Don't think so...believe it started on time as Calgary was in town...I also remember watching it on 2&7 and it wasn't late.

Here's Andy Brickley talking about it, he didn't make it until 9pm and the game was almost over. Peter McNabb walked the last mile, and was the last guy needed for NJ to make a full roster, or so the story goes.

The Wings/Hawks game is pretty fast and skilled. More passes completed in 5 minutes than the Flames in the whole game.

Did the Flames skate today? Meaning they'd be already there.

you have the time going the wrong way, canucks leaving at 1245 is 145 in Calgary

Sorry...yes, then 3:15, getting to the Dome at 4:00-4:30. Some fans will be there before the opponents.

C-train is still running? Then everything will be fine.

Twitter says Canucks flight is canceled. Waiting for a decent source.

If the game actually ends up getting played... we have a fourth stringer in net and they played last night and will be landing just hours before puck drop. Sounds like one ugly game. Flames win 5-4.

#canucks are currently boarding flight, as per usual RT @EricFrancis: Based on ferocity of storm my guess is Flames game will be rescheduled

If Vancouver doesnt show up, we may have a chance.

[_Q_]

I think the Flames still find a way to lose tonight.... with or without the Canucks here.

I saw that tweet, and many after it. They're on the plane. Scheduled to go at 1:45 still... so we won't know till their actually wheels up if they're going or not.

Looks like planes are landing at YYC again so it must have re-opened.

I think that's been asked and answered on every page of this thread.

Feel free to watch the Canucks flight path...
