In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Four wins, and the complaints shrank to broadcast logistics — one fan "beyond incensed" that six Sportsnet channels somehow didn't carry the 3-1 win over San Jose. The 6-2 in Columbus came with sympathy for Knies and his new address. Then the turn: the Rangers game, 5-4, and a bench celly for Stecher's goal that had people insisting they'd never seen "team vibes being this good." Edmonton 7-2 confirmed it. Misery fell from 81 to 37, which for this fanbase counts as suspiciously close to happy.
