What happened

The week opened kindly: a 3-2 win over Minnesota, a game-winner, a fanbase briefly allowed to say "let's goooo." Then Dallas, and the 0-4 shutout that turned the mood for good — the shots favored Buffalo, the scoreboard did not, and UPL became the name everyone typed in anger, one fan offering "the zamboni driver from carolina" as an upgrade. The 1-4 loss to Utah shifted the target to Lindy's lines and Norris. Then, quieter, the worst thought: "Maybe UPL wasn't the problem.
