Detroit tied the all-time NHL record for most road wins by earning their 28th victory away from home Monday night. The unlucky victims were the Calgary Flames, who fell 2-1 in the shootout. If they beat the Blue Jackets in Columbus Saturday night, they will shatter the mark set by the New Jersey Devils during the 1998-99 season. Of course, they will also be without leading scorer Pavel Datsyuk, who is out for at least a week with a lower-body injury. Can they claim the record as their own?

We (Columbus) can't let that happen now can we?...We have our own winning streak to worry about...and we beat these jokers in Detroit might I add.

confident, isn't he? would you call them jokers to their face, GDK?
makes that game pretty exciting. I'll be keeping an eye on the scoreboard for sure. I tend to root for underdogs too.

Blueandwhite girl I would never back out of a fight or miss a turn at teasing the school bully...come on now...they lost to us on their home turf...and we had a massive come back. The day will come when some will say, those darn Blue Jackets always win...its about time an underdog takes them down...

Side Bar: Speaking of Underdogs, did you ever watch the cartoons?...I liked Underdog, he was cool...

[blueandwhite]

yeah he was.

They just don't make heroes like that anymore...

Sure hope it's intact come Saturday. I'd love to see it be the Columbus streak vs. the Red Wings road record. I think I'd have to be rooting for the Jackets under those circumstances... Detroit will have other opportunities to earn another road win. They've still got Chicago, St. Louis and Nashville on the road before the season ends. Let 'em break the record in one of those games!
