In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Two one-goal losses, 3-4 to Utah and 4-5 in Montreal, and the week turned on a game-winner the fanbase considers stolen property: "THEY STOLE OUR BABY'S GAME WINNING GOAL FROM HIM." The fury then found the blue line, with Letang blamed for overtime and the Carlile/Letang pairing declared a threat to sanity, while Arty drew a volunteer bodyguard. Montreal stung less once Crosby managed three points, which made the night "a success." Misery climbed from 17 to 42, still officially content.
