The emotional rollercoaster

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

Game of the week: Tue, Oct 13, W 6-3 @ San Jose Sharks

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

A perfect California trip, and the fanbase still found something to grumble about: a 6-3 win in San Jose had someone asking "where the fuck was the too many men?" The turn came in Anaheim, where "4 unanswered goals" flipped the night into a 4-2 win and softened everyone up. Then 4-1 in Los Angeles, a first win for DiPietro, a first goal for Brunet, Poitras and Hagens connecting. Three wins, zero losses, and the worst fear now is that October is lying.

What fans said

• “Holy shit it's only October but if this can even somewhat keep up this is a top three most fun to watch Bruins team since 2011.”
