It's a conspiracy. The NHL is spliting the team up in two, knowing full well AV can't be in two places at the same time. That way the refs can get one-on-one time with players to arrange the SCF fix without AV knowing who they talked to. If you want to know who is going to throw the next SCF game 7, pay close attention to which game AV will coach and then make a point to go to the other one. Whoever the refs take turns skating around the rink with in the pre-game, that's the pidgeon!

I approve of this thread.

But to answer the OP's question: what they do is take half the players from each team and make a split squad. In the preseason you have enough players to do this because their have been no cuts yet. I would think most of the Canucks better players would play at home, save for a few guys who would play on the road. Calgary would do the same. You want to play your better players in front of your home town fans.
