The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
Game of the week: Thu, Oct 1, W 3-1 @ Nashville Predators
In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Two games in, two wins, and the fanbase has already abandoned all restraint. The opener in Nashville went 3-1, enough for one fan to declare "I LIKE IT. I LOVE IT. I WANT SOME MORE OF IT." Then Boston came to town and left down 4-1, which is where things tipped from relief into delusion: "I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, 84-0 INCOMING." Elsewhere the mood turned tender, with notes about Brock's teammates, the Foligno line, and Moose scaling the glass. Nobody has mentioned April yet. Give it time.

“Some may say it’s too early to start saying things like “this might be the greatest team ever assembled” only two games into the season… but this may be the greatest team ever assembled.”
