Yeah, I generally don't care about wins and losses in the AHL because there are so many different factors at play, but it's especially meaningless today. This is the first real game most of these players have played in almost a year, against a team who has already played 4.
Getting lit up in your first pro game seems to be a rite of passage for goalies, and most don't have the excuse of not having played a game in nearly a year.
What matters most is how the players respond to this.
