Welcome to the party, Thomas Dundon.
On the day their long for-sale nightmare finally ended, the Carolina Hurricanes promptly demonstrated how little has changed on the ice, taking a 3-0 first-period lead at the San Jose Sharks late Thursday night only to lose 5-4 in overtime.
The optimism generated by the news that Peter Karmanos would sell a majority interest in the team to Dundon was compounded by the Hurricanes' start last night – including a rare Victor Rask goal – only to be crushed, for the umpteenth time, by a blown lead and a demoralizing loss.
