1-0 Canes Walker from Staal and Whitney

9/25/2009 7:25:42 PM

Shots are 15 to 1 in favor of the Canes. Keep that shit up all season and I'll be moderately pleased.

9/25/2009 7:47:42 PM

Well, we have our opening night lineup (minus Pitkanen) playing, and the Thrashers brought a team of scrubs, so it's to be expected.

Oh yeah, page:

so while looking for the pic of retard staal in last year's thread I came across postings from our BUF/TOR trip last year. We definitely need to make that happen on a grand scale this season.

Lets start getting PUMPED about possible MTL/OTT in March/April. I know people want to go, and en masse it can be done for relatively cheap.

Boo thrashers

DO THEY REVIEW OFFSIDES?

BEST KAITON'S CORNER QUESTION EVER

9/25/2009 8:38:16 PM

4-3 final, Canes win

9/25/2009 9:32:35 PM

Won 5-2 last night in Nashville. Final preseason game. Sutter and McBain sent down so we seem to be set for the regular season 23 man roster.

Our preseason leaders:

Eric Staal, 3 goals and 3 assists in 3 games
Ray Whitney, 2 goals and 3 assists in 3 games
Joe Corvo, 1 goal and 4 assists in 3 games

9/27/2009 12:56:28 PM

Jay Harrison and Michael Ryan are the two rookies remaining...

9/27/2009 1:15:50 PM

Harrison isn't a rookie, and should be with the team for the entire season I think. Not really sure what Ryan's deal is. I think he is hurt, and you can't send a player down while injured.

9/27/2009 1:20:54 PM

who's goin friday?

9/27/2009 3:56:25 PM

^I am!!

9/27/2009 4:18:34 PM

woop woop/

Hopefully will be able to get out of work on time Friday.

Should be a tough matchup. The Flyers are scary with Pronger in the lineup, not to mention Carcillo

[Edited on September 27, 2009 at 4:33 PM. Reason : a]

9/27/2009 4:33:31 PM

Ryan isn't a rookie either. He spent a couple years in Buffalo (not to mention he is 30 yrs old)

9/27/2009 5:08:46 PM

okay, just less than x games in NHL

i was wronnnnnnnng

9/27/2009 6:15:01 PM

Staal walked up behind us in line @ Rite-Aid on Edwards Mill after Friday's game.

Told him nice game, yada yada...definitely forgot to congratulate him on the kiddo

woops.

IS ANYONE GOING TO THE CANES @ CAPS GAME DECEMBER 28TH??!!

CAINS ON THE ROAD!

9/27/2009 9:23:33 PM

^I will be attending that contest.

Ryan Bayda signed with the Pens

"Bayda, who was invited to the Pens training camp on a tryout deal, was given a two-way contract."

I guess he has a better shot in PIT, hoping to unseat Craig Adams

HAHAH.

So I'm playing NHL 10, and I drew a tripping penalty against none other than the Florida Panthers, and the announcers made a comment about diving....first time I've heard them mention it in the game......wtf

Goaltender Cam Ward has agreed to a six-year, $37.8 million extension with the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes will make it official at a news conference in Raleigh on Wednesday afternoon

9/30/2009 9:54:41 AM

6 yr, 37.8 mil per TSN

oops, too late

looks about right

i'm not crazy about NTCs, but if it got the deal done, fine

Staal and Ward together through 2016. We've got 7 shots at building a contending team around them.

I like it.

9/30/2009 11:04:00 AM

so I'm reading the Hurricanes Season preview on ESPN (mistake, I know). And the preview our "starting five" and mention Tuomo Ruutu:

Quote :

"Tuomo Ruutu: Durability always an issue, but feistiness not."

wtf, I'm tired of hearing "experts" lament on him being injury prone, or whatever. He's been injured once, and besides that season....his sophomore season 4 years ago, he hasn't missed more than a handful of games.
