A look back on this past season shows us one of the best years in goaltending for the Carolina Hurricanes. Although lots of pieces clicked, goal-scoring, especially on the powerplay, was an issue that ultimately had the Hurricanes eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals.
With the history of the Carolina Hurricanes, it is easy to eliminate the seasons that the Hurricanes missed the playoffs. When the Hurricanes do manage to punch their ticket to the postseason, they usually make very deep runs.
A decade ago, the Hurricanes made the playoffs for the 2008-09 season. They routed the Boston Bruins and the New Jersey Devils in thrilling Game 7s in both series.
