Carolina Hurricanes Head Coach Calls Out His Team After Brutal Loss
Rod Brind'Amour, the head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes, is known for being straightforward and last night was no exception. After a 6-1 defeat to the Edmonton Oilers, Brind'Amour didn't mince words, even conducting an interview from the bench during the game.
In the midst of the loss, Brind'Amour expressed his frustration, saying,
"We're on our way to losing 50-nothing right now. I've never seen a team play this brutal. At this point, you know, I'm lost for words to be quite honest. We weren't ready to start, that was clear. And now we're just doing things, not the way we do it. And this is what you get."
Even after the game, Brind'Amour continued his critique, focusing on the overall poor performance and singling out the team's top players:
"It was just a bad game from start to finish, we didn't have anything going. I haven't seen a game like that out of us, so I'm a little bit at a loss for words. It's not acceptable, not for sure, and our top guys especially have to show up more."
In contrast, the Edmonton Oilers, after a slow start that led to a coaching change, are hitting their stride with a five-game winning streak.
