In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
A 1-5 loss in New York set the tone, and the power play took the blame before the second period was over: one fan called it "actually shocking Halpern hasn't been fired," another watched "Hagel getting murdered with no call" and recognized an old friend. Thursday's 3-1 win over Washington was the turn, though the celebration arrived mostly as "Goooooaaalllll" and a request for "a *"Fuck Tom Wilson"*." John Carlson got his own review. Two games in, and the grievances are already fully staffed.
What fans said
“Can I get a *“Fuck Tom Wilson”*???”
