What happened

Two games, two 2-4 losses, and a fanbase that stopped pretending. Calgary set the tone Tuesday, and the verdict was unanimous: "Calgary outworked us, plain and simple." Boston copied the homework three nights later, same final, less surprise. The turning point was that repeat scoreline, which turned frustration into blame, with calls for Leo and Lacombe to "step the fuck up" and open hostility toward the officiating after Poehling's injury went unpunished. Misery climbed from 44 to 65. Identical losses hurt twice.
