An excerpt from Globesports.com (Matthew Sekeres):

The NHL club released its 2008-09 schedule yesterday, which includes two six-game trips and one seven-game swing, as well as home-and-home series with all three Canadian teams in the Eastern Conference.

Habster:

If I had Mats Sundin’s email address, I would be happy to send him the Vancouver Canucks travel schedule which is more brutal than usual thanks to the new NHL schedule.
Two 6 games road trips and one 7 games road trip!!!!!……..not even $10 million per season should persuade Mats to deal with such an unforgiven travel agenda.
