Hurricanes Rally, Nip Penguins in OT

Life has intervened, not in a bad way, that will prevent me from writing a full-blown game summary. But here are a few quicky impressions from last night’s 3-2 overtime loss to Carolina:

• The Penguins brilliant play from the night before carried over for about 13:53. Or the time it took for us to grab an early 2-0 lead on goals by Jake Guentzel and Sidney Crosby. Then the Hurricanes completely took over.
• How bad was it? The ‘Canes attempted 76 shots to our 40, including a staggering 56-25 advantage over the final two periods and overtime. They outshot us 42-24.
• Perhaps the lone bright spot? Casey DeSmith was brilliant. He faced down a staggering 36 scoring chances, including 16 high-danger chances, and made 39 saves. I think we can safely say we don’t need a backup goalie.

That’s all for now, folks.
