With eight games under their belt the Carolina Hurricanes are, well, about where the pundits said they would be. A record of 2 - 6 brings to mind the necessary Dennis Green paraphrase, "They are who we thought they were" (sure, out of context maybe, but still appropriate). Most agreed that this team's scoring was going to have to come from a variety of "iffy" sources. So far those wells have proven to be mostly dry holes. The defense, also mostly considered a work in progress, had to switch gears beginning at the outset of Game 1, with James Wisniewski's season-ending injury.
