What happened

Three games, one win, and the misery meter somehow peaked on the night Montreal won. The 4-6 loss to Carolina set the tone, with fans insisting the "defense needs to wake the fuck up" and already fretting about Hutson's minutes. The 2-5 drop to Nashville was the turn, Matheson's "constant brain fart mistakes" drawing comparisons to players who'd be bused to Laval for less. Then a 1-0 win over Detroit, decided in a manner one fan called "cancer to this sport." Victory, and still furious.

What fans said

• “We can NOT already be playing Hutson 30 min a game. Defense needs to wake the fuck up.”

• “Refs not stopping the play for Dobes with no glove, AND letting a shot go off, was so Incredibly dangerous.”

  u/Ropeycarnivore▲ 35rage

• “Sorry, but this is just unacceptable. We were eliminated in five games last year in **exactly** the same way.”

  u/patpitpout▲ 33rage

• “Miserable game, we deserved to lose, and the coaching staff needs to get their shit together.”

  u/Scase15▲ 30rage

• “Fucking dumb way to lose a game. Our top 6 continues to be completely MIA minus Nick though and we're going to keep losing unless they wake the fucking fuck up.”
