Fuck power rankings.

We're #1 by three clear points. Period.

1/31/2006 3:21:45 PM

yeah...that time we are up to #1, when I first clicked on the link it had us at #2

1/31/2006 3:25:33 PM

is there really no way to see the game tonight? sucks.

1/31/2006 4:13:09 PM

I wonder if it's on Center Ice? Every Canes game this year has either been on FSN or Center Ice for me.. I'll switch back and forth from that and the UConn game if it's on..

It says blacked out but if you have Center Ice I'm sure it will be on it.. always has this year when FSN hasn't carried it..

There's no doubt it'll be on Center Ice. Like it was said earlier, I've been able to pick up everygame that FSN hasn't on center ice. But, it IS tuesday, maybe OLN picked it up?

1/31/2006 4:35:12 PM

OLN has minnesota @ colorado

1/31/2006 4:39:33 PM

This is rediculous. There is no excuse for the best team in hockey to not have every game televised.

1/31/2006 5:08:06 PM

Its ridiculous that the majority of Sports Talk posters can't spell

1/31/2006 5:09:48 PM

Weight stated that he likes to return to St. Louis after this season. Looks like we paid alot for rent-a-player.

1/31/2006 6:25:28 PM

no, we wanted a rental player, it would be a bad deal if he had another year on his contract, I love Doug Weight but he is not a 5.7 million dollar player, we didn't really lose anything except basically a 2nd rounder

1/31/2006 6:31:50 PM

I was hoping that we could resign him for like 3 million/year at the end of the year. Guess not.

1/31/2006 6:34:48 PM

I honestly don't think that the Canes lost too much. Really 4th round picks are generally fringe NHL/AHL players most of the time. A VERY LOW 1st round pick in a weaker draft class. Boulerice was a luxury to have but lets face it he was scratched more times then he dressed this year. Zigomanus spent most of his time between Lowell and here. Kahnberg is an UFA and can't play in America this year from what I understand...

Dougie Weight can help the team immeasurably with the injuries right now and gives that final piece of legitimacy for a real Cup run..

just my opinion..



[Edited on January 31, 2006 at 6:55 PM. Reason : time to grab a few beers and watch the game..]

1/31/2006 6:54:36 PM

AHAHAHA.. WHAT THE FUCK??!??!?!

So I turned it to 734. There is asterik on the screen that says *Game added. Broadcast in French only.

God damn it. Hopefully the radio delay isn't bad or else I'm not watching that shit..

1/31/2006 7:06:11 PM

i saw a stat today that said we're tied with the '83 flyers for most wins alltime in january with 12, a win tonight will give us the record at 13

1/31/2006 8:40:11 PM

kaiton was speculating

oh well, i guess thats better

1/31/2006 8:40:51 PM

got a big parlay that is in good shape right now

took all the favorites, canes, sabres, isles, lightning, and avs

1/31/2006 8:42:53 PM

erik cole got a hat trick.

1/31/2006 8:45:38 PM

so i guess we will have to wait till friday to see D. Weight???

1/31/2006 8:47:57 PM

Refs are sucking ass this game Rivet got away with one, and Kaberle's penalty was horseshit.

1/31/2006 8:50:44 PM

Its not on tv, is it?

1/31/2006 9:37:24 PM

nope

1/31/2006 9:43:52 PM

Looking Good for another CANES...W!!!

8 minutes left, per CBSsportsline

1/31/2006 9:47:47 PM

8-2

According to Kaiton, the fans in Montreal are now cheering for the Canes after every goal they score

1/31/2006 9:51:38 PM

8-2 or 7-2???

1/31/2006 9:53:52 PM

8-2....Just showed up for me!

was hoping it was Staal, double hat trick would have been kinda cool!

1/31/2006 9:55:24 PM

^ do they give out 2 john deeres for 2 hat tricks?

1/31/2006 9:59:35 PM

cole
staal
whitney

kaitons 3 stars

1/31/2006 10:01:17 PM

man, i was hoping for 2 hat tricks. looking forward to dougie weight.

I need to get a ticket package so I can get some playoff tickets. WolfMiami, gonna hook me up with some box seats for the cup??

1/31/2006 10:04:00 PM

this team is entirely too much fun to support!!!

1/31/2006 10:08:19 PM

the great thing about working at the rbc is i will be there for every home playoff game no matter what!!! that was really cool during the stanley cup finals in '02. and since i work in the suites i can watch some of the game too!!

1/31/2006 10:15:50 PM

I think I'll only go to one playoff game this season, that way I can save my money to go to another regular season game next season because we all know the tickets are going to sky rocket, and that makes me sad

1/31/2006 10:16:28 PM

Looks like Hutchinson and Wesley got hurt in the 1st with the "upper body injury" bug that seems to be sweeping this team

^don't expect ticket prices to go up that much. the team is still trying to build/re-build a fan base.

8-2 and not televised

what the crapp.....

1/31/2006 10:44:52 PM

i will be home for some games if we make it deep into the playoffs!

1/31/2006 11:15:56 PM

i saw it at sammys. it was on some french channel. hahaha

1/31/2006 11:36:43 PM

The game was televised if you had center ice, which picked up Montreal's RDS feed. Even though it was in french, i still found it less annoying than tripp

1/31/2006 11:43:13 PM

The highlights are up at nhl.com if you want to see them. The weirdest thing about the French call is that they let some kid call both Hab goals and our second.

2/1/2006 12:19:53 AM

of course Eric Cole gets the NHL.com #1 star with 3G, 1A, that is a given
but where is the love for Eric Staal's 2G, 1A ?

Jason Blake of the Islanders gets the #2 star with 2G, 1 of them an empty netter! wtf
Brad Richards of the Lightning gets the #3 star with 1G, plus a shootout goal, wtf

there is obviously some huge conspiracy to deny Staal of any respect , especially since he got jooed by the Canadian olympic team

2/1/2006 2:59:23 AM

http://www.nhl.com/features/threestars/standings.html

He and Kovalchuk have been on the three stars more than anyone else in the league this season, so I wouldn't say it's a matter of respect.

2/1/2006 3:12:21 AM

^ i wouldn't be a true fan if didn't complain about getting screwed somehow

well, at least that's what i learned from NCSU fans

2/1/2006 3:24:25 AM

Yeah that was an awesome game. Tied the all-time record for wins in a month with 13. I still feel like this team isn't getting any respect. But hopefully they will make the Finals this year and win the whole damn thing!

2/1/2006 11:38:13 AM

can someone briefly sum up why we picked up Doug Weight for less than a year?
