It takes longer then 55 minutes. Plus they need to unload all the equipment and then bus it too the dome. It's not that simple. They wouldn't arrive until 5 at the dome.

If they cancel this it'll be because they don't want people driving, not because of the Canucks' flight.

Good times.
so stupid, GM tried to trade the pick for a young player and would have had to move an old player out for cap space yet people are still on with this crap. What moves to get older has this team made in the last 2 years?

The latest they could leave without pushing the game back is probably 2:30. They're still not wheels up.

No, it takes no longer than an hour. I've taken the flight enough times to know, as i'm sure many others have too. They're waiting in the airport to take off, so when they're ok'd, there won't be any time consumption at that end. So, it depends on how long it takes them to get off the flight, and on a bus to the dome.

And yeah, it's not that simple, but I'm sure that between 4:30 and 6 they could make it from the airport to the dome with their stuff. It could get a little hairy time-wise, but it could be done lol.

I've flown many times to Vancouver it's not just 55 minutes especially in crappy weather.

Maybe Vancouver will have to get dressed on the plane or bus.
Just hope they take the skate guards off before stepping on the Dome ice.

Plenty of flights getting in now, a bit of a back log but landing shouldn't be an issue at this point. They might be rushed for game day preparations but.. too bad.
