Another Disappointing Opener

[jacobcarson877 2,529]

I think it’s time to ask if something is wrong with the Calgary Wranglers. They’ve proven time and time again that they can dominate in the regular season with an exciting mix of dynamic offense and bone-crushing physicality. They continue to bring in new and exciting supporting talent, and their stars continue to contend for awards. Their goaltending was perfectly acceptable during the regular season. While certainly not their point of strength, it was never something of a concern.

 

That is until the playoffs.

 

In a 7 game series, goaltending can single-handedly win you games. And it doesn’t take many games to win a series. By no means has it been the fault of Ben Dahl that the Wranglers are down 3-1 in their opening series against Vancouver, nor their opening series in S84 or S85. But when the other team’s goaltender is stealing 1 or 2 games a series and yours isn’t, it can easily feel like a change in net could be the answer.

 

By no means is this series over, and the offense is ready to push up those shot totals once more, but another opening round loss would be devastating for the team, especially after this monumental regular season. Unfortunately we will have to wait until Tuesday to find out how long this series is going, and it will be an anxious few days of waiting for the team.

"Another Disappointing Opener" is usually the feedback I get on Tinder too. Wranglers are not alone.
