Yeah, it is. He came here in that trade as basically a 7th defenseman, and a guy who would be a healthy scratch some nights. He's developed into a top notch defenseman, and considering some of the absurd salaries defensemen have gathered the last couple years in free agency, I'd have to think he is at least a $3 million guy.

11/6/2007 8:25:56 PM

i just dont think he is worth 3 mil to us. i love the guy, but he is going to walk

NHL Network is showing Game 7 of the 06 Eastern Conference Finals on their "HD Showcase" thing tomorrow. If you have Time Warner it has been added on channel 330.

11/7/2007 1:12:20 PM

A top notch defenseman who routinely takes some of the dumbest penalties I've ever seen.

11/7/2007 1:41:01 PM

WOAH TWC ACTUALLY ADDED A TV NETWORK SHORTLY AFTER LAUNCHING?

[Edited on November 7, 2007 at 4:05 PM. Reason : now how long until they get the HD version, directtv had the HD version before they had the SD versi]

[Edited on November 7, 2007 at 4:10 PM. Reason : is this just a free preview and we'll have to pay for it at some point or is this just plain free?]

11/7/2007 4:04:12 PM

^probably the latter.

11/7/2007 5:48:33 PM

I didn't read the posts from page 8 and maybe 7, but the Canes have 20% of the top 25 scorers. Or for those of you like me, who aren't good with numbers, that's 5 players. 20% just sounded better. I still think they could shore up a touch on D. But as long as they're winning, why make changes?

11/7/2007 9:37:37 PM

yeah, they're the highest scoring team in the league

11/7/2007 9:39:42 PM

You Raleigh folk need to roll deep up here when Albany comes into Norfolk.

^^ Studies have shown that the Carolina Hurricanes are in fact, a FUN hockey team.

Hedican is +11. Yowza.

Just for the sake of the earlier argument, though, they're normally on the same pair but Commodore is only +8.

11/8/2007 10:50:08 AM

anyone have any spare or tickets they are looking to offload? Want to go tonight, but not sure the best way to get a good deal.

Just show up and find some lower levels? Craiglist? Just go ticketmaster?

Willing to pay up to 50 per, hoping for lowers or clubs.

11/8/2007 11:47:53 AM

Try craigslist first, then maybe buy one off a guy in the ticket resale area.

11/8/2007 11:54:17 AM

where's that? sorry, i usually have tix on hand or sit with friends in box seats (lucky usually).

11/8/2007 11:56:16 AM

It's between Carter-Finley and the RBC Center right off to the side of the new plaza. Unless they moved it...

11/8/2007 4:23:28 PM

college night and college caniac rush are two different promotions.

11/8/2007 4:36:40 PM

that'd be nice but I'm an alum. Doh!

I still have my student ID for getting into movies with a discount, lol. But if you check it invalidated in 05.

11/8/2007 5:09:36 PM

They never check my date on my ID. Get some college friends....

11/8/2007 8:01:22 PM

Tampa is looking good. They're much faster than the Canes have been tonight.

11/8/2007 8:09:37 PM

Canes look like shit more than anything

11/8/2007 8:16:39 PM

what a shitty game. i'm going to go ahead and chalk it up to a fluke though; just one of those off nights

11/8/2007 9:15:28 PM

great, what a fantastic game to come out to and splurge on getting good seats for.

Oh well, they'lll turn it around.

11/8/2007 9:51:27 PM

At least OtTwat lost to Washington of all team.

11/8/2007 10:16:51 PM

I told you Cherokee. Caps took it. So much for your 12-1 Sens prediction.

11/8/2007 10:21:35 PM

we just signed somebody to replace david tanabe

here's the press photo:



you can tell the marked improvement just from the photo

11/8/2007 11:37:04 PM

We had an absolute blast at the game making fun of Tanabe the entire time. I almost fell out of my seat when he tripped over that guy near the end of the game.

Anyway, I'm going to keep trying these until I get it right:

11/8/2007 11:39:55 PM

Vulcan91 hahaha tanabe!!! i could barely breath after making fun of him (he's not a bad player) but i really lost it during the ride home when the 1st guy to call into the buzz was like "i don't wanna change the subject, but what about tanabe"

in all seriousness though, regardless of the outcome i had a great time, especially with that dude who was like 3 seats left of us screaming "RUBISH"


changing the subjects, i cannot believe the caps beat ottawa

11/9/2007 4:25:39 AM

The last couple Saturdays have been awesome with NC State and the Canes. Here's to another one, also against a hated rival.

11/10/2007 4:54:50 PM

god i wish every game was in HD, it always seems like the games from atlanta and washington are so shitty in quality

Good game from the Canes. Came back from 1-0 and 2-1 down to send the Thrashers into the frying pan.
