Rock and Roll Music to the World
Team USA begins it’s quest to win the World Championships today as they take on Team Austria in Moscow. A picture of Erik Cole making his signature move graces the front page of the WCSN. Team Canada plays Germany tomorrow.
(Update)… I see that Team USA won the game 6-2! Looks like they are starting off on a good note.
Carolina Hurricanes forward, Ray Whitney reportedly had successful shoulder surgery earlier this week and will now undergo 3 months of rehabilitation. He is supposed to be ready for training camp in September. There is still no word about signing Scott Walker. No news is definitely bad news for Caniacs. There is a rumor that Rutherford offered him a 2 year deal at 4 million, (2 million per year), but Scott is seeking closer to 3 million a year or 3.5. If that is true I can’t blame either of them, but I think 3 million a year is too much for Scottie. If JR is really at a 4 million dollar offer for 2 years, I think that’s pretty fair. But you can’t blame Walker for trying for more. We’ll see what happens.
There’s not much else to report for now. Have a great weekend!

Many have stated as far back as the time of his trade for Joe V that the Canes wouldn’t be able to keep him and Ray this summer. Whitney is already settled in. So that may very well be the case after all. Walker might walk. That will be lousy as he was easily one of the better forwards and quickly became a RBC fav. I think.

Pay Scottie the damn money! We have had good play from him and consistency. Thats alot more than I can say for some of the players that were signed to multi tear big deals only to come back and go flat (can you hear me Eric Staal?). Bring Scottie back at all costs.

I can’t find the stats for team usa anywhere, or even a roster. All the hockey sites are full of NHL playoff info.
Thanks for the help Bubba, getting me back on the blog. Keep up the good work.
