If we continue to sputter in the next game, I may raise that to "knitted brow".
I understand people who are totally unconcerned because these games are at the far end of the meaninglessness spectrum. I also understand people who are quite concerned, as I think they have a right to be sensitive about poor starts and poor goaltending.
I'm trying to focus on the fact that the skaters who need to impress seem to be doing so.

Why would the results in Penticton make you feel anything at all? That tournament is a showcase for players who are knocking on the door to the NHL.
This was a split squad game.
Neither matters.
