What happened
Three wins in four games, and the mood got worse anyway. The 4-1 in Boston bought goodwill that the 3-5 in Detroit spent instantly, one fan noting the team "played like absolute shit" and refusing to pin it on Errson. The turn came at the home opener, a 2-1 over Philadelphia soured by an injury that "killed the joy," followed by a 3-2 past Nashville spent arguing about referees and whether naming Brady captain was "one of the worst" calls in franchise history. Winning solves nothing here.
What fans said
“the decision to name Brady captain one of the worst in franchise history”

“wtf are people talking about goaltending for? We played like absolute shit. Maybe one goal was Errsons fault. You can’t get outshot 20-5 at one point and blame goaltending.”
