How about a few from March of last year:
W, 1 goal against on 3/30/2012 in Calgary.
L, 1 goal against on 3/28/2012 in Vancouver.
W, 1 goal against on 3/17/2012 in MSG vs NYR.
W, shutout on 3/4/2012 in Minnesota.
W, shutout on 2/24/2012 in Columbus.
...
Should I keep finding games?
It's true that he was a bit rocky to start last season on the road (except a shutout vs. Boston in Game 2).
And it will be true that it will be much tougher for Colorado to win games with Landeskog out of the line-up.
But generic comments about not starting a goalie on the road???
Really???
Meh. That's rookie thinking there. Thumbs down.

Yes, and the one time I got a chick off is proof of my great abilities as a lover... even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
Home/road splits are a perfectly valid way to help you decide what to do about starting your goalies but you know, you're right, statements that include things like "midnight research" and "could require more research" deserve to get stripped down.
