So far there’s been three things that have stood out to me of why the hurricanes are playing well. Something that they have not got in any other rounds in previous years. They’ve been able to get that clutch goal scoring when they need it, goaltending, and the depth. All three are really pushing the canes.

Why would Morrow play over Nikki?

Why would Morrow play over Nikki?

He's been around a little longer, knows our system a little better than I think Niki (Nikishin) does and he played well when he came up [during the regular season]," said the Canes' coach. "There's a righty-lefty [factor] that does matter, a little bit. Those little things help, and I think he's earned the right to have a shot, so we'll see."

 

That's Brindamour's answer to that question.
