Was talking to my dad, and he predicted they'd lose the first 5 even before they started playing the regular season. New coaching staff, top guys coming in rusty and missing camp, last minute acquisition, "clunky" training camp all around. I think he may be right. Could take this week still to work out the early bugs. Definitely won't mean that the season won't be salvageable, though.
It made me feel a ton better as a fan to see Johnson only allow one last night. Really needed a goalie performance to get rid of those nightmares of last season.
