Canes Recover to Take Lightning, 3-2
After a slow start, Carolina woke up mid-way through the first period and took over the hockey game last night in Tampa. The Lightning came out with major jump, controlled play in the Hurricanes zone, and took the lead just five minutes into the game on a rebound chance by Ryan Craig.

Corvo Works Magic - Canes 2 Panthers 1, OT
The Carolina Hurricanes came out in the first period skating hard and never looked back as they defeated the Florida Panthers, 2-1 in overtime last night at the RBC. Not only did the Canes outshoot the Panthers in each and every period, but they held the advantage in time of possession and scoring chances [...]
Plenty of Practice for Powerplay - Canes 3 Habs 2
In a somewhat bizarre game where 11 penalties were called against the Habs in just the first two periods, Carolina took advantage of the practice time and scored three goals while on the powerplay and defeated Montreal, 3-2.
Eric Staal scored the first two goals of the game, both in the opening period. The first [...]
The Song Remains the Same - Pens 5 Canes 2
Scotty Bowman himself could have been behind the Carolina bench last night and it would not have mattered. The Hurricanes turned the puck over, gave it away, mis-handled it, and couldn’t keep it out of their own net. They pretty much kept on doing what’s been happening all too much, all year [...]
Williams Returns - Pens at Canes Game Preview
Forget just a moment that there is a new Sheriff, (coach) in town. Forget if you can, that the new coach is the same as the old one, (2003). There is another reason for fans to get excited tonight, and it has nothing to do with coaching.
After almost a year of absence, former [...]
Flyers at Canes, Gameday Preview
The red-hot Philadelphia Flyers are in town to take on the up and down Carolina Hurricanes. The Flyers have won their last five games and have not lost in regulation in their last seven. (6-0-1). The Canes have lost their last two, but won three consecutive games prior to that.

Rutherford to Change Training Methods in Carolina
Hurricanes General Manager, Jim Rutherford is mandating change regarding the way Carolina players train off the ice. In a recent interview with TSN’s Darren Dreger, Rutherford says that any off-ice testing that increases the heart rate and puts stress on the body will no longer be allowed by the organization.
“Their bodies are screaming out, [...]
Carolina Injuries - Bad Training, Bad Skates, or Bad Luck?
Last week, the Carolina Hurricanes treatment room looked like a waiting line at a MASH unit. Ten players were nursing some type of injury. Things are looking better at the moment, but the injury bug is nothing new for the Canes and it’s starting to make fans as well as team management ask [...]
No Easy Path for Rutherford - Mark Parrish on Speed Dial?
You have to feel for Justin Williams. To work so hard, only to have another set back like this one must be devastating. But not only is the winger’s injury tough on the skater himself, it obviously affects the whole organization.
For instance, Peter Laviolette’s job status is probably riding on the team’s success [...]
Justin Williams Injured, Out up to Six Months
No, this isn’t a bad joke.
The Carolina Hurricanes just issued a press release announcing that forward Justin Williams injured himself at a workout this morning. He will need surgery and will be out for a period of four to six months.
RALEIGH, NC—Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, [...]
“Fun Fest” Highlights
I went over to the RBC last night to check out how the Carolina Hurricanes first “Fun Fest” was going. I’m not very good at guessing the number of heads in a crowd, but if I had to make a guess I would say that there were probably a few hundred people in attendance.
While [...]
Injury Status Report - Q&A With Pete Friesen
Several readers have been asking about the current status of some of the injured Canes who were either unable to play, or who were not skating at 100% when the season unceremoniously came to an end last April. I decided to attempt to get in touch with the organization, to see if [...]
