Beating Philly bought Keefe two days; a 6-0 gutting spent it, with Mantha already useless on arrival.

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Two games in, and the mood had already curdled. A 3-2 win over Philadelphia came with the kind of energy where a fan notes someone "fucking flies off the ice" as a compliment and an accusation at once. Then Long Island: a 0-6 loss that functioned as the week's hinge, turning grumbling into verdicts. "Keefe needs to be gone yesterday." Elsewhere, complaints that "Mantha has looked completely fucking useless," and the crease described as "basically an open tryout behind Allen." October barely started.
