There are reasons to think that things are falling apart for the Carolina Hurricanes.
At the 54-game mark, they are on the wrong side of the playoff cut line, they have dished out three consecutive efforts that have ranged from questionable to unacceptable, and their troubled offense has reached a low-point as they haven’t hit the magic number of three goals in any of their last five games and have done so just twice in their last ten games.
With relentless disappointment comes blame, but who’s to blame for Carolina’s offensive ineptitude? Furthermore; who’s to blame for their apparent lack of desperation in the midst of a legitimate playoff push?
