For a moment, it looked like the Hurricanes might have the opportunity to shove Sean Bergenheim’s mocking golf swing back in his face, a taunt delivered when the Panthers last visited Raleigh on March 21. Under slightly different circumstances, the Hurricanes might have had a chance to repay the Panthers for keeping the Hurricanes out of the playoffs in 2008 by keeping Florida out of the playoffs for an 11th straight year, but results elsewhere conspired to nudge the Panthers into the playoffs no matter what happens Saturday against the Hurricanes.
