Four in a row

But can they make it five? The Carolina Hurricanes have their longest winning streak of the season which is four games. Last season, the Canes had two different winning streaks of nine games, this season just one lowly streak of four.
The Canes again are a man down as Tim Gleason is now out for at least four weeks with a broken foot he suffered on the penalty kill. So now with still no Frank, no Wallin, and now no Gleason and Carolina’s defense is looking like Swiss cheese. The Canes have just starting playing good defense. No offence to the defenders like Commodore, Babchuck or Wesley, but missing the others sure will take some toll on the team.
Offensively, Willie sure is making a mark on the official scorers sheet every game. I just wonder what happened to Staal and Cole from one night to the next. Friday night when the Canes took the Islanders by storm, Staal and Cole were on fire with their speed and all around play, Saturday night was an entirely different story with Cole getting the garbage goal to give the Canes a much needed win.
And then there is the goaltending. Why do you start Johnny Grahmme “Cracker” after Wardo has won three straight and the last two of the wins has been a brick wall just allowing two goals both of which were from the defense chasing the same guy around using two defenders. Yes I know that one of the wins came against the lowly Flyer and another was against the Panthers, but the other two wins came against teams that are in the playoff chase at the moment.
Lets just see if they can stretch it to five.
