Well, that was … a lot. For two periods, things looked great for the Hurricanes in game four of their first-round series against the Boston Bruins. The Canes carried a 2-0 lead into the third period, and then everything went to hell in a handbasket, as the saying goes.
Or, as Rod Brind’Amour put it, everything that possibly could go wrong did. Boston scored four unanswered goals in under seven minutes. The Bruins outshot the Canes 16-2 in the final frame, with Carolina not recording its first shot until Teuvo Teravainen made it 4-3 with 1:27 to play.
