The results almost do not matter. In fact, a sizable portion of the fans hereabouts would prefer losses to wins at this point.
But not the team. They have played hard, and that is a credit to the coaches and leaders on the team. Guys like the captain and his identical twin simply will not allow it, as was evidenced by Henrik's comments about how Jake Virtanen has to play as their new linemate tonight.
So, we have the hype and excitement of Nikita Tryamkin ( pronounced Tram-Kin, the Y is silent ), and the promise from the team to be active in the various free agent frenzies that are coming, starting, I think, with the NCAA "free agents" being able to sign with NHL teams.
