DonaldBrashear Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Just a quick glance at our schedule, but wtf? I thought Calgary was supposed to visit Rogers Arena 3 times this year? Last year they only came to Rogers Arena 2x, and we played at the Saddledome 3x. This year it's the same thing... they come to Rogers Arena 2x, and we play at Saddledome 3x. Isn't it supposed to alternate? Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. I guess they only came to Rogers 2x last year, and we went there 2x. It was the non-5 game division opponent. Confusing. We need 2 more teams in the western conference. Seattle and Las Vegas hurry up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Play the Sharks five times from Feb 28-Mar 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBrashear Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Play the Sharks five times from Feb 28-Mar 31 Good lord. That's hilarious. Well, if my predictions are correct, then San Jose will plunge to the bottom of the standings this year and finish around dead last (sort of like the once mighty Carolina). If that's the case then maybe we can get 5 easy wins out of them if they are pushing for that #1 draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looks like the Canucks will not have the benefit of having the easiest schedule in the NHL this coming season. They face only a few tired teams who played the night before and instead look to face a few more well-rested teams while being tired themselves. They have a 7-game, 11 day road trip in November. A 6-game, 9 day road trip in December. Another one in January. And cram 21 games into March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 How can they have a schedule when they don't know what's happening with Arizona? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahf149 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 This is by far a horrible schedule for the Canucks. I am disappointed that there is no road trip for California. I was looking forward to seeing Phoenix this year...as my dad just moved there this summer. Holy Hanna long road trips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey, this is not that bad schedule, only 10 set of back to back games this year, their lowest b2b in years? 4 back to back set before the end of the year and 6 back to back after the New Year's. With only 1 set of home back to back games, therefore 9 back to back games will involve with at least one road game. The season-long road games, 7 gamer does not have any b2b games. Also the best part of the pre-Christmas schedule is that they go on the road for 6 games then 3 days off with no practice at all, the league-imposed days off. They should recover and maybe no first-game back effect because other teams will have to travel on the same day before the game and has no practice at all as well. So no advantage to other teams. 6 games road trip before the All-star break with just one home game, probably a loss but gives them a week off to recover then after that, no more east coast road trip after the January road trip. I'd take this type of schedule considering that they are the westernmost team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanBeef Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Kinda want Bieksa on the team if they're playing Calgary in the first game. Gonna be interesting as he's always one of the first to seek vengeance and leads by example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wooster Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Terrible schedule. Doesn't take into account any of the trips that I have planned. You would think that they would consult me and align the schedule to match my plans. Oh well, Florida in December does look appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zfetch Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Our last 7 games are all against the Pacific. That'll probably be the deciding factor on who makes the playoffs out of the Pacific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
