Preview of Road Trip XVI

After over a year, my mission of seeing the Flames play in every NHL arena continues this week, with a short sojurn to the Sunshine State, Florida.  The timing couldn't be better, as it's always nice to visit somewhere warm in the middle of a Calgary December.  The current forecast calls for temperatures int he mid-20's, meaning I'll be wearing my flippy-floppies to the hockey arena.  Tomorrow night, it will be a rematch of the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals, with a Flames-Lightning tilt at the St. Pete Times Forum, followed by a game against the Panthers on Friday night, in Sunrise.

I've actually never visited Florida, despite having been to 44 other states, so I'm pretty excited to be scratching another off the list, but of course it's the two hockey games that are the most important and visiting my 18th and 19th NHL arenas.

This will mark the first time Newman is joining us on the road!  While he made the trip to Edmonton a few years ago, he's never been along for a Flames game South of the border.  I forecast sun, beer, and hockey.  Plus a little Jai Alai.
