Carolina Hurricanes: Five Lessons Learned Last Postseason
By Austin Isham
The Carolina Hurricanes took a lot of lessons learned last playoff run.
As we itch closer to the return of hockey, let us take a look at five lessons learned last postseason that can help the Carolina Hurricanes make another deep run this time around.
The Carolina Hurricanes finally ended their decade long playoff drought when they qualified for the playoffs this past season. Going on an unexpected run to the conference finals, it is safe to say the experience was extremely valuable for a young team and first year head coach.
Looking to officially qualify for their second straight postseason birth, they can now take what they learned from last season and build upon it this time around. While still a young team, they have the pieces in play to make another deep run.
Only time will tell how things will play out but I wouldn’t bet against Rod Brind’amour and his squad to make some noise yet again. Already seen as a bit of an underdog to even qualify for the playoffs under the new format, many are quick to write off the Canes yet again.
Now, without further ado, let us take a look at five lessons from last year’s playoffs and how they can help Carolina make an even deeper run this time around.
