It is astonishing to think that 9 days ago, the home opener against the Montreal Canadiens was the buzz. Now, the Hurricanes have went through three thrillers of games that went to extra time and two comfortable wins this week.
The game yesterday against the New York Islanders could’ve been a trap. The Islanders have been struggling and the Hurricanes have been rolling, that’s usually when a bad team beats a good team because of desperation and eagerness to get back into competition in the division.
With a team under Rod Brind’Amour, we can probably expect no cockiness from the Hurricanes.
