The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
Worst game: Tue, Oct 27, L 1-5 vs New Jersey Devils
In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Dallas opened the week with a 1-5 loss to New Jersey that fans pinned on the officiating, one itemizing grievances before concluding the Devils "played a perfectly clean game." A 2-5 loss to Montreal turned the anger inward: "I don't mind losing. I hate how we lose." The turning point came on Halloween, a 3-1 win over Columbus that halted the skid. The 1-2 week pushed misery from 36 to 61, and the lone victory was hailed as "not the prettiest," which here counted as praise.
What fans said
“Just to recap: 1. A player can box out your tendy and it's A-OK 2. Your tendy can poke check a puck, after which the player falls and that's tripping 3. You can not throw a single punch and get 17 minutes for instigating 4. NJ played a perfectly clean game Onwards”
