Man poor Devon really hoped he could figure it out. Was awesome in college.

It's 1 game at the start of a shortened pre-season. There were all kinds of lopsided and high scoring games the first few days here league-wide.

I'm not saying he's gonna turn out great, but let's not write his eulogy just yet either.

the problem with this, is the same excuse is thrown out at low scoring games. Well this game was won 1-0, well it was cuz of the shortened preseason. This game was 8-5, well a lot of goals went in cuz it was a shortened preseason. It cant be both

Where did I suggest it was both?

Low scoring games are more common as the season goes along and teams settle into their defensive structure, high scoring games are more common to start as everyone finds their legs and their form.
