Hard Times at the RBC - Ducks 4 Canes 1
For the moment, the Carolina Hurricanes seem to be a snake-bitten hockey team while competing at the RBC. After playing the Anaheim Ducks to a draw in the opening period last night, they completely dominated them in the second period, outshooting the Ducks 17-3.
They hit the post, they missed pointblank chances, they even had [...]
Carolina Blues - Thrashers 3, Canes 2
The Carolina Hurricanes traveled to Atlanta desperate for a win. While they played with a bit more urgency than their two previous losses and certainly tried to pull out all the stops near the end of the game, they still came out on the short end of the stick to the Thrashers.
Poor discipline, selfish [...]
All-Star Campaign Started for Wallin
The NHL All-Star nominations have been announced and several familiar names are on the ballot. Representing the Hurricanes are team leaders Ray Whitney, Rod Brind’Amour, and last year’s All-Star MVP, Eric Staal.
Recently, I was informed that some fans are looking for even more possible representation from the Canes.
One of the pleasant surprises this year [...]
Heartbreak at the Verizon - Caps 3, Canes 2
The Carolina Hurricanes lost a tough one to the Washington Capitals Thursday night as Alexander Semin scored the game-winner with just 10.9 seconds on the clock. The Canes built leads of 1-0, and 2-1, only to watch the game, as well as the important points, slip away.
Scott Walker opened the scoring just three minutes into [...]
Wallin Lifts Canes over Leafs in OT, 5-4
The Carolina Hurricanes jumped out to a big lead in the first period, but then held on for dear life to force overtime as they defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in the extra period, 5-4. It was another Jekyl and Hyde performance for the team as they looked like world beaters in the [...]
Iron City Meltdown - Pens 4, Canes 1
The Carolina Hurricanes lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins last night by a score of 4-1.
The Canes started the game out on a decent note, taking a 1-0 lead on Brandon Sutter’s first career NHL goal. Sutter took the puck from a bumbling Brooks Orpik, who mis-played the puck right in front of the rookie [...]
Canes Find a New Way to Win
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Anaheim Ducks by a score of 3-1 last night in Anaheim. The Canes scored first in the contest, the only time they have done that all season.
Eric Staal zipped a pass across the crease to a wide open Ryan Bayda, who made no mistake. The team [...]
Canes Fall to Young Kings, 4-3 OT
The Carolina Hurricanes fought from behind to take a 3-1 lead, but ended up losing to the Los Angeles Kings in over-time late last night, by a score of 4-3.
In what is becoming a trademark for the Canes, they fell behind early as Michal Handzus beat Cam Ward, less than a minute into the [...]
Carolina Outscores Florida 6-4
In a wild and wooley back and forth game, the Hurricanes were able to find the back of the net a couple more times than the Panthers were able to, and came away with a 6-4 victory Friday night at the RBC. The Canes had six different goal scorers and netted two [...]
Nashville Notes and Other News
Tonight the Hurricanes are on the road to play another exhibition game, this time in Nashville. There will be a few vets in the lineup trying to fine tune their timing, and there will be a few players in the contest still trying to make the team. CH.com is reporting that the lineup [...]
“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 [...]
Houseparty - Canes Announce Summer Fun Fest
The Carolina Hurricanes announced yesterday that they will host a “Summer Fun Fest” at the RBC Center on Thursday, July 24th. There will be live music, street hockey, reduced food prices, and a showing of the “Miracle at Molson” on the front lawn.
The event will also be used as a marketing tool to drum [...]
And The Cradle Will Rock - Youth Served on Hurricanes Blueline
The defense is starting to take shape for the Carolina Hurricanes. Not only does it look much bigger and different than before, but it is also a great deal younger than it has been for the past several years.
Gone is the veteran experience of Glen Wesley and Bret Hedican. They have been replaced by [...]
I Will Buy You a New Life - Any Buyouts For The Canes?
Now is the time that many NHL teams will seriously think about buying out the contracts of some over-paid and under-performing players. Ottawa’s Ray Emery is at the top of the list of possibilities, as well as Boston’s Glen Murray and Atlanta’s Alexei Zhitnik.
There are also rumors that Andrew Raycroft and Darcy Tucker of [...]
