The NHL regular season sched was released recently. The Flames will be starting the season with a home-at-home series against the Canucks starting October 9th in Vancouver (that should be two easy wins). Other notables:
- The New Years Eve Classic will be played in Calgary against the Oilers.
- Two eastern swings including the likes of New York (Rags), Montreal, Toronto and Pittsburgh.
- The season ends with the Battle of Alberta, April 10th.
I haven't looked very closely yet, so Im not sure about brutal road trips or number of back-to-backs. Feel free to take a look yourself.
