This wasn’t the result we expected. Not the game we expected. The game we expected was postponed.
Ok, fine. The result wasn’t that unexpected. But some... or just Kent thought it could have been averted. In his prescient preview, Kent suggested:
it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give Jaroslav Halak the start tonight. He’s been outstanding against the Panthers in his career, with a 13-5-2 record, and an impressive stat line, with a .926 SV% and a 2.36 GAA.
That .926 is better than the DJ Demmer’s .808. Not his best game.
