Broadcasters Take Center Stage
Hurricanes broadcasters, John Forslund and Chuck Kaiton will both be front and center reporting for local news sources again this year.
Kaiton is the Hockey Hall of Fame voice of the Canes and can be found doing radio play-by-play on 99.9 FM, “The Fan”. But rival, “850 The Buzz” has also enlisted Kaiton’s services for [...]
Leighton and Canes Hold on to 1-0 Win
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Philadelphia Flyers at the RBC yesterday by a score of 1-0. The victory was the first for the Canes this preseason and gave them an overall record of 1-3, with two more games to play.
Sergei Samsonov was the number one star of the game. Not only did he score [...]
Lengthy Staal Deal Imminent
The talk around Raleigh today is that Eric Staal is close to signing a major contract extension. The only remaining questions are, for how much and how long? Chip Alexander at LSB is reporting that it could be worth between 7 and 10 million per year.
This morning, Jim Rutherford was on 99.9 The [...]
More on Rutherford
Let me start out by repeating that I am not in favor of losing or firing Jim Rutherford. I just think that since he is the man at the top, and since the Canes haven’t made the playoffs in 4 out of the past 5 years, he should be called out first.
In this recent [...]
Canes Out and About Tonight
There are a couple things going on later that bear mentioning. Canes Corner, with Mike Maniscalco is on the air again tonight on 99.9 The Fan from 6 to 7. Glen Wesley will be the guest. If you’re in the neighborhood, drop by to watch the segment live at MacGregor’s Draft [...]
Wasted - Predators 1 Hurricanes 0
The good news is that Cam Ward played one of his best games of the season for Carolina last night. The bad news is that the rest of the Hurricanes wasted his outstanding effort. The Nashville Predators outlasted the Carolina Hurricanes last night, 1-0 in a defensive minded contest. But the [...]
“Hammy” on Waivers
Sir Eklund is reporting that Jeff Hamilton has been put on the waiver wire this lunchtime. While I have ragged on Eklund in the past for having the nerve to post some of his crazy rumors, he’s been right more often than not when he reports waiver activity. This looks to [...]
Brief News for a Slow Afternoon
The aftershock of last night’s fiasco is starting to wear off and reality is setting in. Not only do the Hurricanes have the lowest rated penalty kill in the league, they now have allowed more short-handed goals than any other team in the league. Special teams are more important than ever in today’s [...]
Winter Classic in Raleigh?
The other morning I was listening to “The Fanatics” on 99.9 The Fan with Mike Maniscalco and Dan Mason, and they were actually discussing the idea of having a “Winter Classic” in Raleigh. For those of you who may have been traveling in Europe during the New Year and have no idea what I’m [...]
In and Out of Love - Update
More news today! Early this afternoon the Canes announced that they were sending Andrew Ladd to Albany for a 4 game rehab assignment. This is probably the best thing for Andrew at this time, even though he might not be pleased to be traveling up north by himself. He hasn’t been getting [...]
Enter Sandman
I was listening to this song on the radio this morning, and it reminded me of that “sharp as a tack” NHL league office. It’s hard to get anything past those guys because they are never asleep at the wheel! Finally, after the 5th suspension of one of their players during just the [...]
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 [...]

Down on the Corner
Just a reminder for those of you who live south of town, Canes Corner will be at the Bass Lake Ale House in Holly Springs tonight. I haven’t seen much advertising about this one, but Tim Gleason will be the guest. For those of you who would like more information about Canes Corner, [...]
She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy
Cory Stillman scored a natural hat-trick in the first period, Cam Ward earned a shut-out, and Eric Staal added two more goals as the Carolina Hurricanes buried the Washington Capitals last night, 5-0. Stillman’s hat-trick won some lucky fan a tractor! (not the one pictured above.) The Canes powerplay cut through [...]

He also co-hosts The Fan’s morning show, “The Fanatics” with Dan Mason which airs from 6-9 every weekday morning.
