Loose Pucks - Crosby Ignores “The Code”
As we take a quick look around the hockey world, there were a couple of interesting hockey “fights” this weekend.

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.

Every Picture Tells a Story - Canes Out and About
Congratulations to Patrick Eaves and his fiancee, Katie. Apparently, Patrick proposed at (at a lake like) nearby Lake Norman, where this recent photo shoot took place.
