What happened

A 2-1 win in Los Angeles should have bought some goodwill, but the night turned on Clarke's leg and a non-call that left the fanbase howling that he "stuck his fucking leg out on a guy who had him beat." Four days later, a 1-4 loss to Minnesota confirmed the dread: an offense fans called "absolutely anemic," report cards handed out below F- to Bennett, Ekblad and Reinhart, and injuries stacking up. Two Cups, apparently, came with an invoice.

What fans said

  • “Our offense is absolutely anemic. It’s like every team has us completely figured out. Very frustrating start.”
