WOW! They’re back! On the rails to 500 road trip hockey. Admit it. We knew this trip would be rough. Rougher than the cost of a day pass at Disneyland. In San Jose we learned the meaning of two final minutes of futility. And those were the easy Cali games.
Playing LA in LA was the one we marked on our road trip danger maps with a big ugly X. The mood in the gamethread was initially tentative. Playing the 2nd best team in the west who were looking for some easy pickings on the Nucks stat-tragical PP, if not the piddly PK.
