What happened

Two wins bookended a week that still felt wrong. The 5-2 over Chicago gave them Connelly's first NHL goal in his debut, though the broadcast nearly buried it — "ESPN and this fucking interview. Goddamn can we just watch the fucking game." Then Anaheim, 4-3, the turn: "I just rage quitted the hockey game and I am going to sleep." The 3-2 in Vancouver fixed nothing, only clarified. "Thank God for Gatcomb but also Hill is simply awful." Three games in, the goaltending question is already asked and answered.
