When Do You Hit The Panic Button?

With the Blackhawks ditching Denis Savard just a handful of games into the season, it looks like teams are already freaking out about slow starts. There’s the old axiom that you can’t win the Stanley Cup in the first few weeks of the season but you sure can lose it.
I think that depends on your point of view and the context of the wins or losses. If you’re .500 a few weeks into the season but winning on lucky bounces and miraculous goaltending, there are reasons for worry. If you’re .500 because of injuries or bad breaks, it’s probably less of a concern.
