What a game that was. If the Carolina Hurricanes had played every game of the season like that this team would have 100+ points already and all be labeled gods of hockey. The tenacity, speed, physicality and effort of the team were all operating at 100% last night, and the result reflected that by the time 60 minutes were done.
It was done quickly, with very few opportunities for TV timeouts or to clear the ice of snow. This game was played at breakneck pace. The Penguins were having a difficult time focusing and maintaining control of the puck, while the Carolina Hurricanes seemed to be in full control of the game almost all of the time.
