Game of the week: Thu, Oct 22, W 2-1 vs Minnesota Wild
In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Two games, two wins, and a fanbase that forgot how to be miserable. The 2-1 squeaker past Minnesota turned on a third period where, as one fan put it, "Cooley just unconscious in that 3rd period" — the kind of shift that rearranges a week's mood. Then 4-1 over Detroit, and the giddiness went fully off-leash: "FUCK IT, Rebuilds cancelled!" Someone still muttered about curses nobody speaks of anymore. In Calgary, joy arrives with a receipt and a return window.
