Two and a half periods in the books and then.........

The wheels fall off. Or more like throwing a rod through the engine block! Through two and a half periods of play, the Canes were doing what they needed and wanted to do. After a fluky goal, they fell apart. What’s worse is Atlanta was a team that had lost four straight until last night. What is it with Carolina! Boston was on a losing streak and came to the RBC center and put a W in the column. Now Atlanta.

I am a fan and I would really love to see this team do what they did last season but I am also a realist and maybe the better thing for this team is to not make the playoffs so that they can have a nice long summer to rest. This would at least get rid of the “Stanley Cup Hang Over” excuse that was used way to often in the beginning of the season. What will the excuses be if/when Carolina misses the playoffs?

Hey……lets see what they can do against the Forsbergless Flyers tomorrow night. Maybe Tripp Tracey can actually do color instead of pulling a John Madden and spewing his love for Forsberg since he is not longer there!
