TSN: Canucks Schedule Discussion

[Nuckles]

10am game on Saturday, Oct. 19 vs Pittsburgh. -____-

 

[Ziostilon]

they have what is called a secondary contract and CBC got first call

TSN has next rights for national games and then Sportsnet

its weird that CBC didn't take the opening game

 

[Solidius]

I think I'm gonna save up money to go to the BC Place game.

Eddie Lack is gettin' that start, remember what happened the last time we played a morning game in Pitt?

Cooke and Hansen Fighting?

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Well, suppose we get a chance to start the season by proving who's better between us and San Jose.

Obligatory

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I also just realized. October, Luongo....

This might be a long month.

Seriously, between October and November we play three games at home and eleven away. What the hell?

Yeah, that time around though I believe we had a game in New York on Wed., Minnesota on Fri, then Pittsburgh on Sat. Gillis then promptly complained about that schedule like any good GM would do. That was ridiculous.

Might have had more to do with AV not getting the actual starting roster players together and ready until the final pre-season game rather than Luongo letting a few softies in. October was his best month in FLA.

Could be the organization's request. There's still heavy construction going on around the stadium.

Long Weekend in California, nice!

Thursday November 7 San Jose
Saturday November 9 Los Angeles
Sunday November 10 Anaheim
Monday is Remembrance Day

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Season opener against the Sharks this should be interesting lets kick some ***.

 

[tantalum]

15 games in October and two back to backs. 7 game road trip early on. It's going to be a tough haul.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I am not concerned I think Luongo will play just fine. I hope the team comes out strong so Luongo does not get worn out for the playoffs.

Sedin-Sedin-Kassian
Booth-Kesler-Burrows
Higgins-Guance-Hansen
Sestito-Richardson-Santorelli

Hamhuis-Garrison
Edler-Corrado
Bieksa-Tanev

Luongo
Ericksson

I think Ericksson will be playing the starting of the season due to Lack's hip injury but you never know these two will battle it out in the pre-season. I think we should let Horvat and Shinkaruk improve in the minors because they still have work to do like skating. In 2015 or 2016 they should start running the 3rd line. For defense it is kind of a mix it up until something works.

what was he trying to do? hahahahah sneaky hansen forgets that theres like 50 cameras on him

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

My special days:

Oct 3rd Thurs: Rematch against the Sharks

Oct 5th Sat: Lets trash some Oil

Oct 8th Tues: Match up against Schneider and the Devils

Nov 23rd Sat: Against the SCC Chicago Blackhawks

Dec 13th Sat: Lets kill the Bruins!!!

Feb 4th Tues: In Boston lets kill em again!!

Those are the days that will appeal to me mostly the Boston games and Chicago I think we can take them.


OH YA I ALMOST FORGOT THE HERITAGE CLASSIC WILL BE FUN TO WATCH.

 

[NoShowWilly]

team gets a week off for christmas

 

[94eleven]

dammit only come to Colorado once...may have to head to Cali or Phoenix to see them.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I certainly hope so. Given the circumstances, Lu needs a solid start to the year to dispel most of the naysayers.

Could be the organization's request. There's still heavy construction going on around the stadium.

Ah. Wasn't aware of the construction. That would explain the large number of away games we're playing up front.

 

[idiroft]

Hey guys! Any word on the pre-season schedule?

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Hey guys! Any word on the pre-season schedule?

I am gonna look into it I might go to one my self.

EDIT: Doesn't appear to be anything on NHL.com it should be up today.

Tough starts are okay. Helps with team building. I like the long road trips at the start of the season. If they can be at 500 at the end of November, they can start getting more points after a tough start. Not expecting the Canucks to be front runners, but they could lap a few teams as the season progresses. The bonus is that the Canucks get a ton of home games right at the end of the season. That should allow them more rest and practise time to get ready for the post season.

 

[DunCanuck]

I'll be attempting to score tickets for:

Jan.7th vs. Penguins- One day before my birthday, I figure I'll gift it to myself

Mar.2 vs. Senators @ BC Place- Should be a memorable game and a reward for completing my 3rd year of university!

 

[Win One Before I Die]

We are going to get shutout by Schneider 1 week into the season!

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Not if Burrows Kesler and Booth get in his face. They go to the net and Booth will power move.
