A loss that ends a five-game winning streak is hardly the end of the world. Yet, the Carolina Hurricanes go into Sunday afternoon's road clash against the Columbus Blue Jackets in a snarky mood.
Losing isn't acceptable when, in your opinion, you don't give yourself a chance to win a game, which is what the Hurricanes felt after a 6-4 road loss at the hands of the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.
After opening the scoring 75 seconds into the clash, the Hurricanes surrendered not just one, not two but three power-play goals to the Blackhawks in the first period alone en route to the maddening defeat.
