Hurricanes Handed Blunt Brandon Bussi Assessment: ‘He Was the Reason’

The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the New York Islanders 5-3 this Thursday, Nov. 5, at UBS Arena in Elmont, but that did not exempt them from criticism. To be honest, the Canes had stretches where they simply didn’t do things well, but they stayed afloat thanks to one specific player: Brandon Bussi. That is precisely the opinion ESPN’s Adam Gold shared on the postgame edition of the “Canes Corner” podcast. Gold highlighted Bussi’s importance to the team, even though he admitted he had doubts about him after a long stretch without playing in the NHL.
