Isn’t the common logic that the team that played the night before will come out hot but lose has by the end?

I have always heard it as: they start out tired but as they get into the game it comes back? Let's hope I'm right!

(tbh, I feel like mine makes more sense although I can also see fatigue coming back in at the end if the game is super fast and hard fought). Maybe a "both are true" thing again?

Wow, the out of town scoreboard is, for once, not the worst (so far)

Isles down 3-1 to Chicago
PNES down 4-1 to Avs
Habs down 2-1 to Canes
Beej down 1-0 to Flyers

(Strong feeling that Habs and Beej at least get a point out of their games, but hey, good start)

Sounds a bit silly up 3-1 but expect DET to have a huge 3rd and they've had a bunch of dangerous chances: gotta get a point here tonight

that's NOT a penalty, he hit the puck and the guy tripped on the follow through...
