This 4 game road trip has been one of the longest of the year. Time is funny like that. When the injuries, poor play and general Olympic malaise infects the team and grumpy fans. Would this have been a good year for the NHL to NOT skip the Olympics? Yes, yes it would.
But, no, Gary B. wanted us to witness a mini-injury-streak within a mini [redacted] streak. So, instead of watching Canada’s best players play the best game in the world at 2AM, we get a Sunday afternoon game in Dallas. Insult meet injury.
That’s a lot of meet and greet.
