Carolina Hurricanes: Three Keys to Victory in Toronto vs. Maple Leafs
1. Short-Term Memory
Last night was about as big a dud as you’re going to see this season.
Losing sucks, everybody knows that. Losing has a way of sticking with you, sometimes for days. Especially if that loss was to a team that has traditionally had your number.
Tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes are going to need to shake it off, regroup, and do their best to forget about it and recover their game.
As I said before, the Toronto Maple Leafs are coming off of two days of rest after shutting out one of the better teams in the Metropolitan Division, and even the Eastern Conference in the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Honestly, anything can happen on any given night. The best thing to do is wash your hands of last night’s performance, and do your best to put it behind you to face the opponent in front of you.
