Well that was better.

Of course, it could only get better after that embarrassing performance on Saturday. I watched that game last night and couldn’t find much wrong with the Hurricanes’ performance–even Avi Tanabe was good (and from me, that is saying a lot).

Some brief specifics:

*Dennis Seidenberg showed why he deserves to be in the lineup.

*Matt Cullen showed the Rangers how they slotted up by misusing him and then letting him go (how’s Andrew Hutchinson working out for you there, Slats?)

*Cory Stillman did nothing ¹.

*The Hurricanes played about as complete a game as I’ve seen them play since October, and they showed what they can do when they actually play their game and make the other team have to adapt to them.

Hopefully they can do it again on Thursday in Tampa and Sunday in Detroit. I’ll sacrifice Saturday, if it means that the tribe will scalp the Menses Munchers the next day. Just sayin’.
