It was another up and down season for the fans, players, and coaching staff of the Carolina Hurricanes, in 2017-18. The Canes missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the ninth consecutive season, the longest active streak in the NHL. The fans in Raleigh, NC, are ready for more success in the coming regular season.
How the Canes fare in 2018-19 falls directly on how the players on the blue line perform after a very questionable outing in 2017-18. This is a very young group of defenders for the Canes, and that could pay dividends in the future, but that’s yet to be seen of late.
