The Carolina Hurricanes are on a three-game losing streak and nerves are beginning to set in with the club and fans. Losing is never fun but this team is far from being in panic mode.
Rod Brind’Amour has sounded more and more frustrated at the results during his post-game press conferences. He has yet to deal with many failures as a coach or player.
Injuries are no excuse but the Hurricanes have gone through a string of difficult injuries of late.
In the salary cap era, no team that has aspirations of making a deep run in the playoffs can have huge cap relief.
