Game of
the Night
The Carolina Hurricanes were once again
the victim of a 3-goal comeback by their opponent. They began the 2nd
half of the game up 3-0 on the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena. Bo Horvat
began digging the Canucks out of their 3-goal hole when he put them on the
board at 12:03 of the 2nd period.
This allowed Vancouver to settle down
enough to re-strategize on the bench. The goal also instilled some doubt in the
psyche of the Hurricanes. The Canucks evened the score with 5:50 remaining in
regulation. Brandon Sutter would once again be the hero for Vancouver, as he
scored the game-winning goal just 32 seconds into the 3-on-3 overtime period.
The Hurricanes must now learn and grow
through their early-season adversity. Holding onto their big leads will be key
to improving their performance and boosting their confidence. Vancouver
meanwhile has surprised many by starting the season with a perfect 2-0-0 record
thus far. Many people didn’t expect them to hit a stride right out of the gate,
but that’s just what they’ve done. Right now, it appears things are on the up
and up in the city of Vancouver.
