Maurice's tenure/history with the organization and the weirdness wrapped up in it goes a lot further than JR.

11/8/2011 10:29:31 AM

Also, maurice is the 2nd coach to be fired and re-hired by this organization

11/8/2011 10:59:43 AM

Top 5 GM's don't keep a cheerleader on the team because of what they bring to the locker room. LaRose wouldn't pull anywhere near his salary on another NHL team.

who?

11/8/2011 11:10:29 AM

You realize LaRose is one of our only consistent players at the moment, yes?

And lol plenty of NHL players make too much money for what they do. Ever hear of Jeff Finger?

No? This is my shocked face.

At the moment, yes. As mentioned earlier, he isn't worth what he is making. Never will be. Larose is a cross between Sean Avery and Jeff Skinner with nowhere near the talent of either.

I don't know who the coach is that's been re-hired other than Maurice... but how many times have they tinkered with O'Neill and Cole? Matt Cullen? Glen Wesley? Ron Francis? I am not suggesting they are all bad moves, some were actually good moves. However, the organization has a history of bringing back fan favorites that is unparalleled by any other pro sports organization.

I am certainly not suggesting JR be fired, the point I was making was that ALL of the blame should not be on PoMo. JR should be getting a wag of the finger, and PoMo should be jobless.

I love Eric Staal, but he is not leading this team at the moment. I think the 'C' needs to go to Gleason.

11/8/2011 5:09:43 PM

yeah, rip the C from Staal, I'm sure that will fix things

11/8/2011 5:10:18 PM

Well I didn't suggest that it be the only thing.

11/8/2011 7:38:24 PM

holy shit what a spinorama skinner almost had

god that kid is filthy

11/8/2011 7:52:12 PM

i was wondering earlier today if it is possible to say "spin" in a hockey context without adding "-orama" to it

11/8/2011 7:54:55 PM

unpossible

[Edited on November 8, 2011 at 7:55 PM. Reason : it's all anyone can do to at least not preface it with "savardian"]

11/8/2011 7:55:07 PM

Utter is absurdly accurate this year. What a fucking shot. That's not easy scoring on a pure shot like that..

He's been a great bright spot this season.

11/8/2011 7:57:23 PM

the season is young

sutter and skinner are playing their asses off, staal will find his game. hopefully before it is too late.

you guys know the drill.

11/8/2011 7:58:42 PM

Sutter is our best player, period. He's great defensively, is now deadly on breakaways and he has set up our guys for point blank goals that just aren't going in (thanks Tlusty and Larose). He is by far the best defensive forward and now is right there with Staal and Skinner in terms of scoring ability.

11/8/2011 8:46:01 PM

i bet it's not overturned but i don't think that's a good goal...

11/8/2011 8:52:16 PM

The answer to our problem is Anton Babchuk

11/8/2011 9:16:04 PM

what was that retardation

11/8/2011 9:58:01 PM

wow, larose with a kick save?!

as shitty as he was last year, i must admit he's doing well this year

11/8/2011 10:01:40 PM

11/8/2011 10:07:54 PM

This is a really bad team

11/8/2011 10:10:12 PM

What the fucking fuckity fuck

Agreed. Need some pimp hand action this week.

Maurice, per Chip Alexander twitter:

Quote :

"Of Staal with Skinner, LaRose: "I didn't see enough offense out of that line and I saw a lot of bad defense. I don't think it works.""

YA DON'T SAY

Also,

Quote :

"Jokinen will skate today with a few other players. Full practice tomorrow. Maurice said line decisions to be made then."

11/9/2011 10:32:43 AM

so Chip is hinting at some truly different line combos tomorrow night...very curious about that

11/10/2011 11:20:23 AM

Staal is with Poni and Boychuk tomorrow night. Hooray.

11/10/2011 12:15:19 PM

Well, at least Boychuk will finally get his opportunity.

11/10/2011 1:27:41 PM

Well this isn't his first time on the top line with Staal. But yeah, overdue for this year.

11/10/2011 2:02:59 PM

Stewart is being wasted on the 4th line

11/10/2011 2:16:55 PM

staal's on the all star ballot? 5 points and a -15?

crosby's on there too, at least he's even on the year

11/10/2011 4:45:15 PM

LOL

Trade coming down the pipe from Columbus. Vermette to Carolina a natural speculation...

11/10/2011 10:45:51 PM

please please please

11/11/2011 1:18:48 PM

It was just Kris Russel to St. Louis and potentially Nabokov to Columbus in another deal soon. False alarm.

11/11/2011 2:19:20 PM

okay, staal to boychuk power combo GO

11/11/2011 6:53:22 PM

11/11/2011 9:15:03 PM

Better fucking be maurice. Fuck him. Fuck.

11/11/2011 9:22:03 PM

So I hear this Maurice character better get out of town, huh?

11/11/2011 9:35:00 PM

mo must go

11/11/2011 10:40:03 PM

Shit is paaaathetic

11/11/2011 10:44:35 PM

Ok this may be a stupid question but normally I just park in the dirt lot on trinity or in the general lot by carter finley.

http://rbccenter.s3.amazonaws.com/doc/RBC_Parking_Map_General.pdf

Are the numbered lots (1000, 2000, etc.) for Canes games parking pass only or are these also pay lots? Planning to tailgate today with someone who has premier parking and trying to figure where is the closest I can park so I dont have to haul whatever I need too far.

11/12/2011 8:34:36 AM

I have a general pass which is the same zones as drive up parking. On the east side, 1000# spaces, premier and general share a lot, general just being the back three rows. Might want to consider that.

11/12/2011 9:34:39 AM

Yeah they will be on the west side so wanted to park in the 5000 or 6000 lot if I could just pay without a pass

11/12/2011 11:29:41 AM

brassard a healthy scratch in columbus tonight

11/12/2011 11:33:18 AM

Kinda hoping we lose tonight. I feel like two more losses would basically force JR's hand.

11/12/2011 2:55:00 PM

I'll be there so odds are good I finally got my first win last season but still 1 win out of a bunch of games isn't good
