Last week, I referred to the start of Rod Brind’Amour tenure as bench boss for the Carolina Hurricanes as a “rollercoaster.”
That’s still the case as the Canes prepare to close out the October portion of their schedule tonight against the Boston Bruins.
You’ll have a tough time being disappointed in the 6-4-1 start to the new year. Through 11 games, Carolina is in a playoff spot and on pace for a 97-point season which is right around the magic number that they will need to earn their first postseason berth since 2009.
