i turn the channel for 5 minutes and it goes from 3-2 to 5-2 ?

11/20/2005 9:10:11 PM

Well that sucked

11/20/2005 9:26:21 PM

No scoring and no defense make Cam GO CRAZY.

11/20/2005 10:10:52 PM

Dear Craig Adams,

Please go away. You don't impress me. Just because you're buddies with Jason Karmanos doesn't make you NHL-caliber.

kkthx

11/20/2005 10:11:25 PM

You obviously didn't see Craig Adams making the hat trick for Kevyn on Thursday.

Today he didn't look too good, but no one not named Justin Williams or Ray Whitney did a damn thing tonight.

11/20/2005 10:16:23 PM

^no, I did see it, and I give him credit for that. unfortunately, his cons outweigh his pros. he has more off-nights than on. I'd like to see someone else called up (e.g. LaRose) and given a chance instead of him.

[/my 2 cents]

11/20/2005 10:26:13 PM

I agree about LaRose deserving a call, but Craig's got more business being here than Ladd right now. Ladd had some nice hits, but he was wholly ineffective as an offensive player. No one was working the surface laterally, but he wasn't even close.

11/20/2005 10:29:54 PM

watching the hurricanes play last night was like watching a dog trying to lick its own ass.....pathetic

11/21/2005 10:30:14 AM

ok..we're officially on a skid here...injuries really really demoralize the team. its time for other players to step up.

wheres the energy?

11/21/2005 12:51:53 PM

considering all that were scratched last night - Rod Brind'Amour, Josef Vasicek, Glen Wesley , & Niclas Wallin... All key players that would have made a big difference in last nights game.

Williams did play well but that was about it...
they started to wake up in the 2nd but then... nothing
attendance wasn't too great, and the stands started to clear out midway thru the 3rd. fairweather fans. maybe if they'd stay and make some noise rather than get up once they think its a lost game.

that midget St.Louis needed to be laid out last night. little fucker.

Throw Whitney (groin) and Ladd (knee) on to the pile of injured. On the upside, Wesley might be able to go tonight.

It's been seven years.

11/22/2005 1:40:25 AM

and weve been terrible 6 of those

11/22/2005 1:56:18 AM

Erm, we've had a winning record in four of those seven years, made the playoffs three times, won the division twice, and won the conference.

11/22/2005 2:05:48 AM

^^ umm, no.

11/22/2005 4:32:34 AM

I propose we revert back to page 8, when socrates said:

i've been a fan for 23 yrs
more if you count the Whalers games my mom went to when she was pregnant with me

who's going tonight?
i'll be in my normal section -130

[Edited on November 22, 2005 at 10:13 AM. Reason : lets go whalers]

11/22/2005 10:13:15 AM

I'll be there in 128. I can't wait! Go 'Canes!!!

11/22/2005 10:14:37 AM

Same seat as always for Boulerice v. McGrattan Rounds 3 and 4.

11/22/2005 4:13:42 PM

im just trolling/frustrated. i want car to be great

[Edited on November 22, 2005 at 6:49 PM. Reason : like detroit or something overnight]

11/22/2005 6:48:51 PM

Rough start, but Staal just put one in.

2-1 Senators

11/22/2005 7:27:17 PM

2-2

11/22/2005 7:35:16 PM

jesus those announcers are pissing me off. they whine about "diving" but dont' seem to give a shit the obvious ones aren't getting called.

11/22/2005 7:58:37 PM

3-3

11/22/2005 8:54:52 PM

Final 5-3 Ottawa...

11/22/2005 9:26:39 PM

first game of the season ive attended

lotta no-calls by the refs from what i remember

11/22/2005 11:25:13 PM

I was in 314. In the 3rd there was a BLATANT TRIP that was let go. It was just before Ottawa scored I believe as well...

11/22/2005 11:26:25 PM

Play was lethargic tonight...


really fuckin' lethargic

11/22/2005 11:27:54 PM

LE MOTHA FUCKIN THARGIC


aha our seats were in 314, we never made it there though

[Edited on November 22, 2005 at 11:29 PM. Reason : ]

11/22/2005 11:29:03 PM

303 all the way, lethargically speaking

11/22/2005 11:34:02 PM

^^ I had a good route to the Canadian beer so I figured 314 was OK... Could've moved to the lower level easy though..

11/22/2005 11:35:28 PM

I was in 124, sitting right next to a Senator's fan. But we didn't say a word, so it was all good. Except for the losing part.

[Edited on November 22, 2005 at 11:54 PM. Reason : .]

11/22/2005 11:37:57 PM

good god where to start...

the lethargy can be attributed to little rest ove the past few days. that and the shitty ice.

no calls galore.

and staal is a mother fuckin beast.

[Edited on November 23, 2005 at 1:35 AM. Reason : ]

11/23/2005 1:35:05 AM

the lethargic word is just an inside joke

this old guy behind us said it like 5 times in one sentence early on

11/23/2005 6:28:52 AM

the only time i saw inspired play last night was after staal scored that first goal. Then we got the 2nd pretty quickly because we were attacking. Our penalty kills last night were awful! Oh well, the first period was fun.

11/23/2005 9:18:30 AM

Vrbata has been playing his ass off the last 2 or 3 games.

11/23/2005 10:24:04 AM

Quote :

"Oh well, the first period was fun"

Fun, yes. But also lethargic. And that is the root of our problem.

11/23/2005 1:58:06 PM

BTW, just for the sake of hilarity:

There was a guy in front of me last night with his kid, and whenever the Spezza line was out or they touched the puck, he'd say something like, "Ohhhh, don't give the puck to those idiots!/morons!"

He also went bonkers because they didn't throw up a delayed penalty on Staal's goal, not because he didn't see the arm go up (it did, before the shot, thereby nullifying the penalty upon scoring), but because HE DIDN'T SEE GERBER TAKE OFF. The arm was up for a grand total of a second and a half.

11/23/2005 5:34:24 PM

Does anyone know if there is a Charlotte radio station that picks up Canes games? There aren't any listed at the official site, and the Charlotte station that used to broadcast them is now doing Bobcats games.

11/25/2005 7:10:06 PM

CANES TAKE 3-2 LEAD IN THIRD

11/25/2005 8:58:00 PM

nice win in the shootout 2 goals to none

11/25/2005 10:12:38 PM

how do shoot outs work? i thought it was 5 shots per team. maybe i'm thinkin of soccer

11/25/2005 10:13:20 PM

im not sure but maybe if you go up by 2 shots on equal shot attempts, its like winning by 2 in ping pong

11/25/2005 10:20:33 PM

^^from the rulebook on NHL.com:

Quote :

"Each team will be given three shots, unless the outcome is determined earlier in the shootout. After each team has taken three shots, if the score remains tied, the shootout will proceed to a "sudden death" format. No player may shoot twice until everyone who is eligible has shot."

11/25/2005 10:24:22 PM

man i woulda killed to see it on tv

11/25/2005 10:26:17 PM

Pretty good game by the Canes, especially with Stillman and T'sky out. Wesley looked good aside from two consecutive mistakes, and Brindy was Brindy. Staal had another of his patented blocker-side lasers, and both Vrbata and Cullen scored on beautiful backhand moves in the shootout (Vrby's was roofed, Cullen's had an extra dipsy and tucked in behind Tellqvist's skate).

gg Ladd on his first NHL goal, also.

11/26/2005 12:44:59 AM

awesome game tonight, tons of energy. Loved being down in the lower level behind the net.
