9:30 AM start in Pittsburgh on January 23rd seems a bit extreme, no?

We also get robbed regarding Pittsburgh and their stupid matinee games.

Definitely going to the game on Oct. 18 to see McJesus.

Hopefully Cassels is with the team on a 10 game stint so he can shutdown McJesus and Draisaitl again.

That would be wet.

 

[Interior Cascadian]

As I'm going through the schedule to add to my calendar, I see the Canucks also play the Sharks three times the week of February 28th.

2/28 - Home
3/3 - Home
3/5 - Away

Playoffs in March!!

9 game stint doesn't matter, he'll turn pro next year and will likely be in the AHL which will eat up a full year of his ELC regardless.

9 game stint for Virtanen. Virtanen obliterates McDavid causing the entire city of Edmonton to rage above Kassian levels.

How so?

 

[Samzilla]

How so?

cause we suck at matinee games. the league is obviously unhappy we beat pittsburgh twice last year

 

[NucksRuleYep]

Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, December 26th.

That's going to be a hard game to get... better buy that one early!

I noticed there are a lot less Tuesday and Thursday home games than last season. That's good, because I work on those nights. After looking through both schedules, I found 10 this year, and 18 last year. Seemed like I was missing more games than normal last season.

Yeah it's a little more balanced this year. I counted all the games (home/away) and here is how it looks:

This year:

(12) Monday
(12) Tuesday
(10) Wednesday
(14) Thursday
(10) Friday
(15) Saturday
(9) Sunday

Last year:

(7) Monday
(18) Tuesday
(4) Wednesday
(17) Thursday
(8) Friday
(17) Saturday
(11) Sunday

I don't know about you guys but we should have hired Marc Crawford

 

[NoShowWilly]

November is going to wreck this team. Took the team nearly two months to come out of the lull they went into last year when they did this trip. It is even worse this year.

 

[Jabba The Hutton]

Bumping in order to ask a schedule/tickets question:

Does anyone know how the home games this year are allocated as regular/premium/premium+?

play like a baddy for austin matty

Looking at that schedule I'd say its pretty possible for us to go 0-5 to start the year

Doesn't usually come out for a bit. Canucks need to figure it out first. You can pretty much tell which games will be premium and premium+ though. I am sure they will do the same as last year and have 8 premium+ games and 9 premium games. That way they can have 2 of each per 11 game ice pak (and the 9th premium game is excluded from any of the packs and sold to the public).

I'm assuming premium+ would be:
Leafs
Blackhawks Sat
Red Wings
Lightning
Bruins
Home opener and closer (Flames/Oilers)
Predators/Blues

And premium would be:
Other weekend Flames/Oilers
Blackhawks Sun
Senators Thu
Canadiens Tue
Islanders Tue
Capitals Thu
Penguins Wed
Flyers Mon
Rangers Wed

??? Not sure if it's more weighted towards team or playing day

I'd guess (and I am probably correct) that these will be the primary 16 premium games (ones that come with ice packs). I can't see it being any other way. The only one that might not be is Anaheim on January 1. It could be replaced with one of the 4 at the bottom. But since it's Anaheim on New Years Day I would think it would be. The + versus non-+ is just a guess though. But I'd be surprised if these aren't the 16 for sure. Their goal is to sell ice packs and packages ultimately and so if they make sure each pack includes at least a couple of desirable games they will sell better. This is a good year since Edmonton visits 3 times (McDavid) and Chicago visits 2 times (Stanley cup champs). Next year, Edmonton will only visit 2 times and Chicago will only visit 1 time.

PREMIUM+
SAT.OCT.10 - Calgary
TUE.OCT.27 - Montreal
WED.NOV.04 - Pittsburgh
SAT.NOV.21 - Chicago
SAT.DEC.26 - Edmonton
SAT.FEB.06 - Calgary
SAT.FEB.13 - Toronto
SAT.APR.09 - Edmonton

PREMIUM
SUN.OCT.18 - Edmonton
SAT.OCT.24 - Detroit
SAT.DEC.05 - Boston
MON.DEC.28 - Los Angeles
FRI.JAN.01 - Anaheim
SAT.JAN.09 - Tampa Bay
SAT.MAR.12 - Nashville
SUN.MAR.27 - Chicago

If they make a 17th premium game then it could be any of these 4. It just depends what they want.

THU.OCT.22 - Washington
WED.DEC.09 - NY Rangers
MON.MAR.14 - Winnipeg
MON.APR.04 - Los Angeles

First 10 games are tough. Complete opposite to last year's schedule.

If we can get off to a 5-5 start, it should probably be considered a success.

Excellent, thanks for your predictions. I do a season ticket "draft" with 3 other friends and I have 1st pick. I'm deciding between Toronto and one of the Calgary games with first pick and hoping to get a Edmonton one with 8th/9th pick.

I'm in for the tank. it's what we need!!! I think were on track to get demolished in this schedule!
