For 91 seconds last night the Carolina Hurricanes had the best opportunity to score that the NHL allows against the Los Angeles Kings, and they squandered it while only getting one real chance. It’s a feeling all too familiar for the Hurricanes who have now only scored four goals total over their past four games. There can no longer be an excuse of running into a hot goalie; it’s painfully obvious the issue isn’t the opposing goaltender, it’s the Hurricanes themselves.
Thanks to a lack of raw talent, ineffective coaching, and a key defensive breakdown, the worst team in the Western Conference walked away with two points last night while the Hurricanes got zero.
