I think it was some absurd length into the season (like 10 games?) before we scored a goal either first or in the first period (I don't remember - might check boxscores to figure that out).

We were not good to start the season. We were talented enough to pull out some wins, but we weren't doing it by looking good. Our possession #s early in the year were bad to awful, and we were riding Stamkos, Kucherov, and (lol) Killorn's hot scoring to some wins.

I believe we were in the same boat last season, but in reverse. Get off to a quick start but allow comebacks.

4 goal Vasy?

Seems to be a common number of GA's when he's in net.

And yeah, we had a decent record but the level of play was complete crap, the Florida game where we got beat the entire game but came back in the final minute and win is a perfect example of how they were playing.

Just lazy hockey. And besides 9-6-1 or whatever is a pretty bad start given the talent level.
