I don't see much anger. There just isn't much to get angry about. We knew this was going to be a Sutter team and most games would be a race to three goals. That has come to fruition. That is likely to playout all year. It's a Sutter thing. People are okay with that.

I think if there is anything making people upset it is the constant reference to the sudden turnaround, promised by advanced stats, that suggests the team deserved a better fate, and discounting the comments and observations of so many posters, when the outcomes were extremely predictable. It isn't like we haven't seen this script play out year-after-year-after-year with this team. There is nothing to get angry about when the team plays down to the level expected. It's disappointing, and worthy of comment, but I don't see anyone angry over this. Most are resigned to the outcomes because those outcomes are so predictable.
