Flames Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Disneyland is supposedly the happiest place on earth. Tell that to the Flames. Trips to Anaheim have been nothing but a horror show for the Flames all the way back to the spring of 2004.

The Flames have lost 13 straight regular-season road games against the Anaheim Ducks, a skid that began with the finale of the 2003-04 season.

The Flames, who ended a two-game losing skid by dropping the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 Friday night, are once again on the verge of making a run to get into the top eight of the Western Conference.
