Blame the Oilers.

Okay, I'll blame the Oilers.


Hey, I feel better already!

I'm a broke UBC student living on campus this year so I opted out of buying cable since I don't watch any television outside of the Canucks and some other sports. Anybody know where I can find Canucks streams consistently for games? Does Sportsnet stream them on their site?

Gamecenter is on trial til December I think...either that or just go to a bar and order a water.

Glad to see there are much fewer back to back games in California.

WTF. Why are our Saturday games so crappy? No montreaL??/

Sat.Oct.11.2014 - Edmonton
Sat.Oct.18.2014 - Tampa Bay
Sat.Dec.13.2014 - NY Rangers
Sat.Dec.20.2014 - Calgary
Sat.Jan.03.2015 - Detroit
Sat.Jan.10.2015 - Calgary
Sat.Feb.07.2015 - Pittsburgh
Sat.Mar.15.2015 - Toronto
Sat.Mar.28.2015 - Dallas
Sat.Apr.11.2015 - Edmonton

Tampa Bay? Dallas? NY Rangers? Why put us in Saturday games against non-rival eastern teams... games which have little to no passion or appeal. Shoulda been Montreal, Boston and Chicago or LA. What a joke.

What's next, are they gonna take away our one Toronto game on Saturday? Bad enough they put it on at 4pm our time.

Welcome to the EHL folks (Eastern Hockey League).

You missed:
Sat.Nov 8th - LA Kings
Sat.Dec 6th - Toronto
Sat.Feb 14th - Calgary
Sat.Mar 7th - San Jose
Sat.Mar 21st - LA Kings
Sat.Apr 4th - Winnipeg

I don't know if you did it on purpose... when you look at it in its totality, the our Saturday night lineup is packed nicely with rivalry...

3x - Calgary
2x - Toronto, LA, Edm
Premium appeal games : SJ, Pit, Det, NYR. (rival, Crosby, O6, O6)
Then Wpg
That is solid and I just don't see this EHL thing you are freakin out about.

Dallas and TB may be lowest in terms of general fan interest...
but TB may be coming in as the best offensive team in the league showcasing Stamkos..
And Dallas game is timed nicely on Mar 28th as a potential playoff positioning game.. and they'll be boasting a potential top 5 NHL scorer and their new acquisitions. And our games vs them have been chippy as hell the last 2 seasons. Its a brewing rivalry. Willie and the owner storylines add some minor spice to it.

Overall, in terms out right outliers... i see only the TB game as being an odd looking Saturday night matchup... But even that will be a fun game to watch considering the personnel.

For me as a fan... the game of least interest is the Wpg game... by far.

I think you're over reacting.

I don't see a rivalry with Edmonton, Toronto or Calgary, though Edmonton may be a fun game to watch. Calgary not so much. Leafs, no thanks, especially with the early home start time. LA is not a very exciting regular season team either.

Would rather skip a couple of those for Boston, Chicago or Anahiem .
