I can't get behind it if McBain is part of the deal. We would be giving up a top 4 defenseman that we have rights to for several more years for one year of an oft-injured albeit elite playmaker making 5 million dollars.

If the guy was signed for a longer term I could possibly be swayed. Especially if the return for Edmonton was not McBain

Anthony Stewart is absolutely murdering Twitter and #passittobulis today.

New seats http://lockerz.com/s/121523474

7/18/2011 9:38:26 PM

Seeing the new seats right next to the old ones really shows a big difference. Definitely more bright red (like a lot of people in the WPC wanted originally).

7/18/2011 10:04:57 PM

It was what everyone wanted originally; some idiot actually chose the wrong color when placing the order.

7/18/2011 11:22:02 PM

The current lines on the Canes site bother me for some reason. I feel like Joslin should be in the 3rd pairing, McBain at 2 and Harrison as the 7th. Anyone else feel this way?

Maybe he is listed there because of his surgery, but the 3rd line is not where he needs to be.

I also feel like our RW corps are a little weak. I think I am on board with taking a look at Hemsky.

7/19/2011 8:31:02 AM

Skinner led the league in Penalties drawn per 60 minutes by a nice margin:

7/19/2011 12:30:00 PM

Yeah, it's too bad the webmaster who chooses the matchups on game nights. They should really let the coach do that, even if it's Mo.

7/19/2011 12:30:27 PM

Perhaps I thought those were handed in by someone with some say, not just a web master

7/19/2011 1:23:00 PM

the coaches don't know who's going to make the roster out of camp yet, but you're treating the lines on the website...in July...as gospel? Especially when you know after 7 shifts of game 1, ol' dipshit behind the bench is gonna slot Chad on Staal's line for some dumb fucking reason.

7/19/2011 1:39:26 PM

Well, I think it's safe to say that LaRose will be on lines 1 AND 3.

7/20/2011 8:11:36 AM

Chad larose is treated as a quantum mechanical particle. Paul maurice has him on all lines.

7/20/2011 12:20:22 PM

Good thing he is a lifer then.

it's not technically Hurricanes related, but every chance I can find a reason to mention how big a piece of shit Jack Johnson is, I'm going to take advantage:

Rutherford is looking like a goddamn genius for getting rid of Jack Johnson and his lunatic father. We should have drafted Marc Staal, though.

Just bought Season Tickets for the first time ever today, did the 9.99/game promo. 313L, here we come - 43 times!

Guy that sold the tickets over the phone stated the tickets at that price are roughly 85% sold out.

Allow me to copy and paste an email I received.

"Jonathan, I hope that this email finds you doing well and getting geared up for another exciting season of hockey @ the RBC Center! With the continued leadership of Cam Ward and Eric Stahl along side rookie of the year Jeff Skinner the 2011-2012 season is poised for an exciting season. I wanted to touch base with you to let you know that we still have limited availability in great seats for Full Season, 26 game pack and 3 different variations of our 12 game package. Also, for the first time we have blocked off a special priced Full Season package called the "Fanzone" which has been an extremely exciting and positive price point addition. If you are interested in rejoining the Carolina Hurricanes family for the 2011-2012 season, please contact me so that we can secure your seats in the best locations still available. Again, I hope that this email finds you doing well and as always, thank you for your support of your Carolina Hurricanes! GO CANES!

Pathetic...

Also, its been five fucking years since we won the Stanley Cup... is it really necessary to put "2006 Stanley Cup Champions" in your email signature? makes us look like a joke. That shit should have been removed upon the awarding of the Cup to the ducks in 07

saw a report where Josef Vasicek was on the KHL plane that crashed

9/7/2011 10:28:54 AM

Among the NHL alumni on Lokomotiv's roster as of Aug. 31: Josef Vasicek, Pavol Demitra(notes), Karel Rachunek, Ruslan Salei(notes), Karlis Skrastins(notes) and Red Wings goalie prospect Stefan Liv.

Former Detroit Red Wings and Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Brad McCrimmon was listed as their head coach.

That's insane... and sad

9/7/2011 10:31:55 AM

Wow this is crazy. What a sad day. Russian air travel has never been anywhere near as up to the standards of it here, but regardless this is tragic.

RIP Czech Condor, hopefully there is a lot of your favorite food, meat, waiting for you.

Will never forget the game where he came back from a 5 month knee injury against the Caps at RBC and scored 2 goals and 2 assists in a 6-5 win. I thought it was the beginning of a legend, but he didn't score a single more point in the season or playoffs. One of my favorite players from that 2002 run. RIP.
