Just 15 days ago the Carolina Hurricanes entered Verizon Center in need of a big win versus the league-best Capitals. It was shortly after the presidential inauguration, tension was high in DC, and the Hurricanes seemed more interested in the sightseeing than they were in playing hockey.
Fast forward to last night: tensions are certainly still high in our nation’s capital, and the Hurricanes failed to show up for their scheduled hockey game in DC once again.
The Canes lost 5-0 to the best team in the league last night. The special teams failed, a backup goalie struggled for the Hurricanes, and there is nothing positive to take away from this trip to DC just as it was a few weeks ago.
