Default Things you will miss playing only the North Division this year

I'll start. I'm really going to miss Matthew Tkachuk driving Doughty nuts this year.

Winning routinely in Anaheim and watching media struggle to come up with a new storyline

Since all Canadian based teams are all poorly managed I will miss getting to see the real elite teams in the league play against the Flames.

I think we're actually lucky that this isn't 6-7 years ago, when the Canadian teams didn't have many players worth watching. As repetitive as this is likely to get by the mid-point of the shortened season, at least we have the likes of Tavares, Marner, Matthews, McDavid, Draisaitl, Laine (when he's on), Ehlers, Petterson, Hughes, etc. to watch most evenings.


I'm mostly just going to miss the variety though, as 10 games against anybody is a lot of deja vu.

My favourite were Sunday at 630 Coyotes games. Those seemed to be the only free tickets I ever got.

I'm going to miss positive news about the Flames now that we're going to be inundated by news of the Leafs, Habs and Oilers.

i'm going to miss seeing the flames play the top couple teams in each division. it's a good litmus test for how they stack up against the top talent in the league


i think playoffs will be a different beast this year.... you can scout the opposition all you want, but if it's the first time you've actually played a team this year it could get really interesting!

I'm just happy we'll have hockey to watch during this final stretch of the pandemic. It'll be the home stretch of vaccinations before we know it when the season wraps up!

This is sort of what I'm thinking too.

I remember when the Bundesliga started up during lockdown it was great! Just something to watch to take your mind off of the crumbling fabric of society all around you.

Ditto when the NHL resumed I didnt think I was going to be interested at all but I was sorely mistaken. I watched every Flames game.

I passionately hate all of the other Canadian teams, so I will missing seeing the Flames play teams that don't make me want to puke.

I will also get sick of hearing about Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal non stop. To a lesser extent, Winnipeg and Ottawa.

My answer was this, even just on TV. I like when they play because I get to watch a Crosby game that I’m invested in, start to finish.

I'll miss getting excited to play Vegas in Vegas.

We haven't won there in forever.


Actually, we never did. There's next year for win #1 in Sin City.

I look forward to extending my hate to every other Canadian team. She's gonna get loud in my house in a few weeks.
