it more than the lesser travel teams.
