What happened
Vegas rolled in and left with a 5-2 win, and the board had already found its scapegoat: "All I want from the hockey gods is no more Skjei." Then came the turning point, a 3-2 shootout loss to San Jose that broke something, with fans demanding Bruno be fired "just for putting Colton on the shootout" instead of anyone not named Forsberg. Thursday's 5-2 win over St. Louis cooled things slightly, though the thread still found room for "FUCK Corey Perry." Progress, technically.
What fans said
“Next practice should be a shootout only. Colton as the third shooter really???”

“Ross Colton as a 3rd shooter should be the straw on the camel’s back that gets Bruno fired.”

“Fire Bruno just for putting Colton on the shootout and refusing to try someone besides Forsberg who obviously is snakebitten with shootouts.”
