Earlier in the day while the NM SPW fan fiction department was drooling over a for sure four game win streak, Coach Green was busy lowering expectations.
That’s the Nuck ethos at work. At cross purposes. Fans feeling a streak running right through the hockey-sauced South and the coach trying to keep the media righted on the good ship 500 hockey.
Both sides of ethos were almost correct. It’s like a compromise. In sports it’s called a tie. In the NHL, it’s called OT.
And tonight we’re calling it a road check point that we had no business getting.
