Second preseason game in Montreal! 7 P.M. @ the Bell Centre!
LGD!!!!
It's practice, but even if the squad is missing players it would be nice to get a win.
On paper this is the weakest preseason opponent...
are bill and dano even calling this one? thought it was just the montreal feed on this one
not to be too dramatic, but a loss here would be pretty devastating. we absolutely cannot start the preseason 0-2, that would set the tone for a pretty rotten season.
looking at the statistics for teams that have started off 0-2 in the preseason (going back to the 1971-72 season) we can see a troubling trend- of the 671 teams that went 0-2 to start the preseason in that time frame, just 112 went on the make the playoffs. and i'll remind you that if we miss the playoffs, we likely see a GM change before next season. add in a couple of more 0-2 preseason starts in the coming years, and we're suddenly facing the possibility of relocation.
we can't be giving up on games this early, or it will come back to bite us down the line. the road to the playoffs starts tonight. LGD
