For those who stayed up to see the Canes’ back-to-back games in Phoenix and Vegas, you probably weren’t blown away by what you saw.
Is it cool to come back from a 3-0 deficit to force overtime? Sure, but not when you watched how the Canes give up those three goals in close succession in the first period. Is Marc-Andre Fleury a great NHL goalie who is fourth in NHL history in shutouts? Yeah, congrats, but we didn’t do much to try to stop that historic mark.
After starting the year 4-0-1, Carolina is 2-6-1 in its past 9 games.
