Carolina Hurricanes Hockey News

Opening Night  Against the Hated Montreal Team…. Prediction:  Hurricanes 4 Montreal 1.
The Hurricanes are looking great this year reminds me of the year I predicted a Stanley Cup victory… playing montreal again reminds of some fun in the past.
I doubt many people remember this post.

I look forward to even more fun this season.
Go Canes!!!

Yes I did it again.  I had our company buy season tix… went in thinking of a 10 pack on the lower level and instead picked up a 24 pack to share around the office.  It was expensive but Hockey is one sport that I LOVE and its fun to take the family out and tailgate once in a while… not to mention the playoffs later in the year…

So back to the rink and since these seats are closer I may even have a few good pictures to put on here and def count on some podcasts.  I had allot of fun during the Stanley Cup run and had even more fun with fans from other teams.    Look for more of that As we try and fire up some fans from other teams.

Go Canes!

I know I haven’t written here much lately I have been busy with a new business and also with exploring Western North Carolina Real Estate options. I have had trouble this year getting to as many games as in the year’s past and based on the news I see I haven’t missed much.

This last trade deadline passing and picking up Carter who I still have pretty negative feelings about based on watching him play against the Caroline Hurricanes for years, made me ill. I just don’t like him. I know he had a great year last year and hey maybe he can spark something this year. I doubt it will happen. I hope he proves me wrong, but I think there may be a reason he has played on so many teams.

Losing and losing in shootouts. Not a good way to head the the all star break. What has been the difference this year over last? Could it be that the goalie situation is it? I know nobody wants to say anything bad about Ward.. he did an incredible thing last year in the SC but he is a young player.  Many people have seemed to forget that Gerber had what 38 wins last season? I could be wrong but I think he set a franchise record.  Yes he choked in the playoffs but maybe we should have held on to him.   Many players may find themselves opening a painting business in April if the play doesn’t improve.

With Kevyn Adams leaving made me wonder what kind of career he may be doing in the future after when he retires. He has many opportunities to to work and make money. NHL commentator, maybe in the booth with Tripp Tracy. Who knows. One thing he may be looking into is a painting business that can be a wonderful to employ people in the community and make some money.

Really the whole team deserves to be there but these 3 got the stars for the victory. After watching a video in the Hockey Hall of Fame of their Stanley Cup Run they went in the next night and pounded the Leafs 4-1.

The fans booed the leafs in the final minutes of the game. I love it. Nice Victory Canes.

The Carolina Hurricanes are I think the most physically fit team in the NHL. Leading the Charge is Captain Rod Brind’Amour. Brindy a well known fitness fanatic has long infulenced young players with his workout everyday all day if he could mentality. That is one reason that he still plays at such a high level and may physically will be able to play into his late 40’s if he wants to. Weight loss has never been a problem for him. The contsant exercise and incredible work ethic are a big reason he is the assist leader on the Hurricanes this year.

In an effort to bolster some defense this trade was made. While I completely understand I am a little disappointed I like the Kevyn Adams played and thought he was one of the constants that contributed to the Stanley Cup run last year. I am glad to have some help on D but KA will be missed. It makes me wonder if this has anything to do with the fight in practice earlier this year? HMMM.

What Can I say I really just hate the flyers, i know they are supposedly playing better now but they aren’t good and this new year’s eave game should be an easy win for the canes. I haven’t had much time this year but I look forward to going to more game and writing more. I’ll be in the RBC tonight watching the game. I will throw some pictures up tomorrow.

Faith. I have been defending the Carolina Hurricanes all season. They had a rough road, they won the Stanley cup last year. Lets give them a break i kept saying. Then they lost Brindy and it all seemed to go to hell. Well he’s back now and the Hurricanes look again like the team that won the cup. Why was everyone so worried? I don’t know. They are an elite team and now they know its time to turn it on and they did. You can see recent scores and updates on our home page.
