It would be one thing if the issues plaguing the Carolina Hurricanes were relatively new. They are not.
Again, the goaltending does the team no favors. Again, the team does the goaltenders no favors. Again, the Hurricanes get embarrassed on home ice on a night where they “just didn’t have it.” Give the Vegas Golden Knights credit for continuing to defy the odds with another sterling performance, sure, but this one’s on the Canes and their remarkable devotion to inconsistency.
Particularly after Saturday night’s impressive victory in Detroit, this loss stings. Much hope of the team having recuperated during the bye week seems to have faded, as the usual storylines continue to tail the team through another rough January.
