Preview:

We will credit Victor Hedman with the first official “We’ve got better in us” quote of the 2022-23 season. A common refrain from coach Jon Cooper over the past two years, it’s the team’s way of saying that they just didn’t play up to the level they expect in the season-opening loss to the New York Rangers. Coach Cooper echoed those words when he told reporters, “We didn’t execute, didn’t make the plays we needed,” following the 3-1 defeat.
