“I don’t care how we get it. You want the two points.”
Those were the first words Rod Brind’Amour said in his postgame media availability Monday after a 4-3 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers, a game where the Hurricanes were far, far from their best but still got the job done in the end.
It’s a sentiment that rings true for a group playing its third game in four days, and second straight day in the afternoon, which managed to get seven of eight possible points in a really tough stretch.
Monday’s outing wasn’t the best thing we’ve seen from the Hurricanes, but a great team did what great teams are going to have to do from time to time.
