I expect us to get our butts WHOOPED tonight.
Turns out I was just a game early with my prediction. That first game without RT, everything went exactly right. But man, o man, have the wheels fallen off the bus after that win in Toronto.

At least last night's game wasn't a total embarrassment. But both goals allowed were on mistakes.

Goal 1, watch how 4 white jerseys just let the Flyer forward dance right on through them. UGH.
Goal 2, Kyrou just forgets the puck skating through the neutral zone. WTF.

Good teams don't do this kind of thing EVERY GAME.

This season feels cursed. First Thomas breaks his ankle, and now Broberg just wrecked his knee. MFer.

An impressive win last night despite losing Broberg. But I still think it's going to be a bumpy ride for several months.

Yeah, everything has looked "not the same" since the Thomas injury. And now Broberg.

4-6 weeks for Broberg and no surgery.

That’s honestly awesome considering how it looked

So he and Thomas shouldn’t be far off from each other returning

If we can weather the storm for 20 games and play around .500? We may be ok

With Broberg out, P.O. Joseph takes his spot as Faulk's partner. Perunovich gets another chance, but I bet he doesn't see much ice time.

Holloway stretchered off. Took a puck in the neck/collarbone area, finished his shift, and then the trainers were holding his head still waiting for the stretcher. UGH

He’s on the way to the hospital in an ambulance they said

It sounds like the Blues phoned in the third period last night to get blown out by the Capitals. That low-effort [expletive] happened a lot last season, too. They'd better get their asses in gear because they're not the most talented team on the ice most nights, and Thomas and Broberg aren't coming back for a couple of months.
