This past weekend was supposed to be a very special one in Raleigh. New ownership welcomed in on Friday giving us all goosebumps as he preached success was more important than money. A major divisional game with a chance to send a message by defeating the Capitals two nights in a row. The 7th annual Alumni game with the likes of Tim Gleason and Bryan Bickell. Then a Sunday matinee against a hot Calgary Flames team on Teacher Appreciation day.
But after all of the hype and fun that centered around early Friday, the weekend will go down, at least on the ice, as downright depressing.
