If the Heat want to draw fans in the Lower Mainland, they would be best served to do more afternoon games on Saturdays then going head to head with the Canucks. I was very disappointed when they released the schedule and had no matinees with the one exception of the Marlies game which was televised nationally.
Sure hope we get some prospects as the 2 games I went to were borderline painful. Hope Feaster is very active this summer in pursuing youth (still waiting for the Flames to sign Kruise Reddick) and get some offensive creativity going. Let's hope that he is able to make some shrewd signings like Gillis did (ie Tanev/Lack) which will expedite the replenishment of bonafide prospects after years of neglect.
