The Half Healthy Hurricanes Spot the Ottawa Senators 2 Goals and Still Keep Pace. But Lose in the End
My view from 8 rows up from the Ice Last night:
It wasn’t a win, but I was impressed with the Hurricanes Last night.
They went down 2 goals early and battled back right away to keep the gaming close. Staal scored a goal that was amazing I hope there are some replays of it out there… I tried to record the game but it was blacked out…The channel ended up having some crappy college basketball game on instead.
To put this in perspective: The Hurricanes are playing without key members of the team. Brind’Amour, Wesley, Wallin, Whitney, just to name a few. Yet they still managed to keep up with highly skilled Ottawa team. Brindy’s loss was felt heavily on special teams on Power play and Penalty Kill.
Impressive to the Fan last night were:
Cole: As usual gritty play hard work got himself 2 assists
Staal:The Canes have never had a superstar like Staal is going to be aside from Francis
Craig Adams: A surprise but this guy played his ass off with Staal and Cole last night and was rewarded with a goal and he laid some hits on out there.
Matt Cullen: Hustle He seemed to be all over the ice.
Stillman:He scored a goal
A complete recap of the game is here.
This is just a bump canes fans. Another tough game on Friday night against the Leafs. Do Canadians celebrate thanksgiving?
Look for GameDay Preview Friday.
