A brutal eastern road trip opens in the windy city at dinner time. Did we know that our tender young Orcas would be on the menu?
No. We expected our tough, battle-hardened road Nucks to start with a jump and finish with a leap (up the standings).
And that’s exactly what happened. For the home team. Can only assume each team’s pre-game notes were mixed up.
Or maybe the Nucks, having battled back against the Blues and matched them last game, have nothing left to prove this late in the season.
Or... maybe the issue isn’t with the team, but the NM game thread, which claims only to be passive observers of the game - yet peppers the thread with gifs and groans.
