   The losses feel less bad when 4 of them have come from undefeated teams

   5PM for a game in Vegas on a Friday? How did that happen?

   Let’s just hope to look competitive tonight, this meat grinder of a beginning schedule is tough but hopefully it’s setting the standard for the level we need to play at for the rest of the season.

   Our lines suck lol.

   Cole Guttman is an absolute beast yet he got pulled off the roster

   AA is getting minutes Kurashev should have

   And come on! Get Reichel on that first line wing. I understand he was challenged to try being a center but clearly he has failed.

   Can’t wait till we play easier teams. By no means are any NHL team ‘easy’, but this start has just been ridiculous tough

   Every tough team we face gets us closer to another top 3 pick so that’s good ig. Is it to early to feel this way?
