The Carolina Hurricanes started the year as bad as one could dream of. Carolina's third win of the season came Sunday beating a challenging Minnesota Wild team. The Canes' third win puts them one point behind second to last place Toronto Maple Leafs. I see good things coming from Carolina, Eric Staal has started off slow and he has as much offensive talent as anybody, and Cam Ward is on injured reserve due to a freak leg injury involving Blue Jackets LW Rick Nash, where Ward's leg was cut with his skate.
Although they have some problems in net, look at the Eastern Conference standings, the top six teams are not going anywhere, but Atlanta, NY Islanders, Tampa Bay, Boston, Ottawa, Montreal, Florida and Toronto stand in front of Carolina. These teams are not showing any signs of generating a push right now, except for the Islanders. Look for Carolina to start to string some wins together and gain some ground on the east standings.
