First, I want to wish a speedy recovery to Joni Pitkanen. This was an unnecessary injury due to a dumb icing rule - please NHL, go to no touch icing.
Second, congrats to Jiri Tlusty on his first career hat trick. It is well deserved as he is one of the very few bright spots on the Hurricanes season.
Third, I think it is time for a new GM in Carolina. I know this won't happen but I am tired of a front office that doesn't value defense. The Hurricanes have had an underwhelming defense for the last several years with no sign of change. I like the pieces in place for offense but until we have a D the forwards can trust they can't play their game. Spend more money and get a big #1 defenseman, please.
Fourth, tonight was the worst officiated game I have ever seen in person. The linesman took forever to drop the puck and kicked way too many people out of the faceoff circle from both teams. Then, there was the 3rd period where the Capitals were on the PK and iced the puck (which is what you are supposed to do) and one linesman whistled it for icing...just terrible.
