For the first time ever, the Carolina Hurricanes have lost a game seven.
The Canes got completely outplayed by the New York Rangers in PNC Arena Monday night, falling 6-2 as the Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals while the Hurricanes’ season came to an end with their first home loss of these playoffs.
From start to finish, it was a pitiful game seven effort from the Hurricanes. New York scored twice in the first eight minutes, both on the power play, while the Hurricanes couldn’t muster anything with an early man advantage to set the tone for the night.
