Important Road Trips
By Mark Huss
Fans dislike them, I am sure players hate them, and of course they could become critical points in the standings. Yes, I am taking about long road trips. Not sure what constitutes a long stretch of away games, but for the sake of argument, I am going to go with three or more away games in a row. The Blue Jackets are in this situation five times this season. Just one of these away stretches could make or break the season for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Click that arrow to the right and we can move on and look at the dreaded road trips of this upcoming season.
