CenterIce 83 Report post Posted October 14, 2009 why the hell do the wings suck on the road? This might go with what I was going to post. Coming into tonight, the Wings have given up 3 goals each in the 1st and 3rd periods. They had given up 7 in the 2nd. As of now, that is 4 goals in the first and 11 in the 2nd. Long change, and on the road, you are trying to get your match-ups, since you don't have last change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im kinda getting annoyed cause this is the same thing i noticed in Sweden. not to mention that every team has to deal with those issues so why cant we get right!

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted October 14, 2009 It's been just 5 games, kinda hard to have a fair sample size of stinking up the joint at home or on the road as pretty much every team in the league will go 2-3 at some point in the year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gizmo 21 Report post Posted October 14, 2009 Part of me wonders if the Swedish road-trip is part of the problem. Anahiem had a similar slump in the start of their 2007-2008 season during, and after, their NHL road-trip to London. The defending Cup champions started their season out 1-4... including getting spanked by the BJs. I remember people asking "What's wrong with the Ducks?" similar to the comments uttered by the Versus guys last evening. I know the Wings are used to three hour time zone swings in their trips out West, but part of me wonders if these week-long good-will tours takes a toll on the teams that go on them.
