Posted on 6 May 2010 by Chris Cote.
Despite an incredibly slow start to the season and the resulting large number of trades, the turnover rate this summer in Carolina should be relatively low. With most of the wheeling and dealing already done, this will be a summer of draft picks and Free agents. For the Hurricanes, the most important pieces of business this summer are: 1) Determine the status of Rod Brind'amour- Yes, he got...

First of all, I would like to apologize for not getting this up sooner. I got hit with some family news a couple days ago that was, to say the least, shocking.

Well That Was Fun…
Posted on 7 Apr 2010 by Chris Cote.
The Hurricanes might be out of the playoffs, but an 8-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning always feels satisfying. Eric Staal, Rod Brind'amour and Drayson Bowman each scored two goals while Jussi Jokinen and Chad Larose had a goal apiece to give the Canes their highest scoring game of the season. The two goals were Drayson Bowman's first of his career, and Rod Brind'amour finally managed h...

Own the Podium? More like Own the Russians!
Posted on 25 Feb 2010 by Corey Krakower.
In a performance that can only be described as epic, the ice hockey team fielded by Canada finally came together and put on a show similar to what people see when they watch the Harlem Globetrotters dominate the Washington Generals. After a very mediocre preliminary round that had many including myself questioning goaltending, speed on defense and intensity up front, Team Canada answered all of...

Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer are first ballot hall of famers. Keith and Seabrook are the best D-pairing in the NHL and can stop anyone. Dan Boyle anchors the best PP in the Western Conference.

These two teams have only met once so far this season, with three more to go. Buffalo won that meeting 5-1, scoring all their goals in the third period.

After being outshot 8-4, Buffalo got on the board towards the end of the first. Andrej Sekera took a shot from t...

Canes Fall To Flames, Wallin Traded?
Posted on 4 Feb 2010 by Chris Cote.
In what was an expected outcome, the Carolina Hurricanes lost 4-1 to the Calgary Flames. Not too much to say about this one really, Calgary was the better team the entire game and deserved the win. Had the Hurricanes powerplay been on tonight, this may be a different game we're talking about right now but sometimes that's just the way things go. Also making noise in the league is th...

Posted on 31 Jan 2010 by Chris Cote.
It was only a couple weeks ago that the Carolina Hurricanes were in last place in the NHL and the decision to scrap the team was all but made. After last night, however, things have become alot more interesting for GM Jim Rutherford. Last nights 4-2 victory over Chicago proved that with Cam Ward in net, the Carolina Hurricanes have a chance to win every game. Having now won four games in a ...

Eric Staal continues to lead the pace since gaining the “C”, scoring his 8th goal in the last five games, and Cam Ward put in yet another strong effort stopping 26 of 27. Despite maintaining a st...
