That's my guess, but I don't know how long it takes to acclimate. Almost wonder if that's the concern if going out a few days ago would've been better?
Vancouver has to be the longest flight we take, so I could imagine it had to be discussed even if then dismissed. For the taller players, sitting in coach for the length of the flight would be pretty annoying.
Pretty sure that it was reported either last year or our first year that the DPs have the option to buy their own first class tickets but they didn't to show solidarity. Not sure if that was a DP perk or simply they had the money to burn compared to players 23-28 (and probably 15-22) who need to have roommates to survive.
After last game, Eirik needs practice in getting up quickly from uncomfortable/contorted positions. Put him in the aisle seat with his two rowmates drinking water non-stop so he has to constantly stand/sit.
Wow, that 12pm midday practice yesterday must've been a real kick in the nuts with the temps where they were.
A few months ago, I coincidentally ended up on the flight back with the team. It was a relatively short flight, but they gave Eirik the one row that was empty to himself (watching him try to sit in the regular coach sit with someone next to him had been pretty amusing). Maybe they were cutting him too much slack!
As far as I know, no. At the Queens City in the Boroughs event, PV made it clear he wants to try and hold on to those until the playoffs.
