I didn't actually throw a hat when Eric Staal scored his third goal of the night. I wasn't wearing one. But a lot of people DID throw their hats. Erik Cole owes every one of those people a new hat!
And he owes Eric Staal a steak dinner or something.
I think it's ironic that last Friday, Staal got a hat trick that the crowd didn't get to celebrate, and last night, the crowd celebrated a hat trick that Staal didn't get.
If you didn't see it, there was a breakaway, with Cole driving towards an empty net. HE WAS HOOKED, and then he was called for diving. In the process, he passed the puck to Staal who put the puck in the net. The horn blew. The refs didn't immediately wave off the goal. In fact it was a good 2-3 minutes before we realized that there was no goal.
Cole has a reputation for diving, and he may have done so last night. But he *WAS* hooked, and there should have been a call against Toronto as well for the hook which led to the dive.
Well, Staal continues to impress, and the Canes continue to win.
Next up, the Hurricanes host the Florida Panthers at home on Saturday.
GO CANES!
