#4 March 3 vs. Carolina Hurricanes

The Washington Capitals will also see the Carolina Hurricanes in late November on the 28th in Raleigh. The Hurricanes proved they truly are a bunch of jerks when they signed Tony DeAngelo. They also let Dougie Hamilton walk, an elite defenseman who cashed in with the New Jersey Devils and will have different faces in goal.

This is the same Hurricanes team that gave us all fits in 2019 yet there’s different faces. What was once a challenge will now be an opponent the Caps circle on the calendar as a team to mess with proudly. And a team like the Hurricanes deserve it for how they dunked on the Caps on social media back in that first round playoff series. They act like they’re our biggest rivals. They aren’t. The Penguins are.

I don’t have to get into what DeAngelo has done in his past because one I hate politics and two every hockey fan pretty much knows about it. If not and you want a more detailed look at it and what kind of creature the Hurricanes are bringing into their locker room, check out Sara Civian’s piece on it from The Athletic (subscription required).
