What happened
The week opened with a 3-4 loss to Detroit, and the loudest grief went to defending Jarry, with fans insisting the "team straight up let him down." Then Calgary visited and left with a 4-0 beating, inspiring dog-related revenge fantasies and flipping the whole week. Jarry posted a second straight shutout, 4-0 on Long Island, and a 4-1 win over the Rangers had fans welcoming Tomkins. Three wins, one loss, and a fanbase in October already admitting it is "SO excited for spring.
What fans said
“I am SO excited for spring. But I am also just enjoying this amazingly refreshing early season start.”
