Phoenix finished 4th last year in the league, against a team missing its best setup man and a rookie goalie in net, real shocked at the outcome there.

San Jose and Columbus previous game was fairly close, considering the talent on San Jose vastly outnumbers that on Columbus, so a bit unexpected but not really shocking.

However again, a team not even expected to win, manages to shutout their opponents and score four goals on one of the best goalies in the league.

Clearly that is not an accomplishment at all.

Clearly you have no fucking idea what you are talking about.
Last year and last year. Thank you for making my point for me.

New season. One game. And you are acting like the Oilers just beat the 1972 Soviet All Star Team. (oh god! an American that knows about the summit series! what a world!) Good game? Sure. Good win to have with that young team? Of course. But stop trying to make it out to be more than it is: 1 win in a 82 game season.
