The Carolina Hurricanes wrapped up the southeast division championshp last night with a 3-2 win over the streaking Florida Panthers. The Panthers, who had beaten the Canes twice in Florida a few weeks ago had won 7 games in a row.
It looked at first like we were gonna get more of the same - Florida scored first and early. The Canes continued to be somewhat sloppy with the puck but Martin Gerber did the job keeping most of the pucks out of the net.
Craig Adams goal was one of the coolest I've seen all year - mostly because it involved just downright embarassing Roberto Luongo. Adams had a breakaway rush on Luongo but it looked like Luongo was going to get to the puck before Adams could get to it and shoot it. Well, he did, but Luongo does have a weakness, and that's playing the puck. Luango went to backhand the puck harmlessly to the corner, and he basically whiffed on it, leaving the puck there for Craig to fire into the net. It was awesome.
Carolina plays tonight at Atlanta - another team on the outside of the playoffs looking in.
GO CANES!
