Hurricanes scratch Frederik Andersen, start Brandon Bussi

LAS VEGAS -- The Carolina Hurricanes turned their crease over to goaltender Brandon Bussi for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Starter Frederik Andersen was a healthy scratch, and Pyotr Kochetkov was the backup to Bussi. The Hurricanes trail the Vegas Golden Knights, 2-1.

Andersen had started all 16 games in the Hurricanes' playoff run but was pulled after two periods in Game 3 having given up 4 goals on 16 shots.

Bussi entered to start the third period and stopped 18 of 19 shots -- including a penalty shot from playoffs leading scorer Mitch Marner early in the third. Carolina eventually lost on a goal that deflected off Bussi and into the net on a freakish bounce off the end boards following a Shea Theodore shot.

LOL!  Reminds me of the sitcom "CHEERS", when "Carla Tortelli" was dating the Bruin's goalie who was having a month long hot streak...everybody wanted to be around him.

Eddie Lebec, a newly acquired goalie for the Bruins, comes into the bar prior to a game. Eddie is currently the hottest goalie in the league. Since the start of his winning streak, Eddie, a superstitious person, will not stray from his regular routine, which includes a drink of club soda, no ice, 2 slices of lemon and a red straw.

Eddie and Carla hit it off and start dating. Carla is excited but anxious that something will go wrong to ruin the relationship.

On the day Eddie publicly declares Carla as his girlfriend, a game against the Flyers goes into OT, and as soon as Carla blows him a kiss of good luck, Eddie's winning streak comes to an end. [/size]
