Perhaps it wasn’t the decade of losing or how they lost that led to frustration but rather the success that proceeded it. Expectations for this fan-base in the early 2000’s were extremely high thanks to multiple memorable playoff moments.
As the current Carolina Hurricanes look to build their own playoff memories, it’s a good time to look back and remember what got us to this point. Why are so many people so positive about a 2-1 deficit against the Washington Capitals? Well, history tell us that this is nothing new for Carolina.
The fan base never forgot about it either.
