It’s November 8, and the Carolina Hurricanes find themselves at 5-5-3, equidistant from the bottom of the Eastern Conference and the second Wild Card spot.
Where do they go from here?
If you’re looking for signs of hope, look no further than Tuesday night, where the Hurricanes downed the Florida Panthers on home ice and had one of their best sixty-minute efforts of the season, and certainly their best first period at PNC Arena.
If you’re looking for signs of this ship sinking very quickly, the effort in Colorado on Thursday might be more your style.
