This is going to be a recurring theme until it ends, but it is absolutely insane that this team, after the summer they had, is sitting in first place in the division at any point in the season. Obviously, it is way too early for it to mean anything of substance - it’s just decorum, right now, to acknowledge the standings. And yet, you can’t smack this smile off my face.
Five straight wins, all in the Metro, certainly records an assist in this fan’s happiness.
- Late in the game last night, with the Isles up on the Devils 2-0 and forced to face off in their own end off an icing call, Leo Komarov was called, rightly so, for delay of game when he took his time replacing his broken stick.
