Look at the Calgary Flames’ four-game road trip one way, and it looks like they went on a skid where they lost three games before hanging on for dear life and beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 on Saturday afternoon. “We didn’t love our trip, to be honest with you,” said Flames head coach Bill Peters. It’s nice to be rewarded for a lot of the hard work I’ve been putting in.”This was also a strange road trip for some of the Flames’ biggest stars. “Yeah, I didn’t like the hit — I didn’t think (Czarnik) touched the puck,” Bennett said. “Anytime I see one of my teammates getting hit like that I think there needs to be a response, and sometimes it’s necessary.”ROUGH WEEKIt has been a bad road trip for the Flames’ faces.
