Who remembers watching the first few games of this season, where the young, upstart Carolina Hurricanes seemed ready to take the league by storm for a period or two before monumentally imploding?
Yeah, this kind of felt like that.
The Canes went up 2-0 in the first period, but were overwhelmed for the rest of the game. And worst of all, they looked like the Canes who started on that road trip. You know, the one that was still “searching for their identity.” That identity was found during their five-game winning streak, but now seems to have hidden itself away again.
