OH GOOD, ROAD GAMES

The Stars have won 8 road games. If they win out they'll win 20, but that isn't going to happen. So let's move on to other things.

They have this 3 game trip prior to the Olympic break and on paper it looks terrific. Really, it does.

The trip starts in Chicago where they pumped the Hawks back in October - when they used to win on the road -and they are 2-0 against the Windy City Darlings this season.

Next up, the Saddledome in Calgary where they hammered the Flames 5-2, again back in October, and are 2-1 against the recently remodeled Sutterites. ( By the way, that was one of their four games in which they have pumped a team by more than 3 goals)

Finally, they'll wrap it up in the desert where they used to always win and usually would shutout the Coyotes. Eight goals against in the two games played there this year suggests that those days are over.

Ilya Bryzgalov is a problem - I say run him - ya, run the big Russian, that's my birthday wish - Splattered Bryzgalov.
