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."
