Yup.
The first game scheduling made less than no sense, other than to start the Oilers off on the right foot and the Flames on the wrong one.
Canucks were already in Alberta on opening day. Rather than make the Alberta tour so that the Flames start their season in the first three days of active games, they send them back home and leave the Flames to sit around until Saturday. Because, reasons.
