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.”
