Best rivalry in hockey.

If schedule details are being released does this mean the CBA has been ratified or not?

 

[Qward]

Owners meet tomorrow and vote. Players vote electronically on Friday. If both pass, deal is ratified and players can resume working with their teams. Deals can be made officially and training camps can open.

NHL will probably wait until the player vote to release the schedule.

Woo hoo!!! This is actually perfect.

 

[Daffy]

Woo hoo!!! This is actually perfect.

Agreed. I don't work until 6:45 saturday night. An afternoon game is fantastic for me. I'd hate to miss the first game.

 

[GK]

I like how we're starting against the Jets, in Winnipeg. Those are always fun games to watch.

AND it's an Afternoon game! Which I love.

Yeah, I know! My kids are off to the grandparents for the weekend (well, the older ones). So I get to laze around all day, THEN play some pick up at night!

 

[Vaclav Varada]

I work overnights during the week. Pumped I'll be able to watch the whole first game.

I miss hearing Dean Brown's voice, haha

Thanks. Slightly annoyed about the afternoon game though, that's going to be a 2am start for me. Oh well, just happy there will be hockey to watch at some point!

An afternoon game in the Peg against a fresh new rival, place will be absolutely rocking. Great game to start off with.

Nothing quite like sleeping and waking up to hockey.

 

[Rumcajs]

Dean Brown is great but who can forget Potvins timeless analysis. That man gets it.

 

[Laoghaire]

I dream of the year we actually start at home.

 

[SelleckStache]

Karlsson v. Kane

 

[OttawaSenators11]

It will be a tough first game with that home ice advantage

 

[GoSensGo6172]

Excitement to have NHL hockey back is through the roof in most cities. In Winnipeg it's multiplied by 100

Sens will have to be ready to go and match their intensity. Mac will run a tight camp.

 

[HappyGilmour]

Can't wait to watch this one on TEAM 1200.

 

[CanadianHockey]

Won't even be able to watch it...

 

[metalfoot]

So excited! In Winnipeg! But 5yo is going to a birthday party that day so can't go... who am I kidding, wouldn't be able to get a ticket anyway!

 

[Shanny]

I'd assume HNIC will be carrying this one..
