Sure hope people outside Calgary can watch these online this year. Last year was the first tine I couldn't and I was unimpressed.

very likely the Flames get the Canucks B squad for their games with the Canucks. Canucks A squad will be in China for their preseason games with the LA Kings.

Maybe their A squad returns in time for the game on the 28th.

Is there really a difference between A and B?

Canucks A squad is like a C. I'd hate to see what their B team looks like.

I like to see the Flames play an afternoon pre-season game. Be great for kids and families that would be able to pick up tickets on the secondary market for likely a lot cheaper than a regular season game.

Flames have to start playing their full roster earlier in the preseason. I'm tired of us always coming out of the gate sloppy.

Or at least quit making the preseason about pto tryouts.
