What happened
The week opened badly, a 1-4 loss to Ottawa that left one fan insisting "Hampus Lindholm deserves to be launched into the sun what an abysmal performance." Then the turn: 6-1 over Utah, scoring in bunches, the subreddit chanting "BRUINS BRUINS BRUINS BRUINS." A 5-1 win over Philadelphia followed, and attention drifted from the scoreboard to Minten's "slim jim hagens" t-shirt at the podium. One fan thanked a partner for buying tickets to the right game. "Just feels really fucking nice," which is all October asks.
What fans said
“A goal, two assists, and a 10 minute misconduct - call that a Fraser Minten hat trick.”
