Nashville Predators

The week, game by game

Each game's fan misery, from first comment to the next game. ● marks a blowup.

• Thu, Oct 1L 1-3vs MIN69
• Sat, Oct 3W 2-1vs DAL30

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.

Worst game: Thu, Oct 1, L 1-3 vs Minnesota Wild

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

The 1-3 loss to Minnesota set the tone, and the fanbase went straight to the bleakest available conclusion: "We may never score a goal again this year." One fan declared every team they root for cursed and themselves "fucking exhausted." Others blamed Bruno's "unwillingness to modify his systems," wanted Marchessault gone, and noted that "that contract will force him to retire here." Then the 2-1 win over Dallas flipped the week, though it cost Josi's head a trip into the boards. Relief, with a bruise.
