It wasn't a pretty outing for the Carolina Hurricanes Friday night.
The club was embarrassed on home ice by the Pittsburgh Penguins, dropping a 7-1 contest to their Metropolitan counterparts, leaving a bad taste in the mouth of Jordan Staal.
Staal called game an embarrassment. Said Pens made Canes "look like a high school team."

It certainly wasn't pretty with the Penguins out-shooting the Hurricanes 41-28. It also saw the Penguins continue their dominance over the club.
