The Carolina Hurricanes gave the Caniacs that have been aching to see them back in the postseason, a performance these fans will never forget. North Carolina needed this for hockey and the Hurricanes were out to prove they belong in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
After dropping the first two in Washington D.C., the Hurricanes put their mark on this series. They did so in the most dominating and exciting of ways.
This game can be a defining moment for a potential playoff run. Shutting out the defending Stanley Cup champion is one thing, but controlling almost the entire game is on a whole different level.
