Canadiens to Hurricanes: You suck.
That is pretty much the message that was sent to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night in the 6-1 stomping.
The crowd was loud, the canes played hard and scored it was amazing…. then the 1st minute was over. I should have left.
I have been looking thru all the articles about the game and some are blaming Gerber, especially the local writers.
The Hurricanes had a lot of PowerPlay opportunites and did not score, including a 5 on 3 for a full minute. They went O fer 5 on all the Power Play Chances… Gerber didn’t have much to do with that. The game I went to showed the the Hurricanes were confused and outplayed.
Montreal, on the other hand, played as I would expect a team in the Stanley Cup Playoffs to play… the Hurricanes played much how they did the last quarter of the season… without much heart. Their Goalie, Huet stopped 43 shots..A playoff like performance.
I have full confidence that the Coach will turn things around and we will see a victory on Monday night, and I guess hey this also means we can win the round here at home in game 5.
Go Canes.
