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

Game of the week: Mon, Oct 19, L 4-5 @ Utah Mammoth

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.

What happened

A 5-4 loss in Utah opened the week with the familiar shrug, though someone still managed "It's a new day! We win these! LGP!" before the final horn argued otherwise. The turn came Thursday: a 4-0 shutout of Florida on Pride night, which one fan called "iconic AF" and another proposed making permanent, every night a Pride night if this is the result. Saturday's 3-2 win over Nashville was a goalie duel and a curse-breaker. A 2-1 week, and nobody knows where to put the optimism.
