The Carolina Hurricanes were not ready to play hockey last night.
Last night’s matchup could’ve seen the Canes sweep the Tampa Bay Lightning in the regular season, but fate had a different plan for the two teams.
The Tampa Bay Lightning outclassed and outplayed the Carolina Hurricanes last night at basically every possible turn. Goaltending? Andrei Vasilevskiy was incredible. Scoring? Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point, and Mitchell Stephens took the cake. Defense? Mikhail Sergachev and Kevin Shattenkirk were incredibly stout.
The Carolina Hurricanes played some of the most uninspired, disappointing hockey we have seen thus far in the 2019-20 season.
