Canes, Sabres Take Different Paths
Two cities. Two franchises. Two strategies. Two similar destinations.
Back in the 2005-06, the Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres were two of the best teams in the NHL, compiling 112 and 110 points, respectively, en route to the Eastern Conference finals.
Both teams were, first and foremost, built for speed.
The Sabres were led by dipsy-doodling Russian Maxim [...]

Hey Joe - Fresh Start for Corvo
Yesterday, I received an email from a “concerned fan” asking me how I felt about Joe Corvo and an incident that he had back in 2002 when he was charged and convicted with assault on a female. I’m not sure if this concerned individual is the same person who seems to be spamming several [...]
Sweet Emotion - Hurricanes at Bruins
The Carolina Hurricanes are in Boston to take on the Bruins tonight, and Caniacs are looking for a little more emotion out of this team than they saw in the disappointing and discouraging 6-1 blowout against New Jersey on Saturday.
Of course this will be the first game without the recently traded Mike Commodore and Cory [...]
Eric Staal Named to All Star Team
Carolina Hurricanes center Eric Staal was named to the 2008 All Star team earlier today. Staal has played extremely well the past few weeks for the Canes and certainly deserves the honor. He’ll be the only representative from Carolina this year. Congratulations Eric!
Will Staal ever be in line for a huge contract [...]
Everybody Hurts - Bruins at Hurricanes

First, let’s look to see who won’t be playing for Boston. Aaron Ward, Patrice Bergeron, Glen Murray, [...]
Small Talk
There’s lots of small talk going on in the Caniac Nation about the Hurricanes defense. John Forslund discusses it in his latest blog posting, “Is it Time”?. Luke DeCock talks about it in his latest post on Lord Stanley’s Blog, “Kaberle or Seidenberg”? The messageboards have been ripe with the discussions [...]
