That’s actually not what I was saying at all.
If they had lost two in a row to Ottawa, I would get the anger. But there’s no shame in losing to a good team. Good teams lose to good teams, it happens every day. Winning night in and night out has never been tougher and the margin of victory is paper thin.
Good teams lose two in a row, elite teams lose two in a row. The white flag waving and coach hollering after five games just seems so premature to me. There are 51 games left!!! There will be ups and downs.
