The NHL regular season sched was released recently. The Flames will be starting the season with a home-at-home series against the Canucks starting October 9th in Vancouver (that should be two easy wins). Other notables:
- The New Years Eve Classic will be played in Calgary against the Oilers.
- Two eastern swings including the likes of New York (Rags), Montreal, Toronto and Pittsburgh.
- The season ends with the Battle of Alberta, April 10th.
I haven't looked very closely yet, so Im not sure about brutal road trips or number of back-to-backs. Feel free to take a look yourself.

seven game roadie in early March looks like a key late season milestone.
At least there's a mix of good (Philly, Devils, Red Wings) and bad (Leafs, Thrashers, Hurricanes) in that trip.
You jinxed it. Now the Canucks will open the season 2-0 at your Bertuzzi-laced expense.
Shutup, a guy can dream :)
You're probably right, Mike. The Flames have been dreadful at the start of the season for the last few years now.
Well if it our season starts like it ended with you guys, I'd like a forfeit clause inserted into the by-laws immediately.
