In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Two games, two one-goal losses, both 1-2: Florida on Monday, Vegas on Saturday. The turning point came in overtime in Vegas, where the sight of Doughty, Laughton and Dumoulin hopping over the boards had the fanbase asking, "This is embarrassing. Why would we send out Doughty, Laughton and Dumo for OT?" Even the broadcast turned hostile, one fan noting the franchise is "a joke" because "even the broadcast connection is fighting the fans." Misery climbed from 73 to 87. Losing is survivable; buffering through it isn't.
What fans said
“This franchise is a joke. Not only do we stink on ice. But even the broadcast connection is fighting the fans.”
