Meanwhile, CBJ 5-1-0 without Johansen, Horton, Murray, Erixon, and now Jenner. Somehow.

On the bright side it looks like Zach Redmond is making the final roster. :unsmith:

In all seriousness, the Avs need John Mitchell way more than people think and I think his absence is loving with everyone's feng shui. Fans like to pin that first round loss to the Wild on the loss of Tyson Barrie and Matt Duchene but I think Mitchell being gone hurt just as bad.

I hope he's able to come back. This whole "mysterious ongoing migraines" since his season ended with a concussion last year is so sad.

He might be out for a while or at least, often, so I'm hoping they're making a contingency plan if he's injured more often than not. And McGinn should be ready for opening night, thankfully.

Also, got tickets to the Avs' home opener. :getin: Now I need to decide what jersey to wear again. Fun fact, counting back to the post season, the Avs play the Wild nine times in a row.

I don't. I didn't have GCL last year, but this year I signed up a week or so before they partnered with Rogers -- so it was still just NHL GCL when I signed up. I guess I'll know more next year. I assume that it would though -- the billing page still looks like the old billing stuff I saw in 2011 or whenever.

I don't really understand the GCL / ROgers thing. When I go to watch a game from nhl.com/scores I can sign in with my GCL info, but if I go to the GCL website it wants to sign me in with a MyRogers account. I could just be doing it wrong because I haven't put too much effort into figuring out the new site yet, but it's a little confusing.

Yeah it's weird though because whenever I click on anything it brings me to the MyRogers login page where my login info doesn't work but the billing page still has all my old info from when I registered 3 seasons ago yet NHL Vault still works with my old login info. It's typically confusing for NHL.com. I'd go ahead and register for the Early Bird price on Rogers.com if I wasn't worried I might somehow get double billed if the auto-renew does kick in somehow.

Did the auto-renew even happen yet? I've been waiting for a notice. The FAQ stated that you're supposed to get a notice so you can opt out.

Go to NHL.com, login, click Watch Now on any currently running game, then click Billing Info.

Actually I just phoned the number listed in the customer service FAQ and the recording states that any Canadian customers will not be auto renewed this season due to the new deal with Rogers. I am relieved.

EDIT: Also I just did what you said and didn't see a way to cancel service.

Maybe they removed it. I did it a few weeks ago. It was post Rogers switch too.

I assume they're not renewing people because they raised the price and you can't just charge people a higher rate on a renewal they never agreed to.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.
