You expected goals and you got plenty. As is historically the case, the match-up between the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Islanders was a high scoring affair. Luckily, the Hurricanes were able to FINN-ish the game on top...ok, I’ll stop right there.
But, oh, was there drama before the game.
Victor Rask was listed as a healthy scratch after his poor play over the past few ga—wait, the whole season, really. Bill Peters wanted to send a message to his struggling Swedish forward, banishing him to the press box.
This slump has remained consistent since the second half of last season.
