The Carolina Hurricanes are entering the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs as underdogs after a difficult regular season, and that is exactly where they need to be.
The Carolina Hurricanes find themselves overcoming regular season struggles again after making the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 2002. The Canes are playoff underdogs again, and I find this position perfect for the Bunch of Jerks.
While this season is culminating in a playoff run for the Canes, it was not a pretty ride. Dougie Hamilton, Brett Pesce, and netminders James Reimer and Petr Mrazek suffered injuries.
