The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.

Worst game: Tue, Oct 27, L 5-6 vs Vancouver Canucks

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

Anaheim scored 17 goals and still went 1-2, which says plenty about the other end of the ice. The 5-6 loss to Vancouver set the tone, with one fan concluding that losing "LIKE THAT to the worst team in the league" means "you're right there with them." A 6-7 defeat to Buffalo confirmed the diagnosis: "electric offense and putrid defense." The 6-3 win over Ottawa nudged the misery index from 86 to 81. Somewhere, a locker room is joking "great 40 minute effort boys," and nobody outside it is laughing.
