In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
A four-game road trip opened the way these things usually open, 1-3 in Toronto and a fanbase muttering about curses. Then the turn: a 4-3 comeback in Montreal, Celebrini twice, and the mood flipped overnight. The 6-2 win in Ottawa belonged to the goaltender, "a fucking superstar tonight," save after save, one fan painting their nails in tribute. Boston ended it 4-6, which barely dented anything. Two wins, two losses, and a goalie worth doing your nails for.
What fans said
“Yaroslav Askarov a fucking superstar tonight. Save after save tonight, and some highlight reel ones too.”
