Saturday night’s ugly 6-0 drubbing has pushed Carolina to the brink of elimination. Coach Rod Brind’Amour aptly summarized his team’s performance in his postgame press conference, “We were bad from start to finish, really. It’s tough to pick out a guy that I thought had a good game.”
Rather than reliving one of the half dozen goals against, let’s take a look at a few of the missed opportunities on two of the five failed Hurricanes’ power plays. Down by just a goal, the Canes took the ice on the man advantage after Evgeny Kuznetsov high-sticking and John Carlson goaltender interference minors, respectively.
