Jordan Staal sat in his locker looking shell-shocked. Again.
The Carolina Hurricanes had just been blown out for the second straight night -- a rarity in itself -- but by the same team, no less: the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.

"We got beat in every facet," Staal said following the 6-0 drubbing last month. "Not a whole lot of positives out of any of it."
Even less so when the outcome just 24 hours earlier -- a 6-3 defeat for the Hurricanes -- had prompted Staal to point out the Panthers "don't give you anything -- it's always a battle against that team.
