Adam Gold talks about how important Teuvo Teravainen is to the Canes' quest for an outstanding season.
Well, that tough road trip came to an end in Tampa, but the Hurricanes came home and got two very big wins including what I thought was their best complete performance of the entire season at home against Seattle with an overtime victory there, Martin Naches, I think played his most complete game maybe of his entire career. He factored in all three goals. He had the overtime winner. Uh and then the next night against the San Jose Sharks team. That might be 32 out of 32 in the NHL. They are not very good Carolina. He played a great first period and basically won the game there, Tavo Terrain and with his third career hat trick and Anti Ranta played really well, very encouraging sign because Anti had struggled in his first three appearances for Carolina Ranta with a shutout his 20th in his career, his seventh as a member of the Hurricanes. And I think the, to me, the theme for the first three weeks of the season has been opportunity T Tavan and took the opportunity with Andrei Svet out of the lineup and Svet is back to basically cement himself as a top six forward for Carolina. And that was a very good sign because Carolina needs Tebow at his absolute best in order to achieve all their goals. There's just no other way around it. Ranta, he had an opportunity again on Friday night to kind of make sure that he was the number two to Freddie Anderson who played very well in the win over Seattle. So a lot of things are falling into place and the Hurricanes will play three times on the road this weekend or this week. They'll be in Philadelphia tomorrow, the Rangers on Thursday and the Islanders on Saturday back on the road. I think the Hurricanes will be ok.
