Preseason hockey is very rarely pretty to look at, but after months of being deprived of the greatest sport on Earth, last night’s game was a breath of fresh air for the Carolina Hurricanes.
Despite having issues with the stream, we were able to see most of the 1st period, most of the 2nd period, and the entirety of the 3rd period with no interruptions. Tampa Bay’s announcers were lacking in the enthusiasm department, and seemed to be ‘phoning it in’ at times, but that comes with the territory in the preseason.
To start things off, James Reimer played the entirety of the 1st period, stopping all eight shots Tampa Bay threw on goal.
