6 goals enough to beat the Carolina Hurricanes?? HELL NO!

Posted by admin in Carolina Hurricanes Commentary

carolina hurricanes

8 goals tonight by the Carolina Hurricanes. 5 GOALS in the 3rd Period!!!!!!

I know my prediciton was wrong but hey I’m Happy to be half right tonight . I have to admit I wouldn’t have predicted an 8-6 victory… but who would?

What a game. It looked like Staal got a Hat Trick tonight but it did not get officially scored that way. We will see how that plays out tommorow. I can’t wait until tommorow’s game. Another certain victory over the once great Pens captained by Super Mario.

This is a team that fights every minute of every game.

I believe this is the 3rd come back victory in a row and this is the 5th home game victory in a row. A new record.

The beggining of this homestand saw a lot of people speculating on losses since the Hurricanes were playing Ottawa (previously undefeated), Boston (tough team) and the hated Flyers (star packed tough team). Surprise ! The Carolina Hurricanes win all 3.

I hope to have some pics and video here tommorow. It is a sweet victory. Those that have been following hockey here know that the hated Flyers games are always intense… 8 goals tonight by the Hurricanes…. WOW!

I do not think this team has ever been this much fun to watch. Keep it Canes.

Primeau we still hate you.
