St Louis Blues defenseman Justin Faulk recently admitted he's doesn't enjoy playing hockey games in Canada. The Blues are currently on a Western Canada road trip and faced off against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday and head to Calgary to take on the Flames on Monday night. Faulk met with the media late last week and had this to say about playing away games north of the border right now:I’m not looking forward to going to Canada one bit. But we’ll play some hockey games and get it over with and then come back. I mean it just seems to be that things are going a little bit differently up there than they are here.
