Game of the week: Tue, Oct 13, L 2-5 @ Winnipeg Jets
In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Four games, three wins, and a fanbase briefly unsure what to do with happiness. The 4-2 win over Vegas set the tone, one fan asking to "Inject that Lorenz line into my veins," another noting that "ANY DAY IS A GOOD DAY WHEN VEGAS LOSES." Winnipeg answered 5-2, but the turn came against St. Louis, a 5-4 survival job fueled by a Boldy hat trick. Talbot "was honestly on one," Columbus fell 2-1, and misery dropped to 27. Someone said it plainest: "the MN wild are now leading the Central division.
What fans said
“When they score a goal, I think to myself 'yes' When the other team scores a goal, I think to myself 'no'”
