He was money last year in the AHL in shootouts




Traded Tom Kostopoulos, Darren Haydar (picked up on waivers), and a 5th rounder at the deadline in NHL 10 to get this bastard back from Columbus

but brindamour's slow ass, really? I'm baffled.

11/17/2009 10:35:31 PM

There is no explaining that one.

ah ok, i was unaware. makes more sense, though i'm still kinda surprised.

but yeah, brindamour shooting 3rd was ridiculous

11/17/2009 10:37:02 PM

^^^^ what?

11/17/2009 10:38:39 PM

really would have liked to see sutter

11/17/2009 10:41:14 PM

For what it's worth, I am confident that when Staal and Ward are back this team is going to start playing decent hockey. .500 hockey at least. Unfortunately, they have already killed their playoff chances (they would probably need to win at least 40 of the remaining 63 games), so all it is going to do is move them away from the top draft picks.

11/17/2009 10:44:19 PM

I think maurice was literally "playing not to lose" in the shootout... Why else would you send Brind'amour ahead of whitney cullen samsonov

I wonder if he knows ties don't exist anymore?

^^ I am okay with the shootout choices. He knew that if Brind'Amour and Rodney missed we would have another crack at it. You have to mix it up at some point

In '06-07, the Hurricanes had exactly one shootout goal. It was scored by Rod Brind'Amour.

Seguin now ranked ahead of Hall in first scouting rankings


both of them are on fire

11/18/2009 11:37:08 AM

Which ranking is that? ISS's latest (November 16) has Hall 1st still.

Nevermind, I see that it's Central Scouting

Manny's mask. Honors Wesley, Francis, Chaisson, and Howe.

11/19/2009 1:59:30 PM

that Iwo Jima picture with the troops raising the Hurricanes flag is pretty awful

and by awful, I mean one of the worst things I've ever seen

11/19/2009 2:26:34 PM

didnt even notice that.

the rest of the mask is pretty sweet

11/19/2009 2:57:32 PM

definitely not the worst thing ive ever seen but not pretty

11/19/2009 5:08:42 PM

it's no john "i got this helmet at wings, free with purchase of a big johnson shirt" grahame

11/19/2009 5:18:54 PM

fuuuuuuck

61 seconds in

11/19/2009 7:10:19 PM

nice play Corvo

I knew he had been playing really well, but Sutter looks like far and away our best player on the ice

It will be interesting to see what they do with him when Staal comes back. It should be 2nd line roll with Cullen on 3rd and Brindy 4th or the bench

11/19/2009 9:50:25 PM

WOOOOO BEAP FUCKING BEAP

11/19/2009 9:52:22 PM

if it was against anybody other than the Leafs I would say that's going to be the spark.......

11/19/2009 10:15:23 PM

then come back. me want hall!

11/19/2009 10:40:20 PM

11/19/2009 10:40:39 PM

Me before 1 second left: "Damn you Cole, get hit cleanly (from my POV, didnt see a replay, was at the game), start a fight, and get ass kicked, get penalty, PP goal for Leafs "

After 1 second left: "OMG I <3 U ERIK "

11/19/2009 10:45:53 PM

umm, that bobblehead looks more like bush. on a side note, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

11/19/2009 10:47:56 PM

hahaha holy shit it does

11/19/2009 10:48:27 PM

fuck everyone that left

how many times do the hurricanes have to make a last second comeback like that for people to learn not to leave early? they do it at least 2 or 3 times a season. (sometimes the 3 goal down comeback, sometimes the last minute goal, or sometimes both, like tonight.)

i'd have like to have had a camera on the parking lot for when people who were and weren't listening to it realized it was headed to OT

11/19/2009 11:40:59 PM

we always seem to be able to pull the goalie and score against Toronto

[Edited on November 19, 2009 at 11:42 PM. Reason : beer]

11/19/2009 11:42:19 PM

Good confidence/character building win, even though it was against Toronto.

11/20/2009 12:23:46 AM

lol our comebacks against toronto the past two years have been pretty epic

seriously though

i hope we keep shitting the bed

unless of course this is the start of the mythological Cthulu of all winning streaks

[Edited on November 20, 2009 at 1:09 AM. Reason : and i will happily attend said shit festivals. ME WANT HALL. OR SEGUIN. OR FOWLER.]

11/20/2009 1:08:50 AM

haha

11/20/2009 1:14:20 AM

also, goddamn Ruutu was the man tonight.

glad we locked him up.

11/20/2009 1:23:30 AM

^x6 I was saying the same thing. How little hockey (especially carolina) do you watch that you would leave a 1 goal game early? I loved when they had cameras on people coming back down to their seats on the big screen, idiots.

11/20/2009 9:23:55 AM

moar finns plz

11/20/2009 10:33:31 AM

the highlights on nhl.com are from TSN, man they tell it like it is

after the leafs go up 2-0 they point out how legace failed

after 3-0 they said the canes deserved to be booed

11/20/2009 10:38:24 AM
