In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
The week opened with a 2-5 loss to Los Angeles, which one fan summarized as "5 unanswered goals against the worst team in hockey what the fuck." That collapse set the tone, and the 4-3 win over Buffalo four days later did little to undo it. The complaints kept their shape regardless of result: Chychrun has "rocks for brains," Protas prompted a mournful "what happened to you," and a Thompson scare drew "OH GOD IS THOMPSON HURT? PLEASE NO." Winning changed the record, not the mood.
