And Andrej Nestrasil scores in his first game as a Hurricane!!!

Nestrasil (1) from Nash (11) and Gleason (3)

3-1 Canes

I bet Detriot is upset to see Nestrasil off to a great start here.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

And it's 3-2 Canes.

And the Canes give up the big lead and are literally hanging on for dear life.

Canes look like they are being coached by Fox.  They haven't spent hardly any time in the offensive zone since the 1st...and haven't drawn a single penalty.  Can't believe they haven't had a single PP all game.

[Mother Grabber]

only one team is playing this game like they want to win.

[Mother Grabber]

that's what you get playing for a point.  how lame.  Cam played a hell of a game tonight, and the rest of the team didn't give any effort after the 1st.  Now we get a big, fat donut.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

And the collapse is now complete.

Canes lose 4-3.

[Mother Grabber]

gave up 16 shots in one period.  wow.

[Mother Grabber]

very disappointing loss.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Disappointing is an understatement.
