In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
A 0-1 loss to Florida set the tone, decided by what one fan called an "uncalled penalty directly into a game winner the florida special" — the turning point, and the grievance the rest of the week hung from. Washington followed with a 5-2 beating that left someone noting "igor shesterkin has more points than the entire canes roster btw." The 3-2 win in Philadelphia barely registered; the top-voted thought was still "How to not win a Stanley cup: Don't even make the playoffs." October's three days old.

“Really disappointed in Niki. We wait years for him, he comes here and immediately gets a ring and expects a mega bag and star minutes. Feels immature and entitled if you ask me.”
