I think this is the first regulation loss. The last 2 came on the SO right?????

Yep. Not too shabby. I thought overall the effort was good last night. I do not buy the tired angle (and to his credit Higgins refused to entertain the concept in a post game interview). Cripes we are only 6 games in. If the team is tired already it is going to be a very long season. What will happen in the playoffs where you play every second night and teh hcokeyt is much more physical?

Chicago is a much better team than last year and the Boulin wall had a rare good game. But all in all I felt the team worked hard and performed well. Surprisingly I find myself much more comfortable (and I think the team does too) with Abby in net. I thought that Komi and Souray played very well and the Higgins line was solid. The second line looked a bit disinterested. But not a bad road game all in all.
