This will mark the first time that the NHL has allowed its players to compete in an Olympic competition that will be held in an NHL market. As a result, the Canucks will be faced with the longest road trip in NHL history, with 14 games over 6 weeks, from January 27 to March 13, 2010[2] to allow General Motors Place to be used for ice hockey during the games,[3] which will shut down the NHL for 2 weeks, like it has since the games in Nagano, Japan. [edit] Playoffs The Vancouver Canucks will attempt to make it to the playoffs in back-to-back years for the first time post-lockout.
