Default Road Trip ...

Seven games in 11 nights. Part of a nine-in-15 stretch. What are fans hoping to walk away with?

If they don't sweep the trip I will be on here in every thread raging for the firing of Treliving. Anything other than 100% success is a failure and will reflect on me, a fan of the team.

Kidding aside, if they keep playing like they have been I will be happy and they will be racking up points.

I'd be extremely happy with 10 points. Just hoping last night was a bit of a kick in the butt before the road trip.

The ellipsis following ‘Road Trip’ in the thread title makes it come across as something foreboding but I can’t help but think this road trip is something the boys are looking forward to. Any record with at least 4 wins is good but I feel like they could get at least 5 wins with how they’ve been dominating and owning play most nights.

9 points out of 9 games would be great.

Bet they get more though. They are playing well.

14 points up for grabs. A grueling road trip with lots of games in a short period of time.

9 or better points is a resounding success. 8 points is a 'well, okay, not bad.' 7 points will be, 'meh, .500 hockey on a tough trip, can't complain I guess.'

On the other side of the coin 0-3 points will be, "OMG, they suck again! Trade Sutter! Fire Gaudreau! Play different music on the plane!!" 4-6 points will be, "Well, that's real disappointing considering how they were playing. Now, which team is the real Flames?"

.750 at home and .500 on the road is a good playoff position.

Flames need to pick it up at home.

I think 9pts is a good bar for a team that wants to be in the playoffs and make something happen.

Also the caveat that we don't see any lame "brought the beer cart in" or stick throwing bs puff piece stories.

World domination.

Seven and oh. Fourteen points. Seven blowouts. No mercy.


But I'll settle for 9 points - I think that would make for a pretty successful 7-game trip. Ten would be fantastic.

A quiet and content baby during all of these prime time games here in Ontario.

I'll be happy with 8 or 9 points; more is better.

Looks like a gruelling trip, but maybe a really good opportunity for the bonding and support to grow even more. They'll be exhausted by the end of it. In Sutter we trust.
