What happened

Four games, four wins, and a fanbase that forgot what complaining feels like. It started ugly in Montreal, a 6-4 win fans called "bonkers," full of "pansy ass hits" and "BS penalties." Then the 7-2 demolition of Vancouver flipped everything, and the Canes Crew member who calmed a crying little skater drew as much love as the scoreline. Chicago fell 5-2, Philadelphia 4-1, and Jackson Blake became, in the thread's words, "so, so fucking good." Misery dropped to 18. Someone declared them champions of October 6th.
