What happened

Three games, three losses, and a fanbase that ran out of patience by Thursday. The 2-6 to Tampa opened the week with grumbling about posts and a joke that Mark Stone will "play for us until he's 78 and then get buried in the ice." Then came the 2-6 in St. Louis, the turning point, where the diagnosis shifted: "bigger problems than the net minder boys." A 1-2 loss in Columbus barely registered. Pleas for "one fucking save" from Hart, blame for Theo, and a crowd begging the skaters to stop sitting on their own goalie.
