In all honesty, who would have ever guessed the Carolina Hurricanes, with four rookie skaters, a rookie head coach, and a beyond questionable goaltending situation, would be atop the NHL standings after four games?
There is not a soul anywhere that saw this coming. That is not to say it couldn’t have ever happened, but the odds were so slim that it makes what the Hurricanes are doing that much more impressive.
Last night was yet again not a ‘pretty’ win, but they got the job done in the end. While the Vancouver Canucks are not exactly Stanley Cup contenders, they put up a good fight and finding a way to come away with a victory showed us once again the perseverance and determination this team has.
