The Canes just can't put it together in the playoffs, no matter how hard they try
Despite that nitpick, there's no denying how good and difficult to play the Hurricanes are.
You could make an argument that this team's lack of elite finishers makes it fatally flawed, but blue-collar groups like the 2018-19 St. Louis Blues and the 2013-14A better explanation — albeit a less satisfying one — for Carolina's inability to get over the hump is that they are victims of the chaos intrinsically bound to the game of hockey — even at its highest level.
While the conventional wisdom states that the best way to consistently win games is to control the play, limit opportunities for your opponents and put pucks on net, that can only get you so far. A team like the Hurricanes, that has a reputation for dominating the puck-possession battle, is usually only getting 55% or so of the available scoring chances.
Over the the course of a season, that consistently results in a solid record. In a short playoff series, that edge isn't nearly enough to guarantee victory, or even come close to it. If any team can bend the math in their favour, it's these Hurricanes, but they can only bend it so much.who has been otherworldly since the beginning of the second round, posting a .958 save percentage in his last eight games. There's simply not much you can do about that.
It's possible that the Hurricanes mount an incredible comeback from here, and the high quality of hockey this team plays will shine through on the way to a Stanley Cup Final berth. For that to happen, though, they'll need the puck to normalize and the better team to win four consecutive times.
