The Carolina Hurricanes are launching into a tough month of March starting with a road trip that begins in Philadelphia. Here are the keys to a winning beginning.

The Carolina Hurricanes are about to start the most important month of the season. It begins in the Brotherly City of Gritty, against a team that right now, is the hottest in the National Hockey league.

The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off a convincing 5-2 win over the Division leading Washington Capitals that is caps off a seven game winning streak. If that wasn’t scary enough, this is a team that hasn’t had back to back losses since They last saw the Hurricanes early in the calendar year. Since then they are 17-5-1 and not looking back as they scale the division.

I am not going to sugar coat it, this might be the team to beat this season. After a rocky start the Flyers are Moneypuck.com‘s favorite to win the Stanley Cup. That means Gritty will get his greasy mitts on it and probably do something crazy like chuck it into the stands, break it, and most likely kill someone.

We have to stop that from happening at all costs. So here are your three keys to a Hurricanes win that will help the Canes make the playoffs and perhaps slow down Gritty’s march towards the Stanley Cup.
