How long a drive is it from Edm to Cal?
On good roads, 2.5-3 hours.

In poor weather? 3 hours to road closure

Nor me. I live in Victoria, it is sunny and looking like spring. I am planning on doing some gardening this afternoon.

Not in this snow.

What is the contingency for a game like this..delay of game? Total reschedule? Shortened season may make that difficult

While I'm 90% on board for this team to fail hard this year just to show ownership we're not 1 or 2 pieces away so they can finally start moving away from that line of thinking, I do still hate to cheer against the team.

What I'm doing now is cheering for individuals. I want Sven to do well to show everyone that he belongs on the Top 2. I want Cervenka to prove naysayers wrong. I want Hudler to keep scoring. Brodie to keep developing. Iginla to keep scoring to raise his trade value.

Yeah, going to Edmonton isn't going to help...a 2.5 bus ride in ideal conditions, add at least an hour or more if there is an accident on the QE2, and its not worth it.

Calgary plays Wed. here vs SJ.
Vancouver plays Tuesday at home vs SJ.

Vancouver play here tomomrrow instead?

Why didn't they fly out last night knowing the snow was coming? They snow the snow was coming for days.

Matt Baker ‏@BakesTakes84 Canucks still scheduled to depart for #YYC at 12:45.. No talk of postponment yet.


I'm assuming we still play tonight.

Cause of the fog last night would be my guess.

How exactly if the airport is closed? Unless the storm lets up which I don't think it is going to.

If the Canucks are still arriving, the best bet would be delay the game for a few hours rather than messing up the schedule.

On this topic however, I bought tickets to the game from an STH, if it is cancelled or rescheduled, what happens? Do I take in the physical tickets for a refund or take it up with him?

No reason why can't play here tomorrow. Means Van plays back to back Mon/Tue rather then Sat/Sun.
SJ's schedule doesn't change, and Feaster has an extra snow day to make a trade

If this does happen I wonder if Sestito would fight McGratton. I suspect that would go badly for the Canuck.

4-2 Vancouver, only because they played last night. Otherwise, 6-2
