Well, this is a breath of fresh air. The Carolina Hurricanes, for the first time since the fateful Toronto Maple Leafs/David Ayres affair, have won a hockey game.
They did relinquish a point to the New York Islanders, so there’s that. But, all things consider, a win is a win. The Carolina Hurricanes are still far off from a playoff spot, and still have a long road ahead as they navigate the gauntlet of Metropolitan Division games in the coming days and weeks.
Today’s game was pretty rough-and-tumble, as games between the Canes and Islanders usually are.
