Look, it happens.
Preseason is messy. Nobody’s playing their best lineup. In some cases, teams have even split their lineup into two groups, playing two games at the same time.
And sometimes the team playing a split squad game completely destroys the team playing a mostly NHL lineup.
Tonight was a very special night, as the residents of O’Leary PEI, aka Hockeyville, won the incredible privilege of hosting and attending a meaningless 8-1 blowout between the Boring Ottawa Senators and the Boring New Jersey Devils. I’m sure this was entirely worth it and that nobody regrets buying a ticket at all.
