It was the 3rd scheduled loss in a row on the pre-season road trip through hell. The hell of playing the top 3 teams in the east league in their native timezone in their native rinks.
Today with the bonus hell of playing a morning game against a team with the NHL’s best PK. And... uh... the Nucks PP is uh... ranked 20th. So... it wasn’t unexpected they went 0 for 5 on the PP. Frustrating, sure. Unexpected, not really.
Nor was it unexpected the league’s worst PK gave up one first thing in morning in the first.
