We "should" beat the Isles tonight and move into the 8 spot, finally

Didn't realize we're actually 8th in the league in goals per game

1/26/2011 9:19:08 AM

Saw on Canes Country that Skinner has been added to the ASG roster. Hells yeah.

1/26/2011 10:10:22 AM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

EVEN MORE PUMPED AS SHIT.

1/26/2011 10:17:37 AM

Canes d-man Jamie McBain will take the rookie spot vacated by Jeff Skinner at #NHLAllStar Weekend:

WOOO

I doubt this comment from Travis will last long on the Canes FB page:

1/26/2011 9:20:34 PM

Do we get Queso, or is it only home games?

1/26/2011 9:47:48 PM

home games.

i'm sure they'd say something if it was both

[Edited on January 26, 2011 at 9:58 PM. Reason : only scored 4 anyway]

[Edited on January 26, 2011 at 10:11 PM. Reason : oops: RT @KyleHanlin: Canes stuck on Long Island.]

1/26/2011 9:57:49 PM

lol oops, i was just so pumped for queso since i forgot mine yesterday

1/26/2011 11:11:28 PM

Someone set us up the 20 wins after the break Playoff Mo-Meter. Because that's probably what it's going to take.

1/27/2011 12:59:25 AM

Agree - 20 wins should do it:

An article in the philadelphia inquirer says that the flyers might be targeting Cole.
Sorry no linky.

1/27/2011 9:11:57 PM

Sounds like typical Hurricanes trading. We'll trade Cole for a few games and then get him back in the offseason. Who knows, maybe we can three-way this and get BABCHUK back!!!

Quote :

" Skinner appeared in "Death to Smoochy," a dark comedy released in 2002 about a corrupt children's television host (Williams) who is replaced (by Norton) and plots a way to return. The movie, despite a strong cast, received poor reviews. "It didn't do too well," Skinner said, smiling. Skinner, who was 9 during the filming, one was of the extras selected to skate with other kids in the movie, some of which was filmed in Toronto, near his home in Markham, Ont. Skinner wears a mask and dinosaur costume and did not get a credit."

1/27/2011 10:28:48 PM

There's no way JR trades Cole to Lavi.

It would take a lot.

1/27/2011 10:34:29 PM

lol Backyard Bistro was standing room only by 5:30 for Canes Corner w/ Skinner. He had bodyguards.

obvs the new Justin Bieber

1/27/2011 10:37:01 PM

something about a prom date?

1/27/2011 10:56:04 PM

backyard bistro was hopping last night... wasn't one of the 30 picked... try #2 at getting my jersey signed today. excited

1/28/2011 8:37:27 AM

Jesus Christ....

Listening to the audio with Jeff Skinner from Canes Corner, after every half-funny comment from Skinner you hear a gaggle of girls giggling their heads off

1/28/2011 11:22:09 AM

Was the reaction similar to the Jonas Bros episode of South Park?

1/28/2011 12:43:18 PM

did the dipshit conducting that "quiz" video really insist aaron and cam ward are brothers?

sad thing is, they were probably a bunch of 40-something year old housewives

1/28/2011 2:02:52 PM

I giggle at him too!

Regardless of standings, I love the Hurricanes. JR is doing it right.

1/31/2011 11:21:30 PM

okay.

serious hockey time. lets win some god damn hockey games.

For those at the game, what's your best guess on the % of fans in attendance who were Canes' fans?

1/31/2011 11:59:14 PM

^^ they're just mad they haven't won a cup since the 70s

^ i'm bad at estimating... a lot? ha, though we were in top-ish of 314 and there are a few non-canes fans around (bruins, rangers, pens)

2/1/2011 12:21:48 AM

troll jobs

I really hope 99.9 schedules an interview with him sometime this week

2/1/2011 12:44:35 AM

Unless there was some small pocket of fans he was near that chanted "boring" I think the dumbass Boston Herald writer mistook the "FLEUUUURRY" chant for boring.

The part of the article that disturbed me the most though was that Aaron Ward is considering coming out of retirement

Quote :

"For those at the game, what's your best guess on the % of fans in attendance who were Canes' fans? "

I would put it at around 70% and maybe more than that. There were a lot of other jerseys (and a lot of "suits") but fans had the Canes gear out in full force.

apparently Sutter posted a pic of Bieber over Skinner's locker today.

^Canes twitter said 3 hours ago that tickets were still available, hmm

2/1/2011 4:01:25 PM

i want to know where they got that from, i looked on ticketmaster last night and a couple of the corners were completely unsold.

lower bowl is basically gone though...
