Pittsburgh Penguins

The week, game by game

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

• Tue, Oct 13L 3-5@ CHI40
• Fri, Oct 16L 2-5@ COL41
• Sat, Oct 17L 2-6@ VGK57

The emotional rollercoaster

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

Worst game: Sat, Oct 17, L 2-6 @ Vegas Golden Knights

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

Three road games, three losses, and a fanbase sliding from hopeful to feral. A 3-5 night in Chicago still had someone thrilled to see the Penguins live for the first time. Colorado's 2-5 bled off the charm, though one holdout insisted "Lizzo is an absolute crackhead out there. I love it." Then Vegas, 2-6, and the knives came out: "Fire Therrien, Fleury's a bust, Whitney's too soft." Someone defended Kuzy's grief; someone else just mourned "the first 95 minutes of the season.
