“Unacceptable” and “disappointing” were the words used often by Bill Peters in his post game press conference yesterday afternoon. Yet somehow those words just don’t seem to do enough justice for what is happening, nor what has been building up to this moment, inside PNC Arena’s walls.
Give the San Jose Sharks credit; they showed up to play and they deservedly walked away with a 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. But the narrative here is not about how the Sharks outplayed the Canes. The true story here is that the Canes once again did not show up to play hockey even though they are paid outrageous amounts of money to do so.
