The schedule people in the AHL really dropped the ball when they set it up for every game to land on the same night as a Canuck playoff game.
Its too bad for us Abbotsford folk because the revenue would have been very good to offset the bills....

i agree totally, they got hosed, and you can only expect so much out of fans in that area.
i was just trying to note that playoff attendance generally sucks for the ahl, so it might not be the best regardless of the canucks schedule.
