Who knows what's going on with this game. Not even sure if they've traveled yet.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

At this rate they'll be in Buffalo for the next week lol.

 

[BWJM]

Bruh 10am pacific time?

10 am starts for Western teams shouldn't exist. They really couldn't have slotted it for a different time?

 

[Deeds26]

Could be us leaving Buffalo or San Jose trying to get into Buffalo.

San Jose vs Buffalo are on at 9am PST tomorrow.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Given that the Canucks day off is going to be spent travelling all day, and throw in the ridiculous start time of the next game...I'd keep my expectations fairly low.

I wouldnt be surprised if this game gets postponed.

Hopefully gets moved to minimum 4pm PT start. That would be great, I already have to stealth-watch the Bills/Steelers game midafternoon tomorrow.

Delayed is likely. Canucks final trip east is compacted. Outside of rhe nhl allowing the game to be made up either just before the ASG it would suck to make it up at the end of the season and travel to cbs.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Plz be pushed back to a normal start time.

 

[wonton15]

I’d expect this to get pushed 2-3 hours.

For selfish reasons I hope they keep the gametime.. that Canucks then two NFL playoff games Monday is looking pretty great

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

I would like to see Garland and Mikheyev switched. I wonder if Garland could drive more offense with a better finisher on his line, Joshua seems to whiff a lot of the chances he creates.

I don't even disagree with your premise but doing this move right now would be insane

I’d say that it’s probably best to leave Garlands line as is since it’s working so well and hope Suter and the two Russians can get something going.

Day games for Canadian teams on US holidays shouldn't exist, either.

[ziploc]

This travel situation at the end of a long road swing puts the Canucks at a significant disadvantage. Hopefully the game is delayed a bit to compensate, but I trust the NHL to move it up to an 8am PST start.

 

[canuckking1]

I’m hoping the game time gets moved back. Sounds like Canucks are in Toronto and won’t fly out until tonight

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Day games for Canadian teams on US holidays shouldn't exist, either.

The NHL fears going against the NFL. This is why we have this bullshit.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

The NHL fears going against the NFL. This is why we have this bullshit.

They should fear the fact that the Canucks ratings will be shit with the majority of their fans at work/school during the game. No way CBJ has the ratings to make up for it.

 

[jd22]

And here I was finally happy to get a 1900 game. Sigh.

Latest report, the Canucks are bussing it from Buffalo to Pearson Airport in TO, and from there to Columbus. Looking like Sunday will almost be a full day of travel.

Last game of a marathon roadsie....and the Canucks will likely be running on fumes. But my expectations for the Buffalo game weren't that high either, and thanks to Demko and their suffocating defensive system, they pulled through.

This Jackets team can be a defensive train-wreck at times, so maybe the Canucks can get up on them early. A 6-1 road-trip would make franchise history.
