I'm pretty much apathetic about these. I don't care for the stripe, but having seen all of the other teams, I am happy with them.

i like the stripe on the white unis, but not so much on the reds.

9/6/2007 7:56:23 PM

LET THERE BE ICE!

[Edited on September 9, 2007 at 2:56 PM. Reason : damn they must be able to do that quick, that wasn't there any more than 12 hours ago]

[Edited on September 9, 2007 at 2:59 PM. Reason : never mind, reading now it takes a little longer than that, they must have froze the cam]

9/9/2007 2:56:17 PM

Could they not find a fourth sponsor?

9/10/2007 3:59:09 PM

was just wondering this

They need it to determine when to calling icing?

9/10/2007 4:16:52 PM

It's also illegal for a goaltender to touch the puck on the opposite side of the red line.

Just because two-line passes are now legal, it doesn't mean the red line is obsolete.

9/10/2007 4:20:37 PM

I never knew that. Has a goalie ever been pulled in the second period for a delayed penalty and accidentally touched the puck while skating to the bench?

9/10/2007 4:24:50 PM

i meant just through the logo, and have it still sorta visible through the logo to the people on the ice, like the logos on basketball courts sometimes.. but i see what you mean, i just kinda hate it split up like that, but it looks cool

9/10/2007 4:28:14 PM

The center court line doesn't need to be all that visible to call ten seconds or over-and-back, but it's harder to judge from the blue line whether or not you're going to call icing...plus, the gale flags look badass.

3 days until camp opens! Looks like everything is at the RBC Center this year instead of the RecZone.

" RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -The Carolina Hurricanes look much like they did 15 months ago when they won their first Stanley Cup. Center Matt Cullen is back in the fold after a season away, and several key members of that championship team re-signed before reaching some form of free agency. Now with preseason camp starting later this week, the Hurricanes hope they'll play like they did during the spring of 2006. "We got better. We didn't lose anyone," captain Rod Brind'Amour said Tuesday during the team's media day. "You look at all the other teams, they kind of seemed to disperse a little bit. That right away makes us better." They'll have to be better to erase what Brind'Amour called "a colossal failure" last season, when the Hurricanes became just the third team to miss the playoffs a year after winning the Cup. First, Carolina re-signed forward and team MVP Ray Whitney, defenseman Glen Wesley and Conn Smythe Trophy winning goalie Cam Ward. Then, they worked out a deal with the New York Rangers for Cullen, the instrumental third-line center on the Cup championship team whom the Hurricanes spent an entire season trying to replace. "He fit in real well with us two years ago, and I'm sure he'll get right back with the swing of things," center Eric Staal said. Indeed, Cullen's most important quality might not be his scoring touch - he was the Rangers' fifth-leading scorer last season with 41 points - but his familiarity with the Hurricanes, with whom he had career highs of 25 goals and 49 points in 2005-06. "There's no transition period" for Cullen, Brind'Amour said. "There's no 'What does he have to do?' We know him, and I think that'll be smooth. And the fact that we didn't do well last year has got a little fire under us." Those rowdy Caniacs couldn't wait for last season to begin because they hoped the momentum of the Cup run would spill over. But the players say they're more eager to get back on the ice this season, mainly because they've had five long months to rest, heal and stew over their shortcomings. From the season-opening shootout loss to Buffalo to the too-little-too-late overtime win over Florida that ended the year - and the 80 other games in between - Carolina was only briefly fully healthy and as a result never seemed able to rediscover the magic of the previous season. Now they've had plenty of time to heal their lingering injuries and are hoping for a fast start. "Obviously, it's different, but it's a good different because it's all business now," Brind'Amour said. "We don't have to deal with talking about the past - 'What did you do with your day (with the Cup)?' (or) 'You've got to do this event,' which takes away from what you're trying to do, which is this season. We don't have any of that, and because we didn't have any success last year, it might have been a blessing because it was a huge wake-up (call) for all of us. Let's buckle down and right from the start, not wait five, 10, 20 games to get going.""

Brindamour: It's All business.

9/12/2007 9:03:27 PM

I see a Zamboni

9/12/2007 10:23:37 PM

^^ He'll be awesome. He used to be the PA announcer for the Icecaps, he loves hockey, and he's a people person of the highest order.

^ An Olympia, donchaknow.

9/12/2007 10:23:53 PM

Yeah yeah yeah people always say that to me. I'll still call it a Zamboni and I'll still call my generic brand box of tissues Kleenex.

9/12/2007 10:29:58 PM

Maybe, but as someone who has driven both, they're really fucking different.

9/12/2007 10:37:24 PM

and i've driven both too...and i still call 'em a zamboni/zam/boner...so go easy on the guy you ginger!

9/12/2007 10:39:05 PM

I know, I know...just felt like being a hardass after a long day.

9/12/2007 10:41:47 PM

well thats good, i thought most people couldn't stand him for anything


and it looks like they bring the zamboni or whatever you want to call it out a bunch of times a day for the new ice
