Or you know... teams just have teams they don't do well against. The Blackhawks struggled with the Oilers for a while. Even great teams have their kryptonite. Yes, we're still rebuilding, but definitely much closer now. The pieces are in place to start moving forward. But it's not going to be instant.
And even if you throw that excuse out, it's ####ing October. Always so many messy games in October and wonky stuff happening. Also we're missing our #2 dman and best puck carrier/zone entry guy. Gio doesn't look the same with Dougie.
I'm gonna wait and see. Not conclude on what this team is/isn't based on 2 2/3 games.
