What happened

A 2-3 loss in Winnipeg barely dented the mood, and the 7-3 demolition in Calgary had the fanbase cheerfully off-topic, trading birthday wishes for the Manimal, requests for "Henry pug for intermission pet tax," and praise for an Altitude booth that feels "like sitting in a basement with pure hockey IQ and a three drink minimum." Then Toronto came to town, won 3-6, and the power play turned a good week sour: "I dont know how someone isn't fired over this PP." Nate's villain era has company.
