The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
Game of the week: Thu, Oct 8, W 4-3 vs Toronto Maple Leafs
In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Three games, three wins, and a fanbase that forgot what complaining felt like. The 6-2 romp in Seattle set the tone, with Stone described as "a fucking psycho laughing and I Iove it." The turn came Thursday: Marner's overtime snipe to beat Toronto 4-3, which one fan greeted as "MARNER YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD!" Then 2-1 over Los Angeles, Connelly drawing raves, the grey jerseys retired on a high. Only Hill drew doubt, a lone sour note nobody wanted to hear yet.
