CANES DOMINATE SUB PAR LIGHTNING, WIN DECISIVELY 4-2 IN DRUBBING

After being dominated, destroyed and clobbered in an embarrassing 3-2 loss to a far superior St. Louis Blues squad, the Canes rallied to defeat a mere speck of a team, former CLUTCH Champions Tampa Bay in a decisive 4-2 victory. Since Tampa and Carolina are in the far weaker Campbell division, one could only imagine this lacklustre affair.

"To win by one goal is apparently dominating, so for us to win by 2 whole goals, I mean God, what a punishing afternoon for Tampa," said Jay McKee, a huge part of the overwhelming slaughter of the meek Tampa Bay Lightning. "I feel sorry for the players of Tampa, but also their families. What total domination."

Jeff Friesen and Brad Boyes led the Canes to the pounding by each potting 2 points. For Boyes, it was more of a wake up call.

"I was not playing because I was not really doing anything on the ice," said Boyes. "If you want to play here, you need to step it up every game. I was not. Coach likes guys to go hard all game long and I think I did that tonight. Hopefully I am back for the next game."

The Canes will finish of the season playing the Lightning one more time and current rival the Philadelphia Flyers another two times. With the victory, the Canes secured a playoff spot, something that was just a matter of time.
