Edmonton lost its seventh game in a row, 5-3, to Colorado. This losing streak sucks, as they started the season off pretty good and they looked good in the preseason. Markkanen, who played in net now that Conklin has been sent down to Hamilton, finished with 26 saves. I don’t know what is going to stop this streak of bad luck. Maybe if I don’t talk about it, it will not continue or I’ll pretend they are on a winning streak.
Meanwhile cases of the Bird Flu has emerged around the world and Hurricane Wilma is blasting through Central and South America. And all I can think about is hockey.
