It really isn’t that intimidating a road trip. Tampa and Winnipeg are the toughest games on the whole trip and we still ended up beating Tampa three times in the regular season last year.
We always play Pitt well. Toronto is banged up and we showed we could skate with them last year. Detroit, Ottawa, and Islanders are all very very winnable games.
Cory is back so we don’t have to ride Kink into the ground. We should be getting the likes of Rooney and Gryba out the lineup this week, and Bratt should be back for the back end of the trip.
We had tougher trips last season that were supposed to end the season and the time made it through.
