Man what a difference an All-Star break can make for a team. Before the time off, the Carolina Hurricanes finished off a five-game losing streak to the L. A. Kings. Things didn’t look good for the Hurricanes with regards to their playoff chances as the team dropped into a five-way tie for the bottom of the Eastern conference. But with the time off, Bill Peters and his staff went to work on helping the team improve and it showed immediately in their first game back against the Flyers. The Hurricanes dominated with a 5-1 win in what I termed a must win for the team if they wanted to keep their playoff chances alive.
