[Cali Panthers Fan]

Two days off to regroup. Use it well.

Next game is against the Panthers, who are dealing with similar underperformance problems. However, because of the recent shootout loss and the connection with key players coming home, I would expect a strong effort from them.

After that is the Canadiens. See above for players coming home. An easier team to play overall, but not a gimme.

Then the Caps come to town. Kuemper has the Flames' number, so I don't have great hopes if he plays.

We might not got a lot of points in the next few games either. I sincerely hope that there's something that pulls this team together, because they don't seem to be playing that hard for one another.

That's the thing that Darryl got the group to do last year, but it's missing for some reason now. Find camaraderie and purpose and this team will do good things.

Or not, and that's fine too. Good year to get a higher draft pick if that's the way things work out. I'll find the positive in anything that isn't "the team is moving".
