Upcoming 5 game road trip

[Cornuck]

Thu, Oct 16 @Dallas (2-0)
Fri, Oct 17 @Chicago (1-2-1)
Sun, Oct 19 @Washington (matinee) (2-1)
Tue, Oct 21 @Pittsburgh (2-1)
Thu, Oct 23 @Nashville (2-0-1)

Not going to be an easy one, starting with 3 games in four 3-1/2 days. Then every other night after that. Then we come back home for 3 games in 4 nights.

What are reasonable expectations for this? Usually, anything .500 or above is considered a success. Would a 2-3 record be ok considering the schedule?

Dallas - tough
Chicago - good chance
Washington - tough
Pittsburgh - possible (but Silovs will put on a show )
Nashville - tough

Considering the schedule, 2 - 3 should be considered an 'okay result.' 2-2-1 or better would be a good road trip.

Don't sell Chicago short...they've been competitive thus far and appear to be building a bit of a culture at long last.

Chicago are young and full of beans, they are not walkovers anymore

[Blob Mckenzie]

4/5 is my prediction.

[Madcombinepilot]

sometime this year, we play 7 games in 10 nights...

I think this is the start of it??

Yep - going to be a fun start to the season.

4/5 is my prediction.

With Demko in-form, anything is possible. I can see Lank getting the Chicago and/or Nashville games, and he should be able to at least get one win out of those. Demko should be able to get at least two wins out of the remaining three against Wash, Dallas and Pittsburgh.

Then watch the offence continue to implode over the road trip...

As long as the scotch is flowing, and I can finally hear Jim n color dude do the broadcast, I am all right. Damn, watching homer feeds the last 3 games almost sucked part of my soul out. 18 yr old scotch saved my life.

2 out of 5
Nashville & Pittsburgh, Maybe Chicago, but they've been playing well lately and the Canucks haven't.

2 fingers or 4?

This little break might have been timely to get the crew a reset. It can go sideways awfully quickly.

I predict 3-1-1

[theman]

Already 3 wins on this road trip, wow.
