Road Trip XV Re-Cap

Well now that I've had time to settle back into Calgary, I thought I'd put together a little summary of the East Coast swing that was my road trip last week.

While it obviously would have been nicer to see the Flames go 4-0, I never really thought that would happen.  Let's be honest, this team isn't very good, so I never really expected too many wins.  Plus, I have to admit I have a spectacularly poor record at away games, having gone 10-13-4 in the past six seasons.  Of course this isn't to say there aren't any positives from this trip.  They did manage three points, which is better than many of my trips.  Also, they didn't get shutout, which is always an empty feeling leaving an enemy's arena.

Here's a look at the numbers for the trip:
