And I'm not saying they're going to be fine. But 2-2-1 with that travel schedule, is not a bad outcome through 5 games. The Calgary game was ugly. The inability to finish last night was mind-blowingly aggravating. But the process is there, as shown by Sparhawk's post. And if it's there with the schedule they've had, that gives me enough hope to wait a few more games to see what this team is under normal scheduling.
The key to me, and I think AV sees it this way too, is that they don't get too down on themselves after a pretty poor road trip based on the results. In his post game last night, AV basically said he had no issues with the game they played, just got a little unlucky. If they keep playing like that they'll be fine. And I agree. They just need to keep playing like they did in the first 30 minutes and not completely collapse when they get frustrated, like they did at the end of the 2nd.
