2014-2015 schedule discussion

[stuffradio]

I thought I'd make this thread for us to talk about the games we're excited for or anything to do with next years schedule. Teams today and the past few days have been releasing their pre-season schedule, but nothing has been done for the Canucks yet. The full schedule is supposed to be out tomorrow afternoon.

Now we get to start our 1st line on October 8 while the Flames start their 4th and they will beat-up the Sedins!

 

[NoShowWilly]

the Dumpster series.

Screw that!
The Sedins will beat them up!!!!

 

[NucksRuleYep]

Most desirable and expensive games will be Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston and Los Angeles (probably in that order).

Least desirable games will probably be Buffalo, Florida, NY Islanders, Carolina, Arizona and Nashville (probably again in that order).

I personally am looking forward to our series against Colorado. To me, that was one of our greatest rivalries ever. In the Naslund years I remember having an insane pacific division rivalry with them. Patrick Roy has created a fierce team. Hopefully we can piss them off and create another rivalry. Except, this time, no bertuzzi-moore incident please.

Hooray for the boring same ol same ol! I'm so tired of playing those teams.

 

[DCantheDDad]

Im hoping for lots of Wednesday Friday Saturday and Sunday games. I have to give up GameCenter this year. Hopefully there are lots of nationally televised games.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Hooray for the boring same ol same ol! I'm so tired of playing those teams.

It's the same deal with the Habs. Another Habs/Leafs opener. I mean, it was cool eight years ago, but we get it. Let's open against Dallas, San Jose, Chicago or LA.

 

[OzFlyers]

A nice soft opening to the season..... hopefully!

 

[Hoggy]

Lots of games at home in January please.

And another year where we start play on October 8 and the season tediously goes into mid June.

Why October 1 isn't the season opener every year is beyond me.

It's up on Canucks.com now

[Antidote]

Does anyone have the inside scoop on the Penticton YoungStars tournament? The teams/dates/times were out in early June last year but nada so far this year.

Canucks 2014-15 Schedule

Well, here 'tis guys.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/schedulebyseason.htm?team=van

Highlights include:

Jan 8 vs. Florida
Nov 6, 8, 9 @ SJ, ANA, LA
7-game Eastern road swing from Nov. 28 - Dec. 9
Longest home stand is a 6 gamer from Jan 27 - Feb. 7

Our first 3 games are against the Alberta teams, and interestingly enough, we have a 6-day break between games 2 and 3, meaning we will only play 3 times in the first 11 days of the season.

 

[LiquidSnake]

16 Saturday games.

Doubtful they'll all be national.

 

[Rex Banner]

I'm predicting at least 3 game misconducts for Kassian in the California trip.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Important dates for Canucks:

Oct 6th - Season opener vs CGY
Oct 8th - Home opener vs EDM
Jan 8th - Luongo returns to VAN
Feb 13th - Big Bad B's come to town
Feb 7th - Crosby comes to town

Let's go!

 

[metric]

As long as I didn't miss any, the only two that aren't national are the Kings on March 21 and Jets on April 4. The rest are on CBC or HNIC.

 

[Intangibos]

Important dates for Canucks:

Oct 6th - Season opener vs CGY
Oct 8th - Home opener vs EDM
Jan 8th - Luongo returns to VAN
Feb 13th - Big Bad B's come to town
Feb 7th - Crosby comes to town

Let's go!

It annoys me that you put Feb 13 before Feb 7

any notable games i can think of
Florida @ VAN on Jan 19...return of Luo?

 

[Imuzi]

Leafs in town right around my birthday. I know what I'll be doing...

Also can't believe that it took them almost 8 seasons to make it so every team plays each other home and away.
