    night’s 4-2 win over the sinking Vancouver Canucks in Brooklyn. To add to the good vibes was Jason Chimera and Andrew Ladd finally getting off the snide and scoring their first goals of the 2016-17 campaign, a campaign that last week looked to match the drama and unrest of the presidential one unfolding before a divided and confused nation that hopefully comes to an end today.
