'You Can't Luck Into That': Rod Brind'Amour, Jordan Martinook On Conference Clinch, Shootout Loss

Despite a 3-2 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Carolina Hurricanes clinched the top spot in the Eastern Conference Monday night. The Canes saw an early two-goal lead evaporate in the second period and despite strong push in the third and in overtime, they couldn't find enough finish to win. But again, the team got what they needed out of the game even despite resting seven regulars.

After the game, Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour along with alternate captain Jordan Martinook spoke with the media in Philadelphia. Here's what they had to say. Rod Brind'Amour On the game : Considering who we're missing and the stakes of the game, I thought, to be honest, we probably deserved the two points.

So a pretty good effort through 60 minutes. They're gonna make their plays and they had a few. Bus made some real good saves and we just didn't cash in in overtime.

I thought we had a lot of good looks, just didn't happen. Goes to a shootout, whatever. It is what it is.
