CAROLINA -1½ +115 over Chicago

7:05 PM EST. OT Included. The Hurricanes are 6-0 and it’s a legit 6-0. This is a team that is 1-0 against top-10 competition and also 3-0 against top-16 competition. After a 3-0 win over Boston last night in which the Hurricanes killed five penalties overall, including two five-on-three opportunities and three penalties in the third period, many players agreed that it wasn’t their best game. Perhaps Carolina was looking forward to this one instead.

The Chicago Blackhawks and some of their current players have cast a black cloud over the NHL. When Chicago played Toronto on Wednesday night, the shit was right on the verge of hitting the fan but had not yet exploded. It did explode yesterday with Chciago’s captain, Jonathan Toews’ comments making him the most hated player in sports right now. Patrick Kane isn’t far behind. The universe is outraged about what Jonathan Toews had to say. You couldn’t possibly handle this situation any worse than him. This is the local headline in Chicago but it's front page news in every publication on the continent.

Blackhawks

In sports, any distractions are not conducive to winning. This is a major, major, major distraction. Both Kane and Toews have been called everything in the book on social media. One has to wonder how they can even show their faces at this point. It’s hard to focus on a lousy hockey game when the entire world views the two leaders on the team as two liars, two cowards and two pieces of shit. Aside from the distractions, Chicago’s goalies are garbage. The Chicago Blackhawks organization and team is on a real mental low both physically and mentally. This is a wounded minnow against a shark. The ‘Canes are waiting.
