Yeah... big emotional letdown after beating the Kings, get into town right before game time the next day, 2 games in under 24 hours, rookie goalie playing for the other team... this has trap game written all over it for Vancouver.

So would they have to fly to Edmonton and then bus to Calgary?

I see this game being cancelled.

@BradZiemer: AC says two problems in Calgary: snow and runway lights there are not operating, effectively closing the airport.

A family member of mine in Calgary has a rock solid Flames connection and she just texted me that the game is cancelled. I can forward my source to a mod if need be. The connection was dropping off tickets for my relative and instead showed up to tell them the game is postponed. "Canucks will be not be able to make it here with enough time to spare."

Movie night!

One day of snow. That's all we got in Van. this winter. It didn't even occur to me that it might still be a problem elsewhere.

Zero chance of the Canucks making it here in time if they do this. The highway south of Red Deer looks to be a mess

3-3 1/2 hours i think.

Maybe the game is postponed til 8PM. That'd be acceptable.

We had 16 degrees here in Kamloops and snow is gone. Seems weird to see pictures like that this time of year. Friends from edson had been some crazy snow
