The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
What happened
Two straight 3-4 losses, to the Islanders and then the Capitals, had Nashville fans drafting their own practice plans, with one insisting the next month "should only consist of 3 on 3 and shootouts" and another demanding a trade "like mid game." The turn came on Halloween: a 5-4 win over Tampa Bay, which one fan called "AMAZING," crediting "Stamkos clutch" and a Skjei who "was a dog on that penatly kill." Misery fell from 69 to 55, which in Nashville passes for a cure.

“The only reason Preds don’t have multiple cups is because we don’t have a team with both Stamkos and Kucherov.”
