Or, gain a basic understanding of the game of hockey as well as the ability to shut the fuck up for more than 2 seconds at a time

12/27/2008 10:09:25 PM

well..... the 3rd period was entertaining, but not fulfilling.

12/27/2008 10:11:19 PM

its tough to loose like that.

hats off to the hundreds of fans that left with 2 minutes to go when we were down by 1...chapel hill is 25 miles to the west, I'm sure they'd love to have you

DRAMA
HAS COME

TO 328

12/28/2008 2:30:43 PM

the drama in 328 was when i turned around and went ballistic on a racist fuck who wouldn't shut up about weekes

he had his season tickets switched to the other side of the arena a week later

12/28/2008 2:52:17 PM

Very brief summary:

Guy sits directly behind me (I am row J seat 10). This is the second or third game he has been there; before I brushed it off as a single game ticket purchase, but he (and what I presume to be his wife) must have a 12 game pack or something.

Yells at the team for the entire game without stopping for even a single second (one of those kinds of people who is incapable of sitting quiet). Everything he yells about demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge of how the game is played (he's also one of those people who screams "SHOOOOOT" the entire powerplay). You would also think the team is the worst in the league by the way he dogs on every player, until of course the team scores a goal when he suddenly becomes their biggest fan.

Good job Cully
Good job Whitney
COME ON PITKANEN
WHAT KIND OF A CALL WAS THAT? SUCKER
SHOOOOOOT
YOU SUCK BABCHUK
HIT SOMEBODY
Good job Whitney
Good job Walker
Nice Walker

BRING BACK LAVIOLETTE
YOU SUCK PITKANEN
GET BABCHUK OFF THE ICE
WHAT A GOAL BABCHUK WOOOOO

12/28/2008 2:56:54 PM

I hae the shoooooot on every powerplay. Drives me, half the time it would be a blocked shot.

12/28/2008 3:03:15 PM

I really like when the puck goes to the point, especially the center point on an umbrella, and there's three guys in the lane and people are yelling "SHOOOOOOT" just because there's ten feet of open space directly in front of the puck.

All of the most annoying game experiences I have ever had have been in 328. Next year I'm either going to have to move out of the section or hope a seat opens up down in the lower rows.

12/28/2008 3:17:41 PM

hopefully i'll have a real job next year and can go back to full seasons and reclaim my lower seats if not lower

i haven't had any awful experiences in row G, but to be honest i think i've only spent one entire game there since seats in B/C/D/E always open up

12/28/2008 3:20:30 PM

what the fuck.

Kaberle waived.

12/29/2008 1:09:07 PM

wtf

Well I guess I cursed him by getting that game 7 puck he signed for Christmas...

This is kind of upsetting to me. I would have been okay with him being traded and us getting some value, but not this. I guess Mo's enthusiasm for Babchuk should have been the writing on the wall for someone, and it's no surprise that it's Frank given his contract.

12/29/2008 1:35:37 PM

why couldn't we at least get a draft pick or two out of him

12/29/2008 1:41:03 PM

really. I mean surely someone should be willing to part with a 3rd or 4th rounder for him.

12/29/2008 1:46:19 PM

How could anyone have enthusiasm for Babchuk.........???????

12/29/2008 1:47:17 PM

Because he's big (6-5, 212 pounds), young (24), has a bomb of a shot, and was a first round pick (21st overall) who still has great potential.

12/29/2008 1:49:24 PM

^those are pretty damn good reasons. I happen to agree with the enthusiasm for the Anton Bomb

12/29/2008 1:50:14 PM

^^^ he scored cleanly from 60 feet away on (incomprehensibly) one of the best goalies in the league

12/29/2008 1:59:57 PM

We couldn't even get a bag of pucks for Kaberle? I for one wont miss him too much. He has been a disappointment for two plus years and this sends a message to the rest of the team that they need to step it up. Hopefully Babchuk plays out of his mind now that he'll get more minutes.

12/29/2008 4:59:30 PM

Kaberle since coming back from his injury was not the same as he was at the beginning of the year. I wish him the best wherever he goes as he did score the winning goal in Game 7 (which I cheered loudly for from 314). I think this gives more of a chance for the young guys to step in and hopefully contribute right away (Carson I think in particular since he did pretty well). It'll be interesting moving forward, hopefully this is a cap clearing move so that we can make a splash, but who knows. Time will tell, but Kaberle hasn't been the same since 05-06 and was near getting back to it before breaking his ankle.

Can't wait to leave NY for the holidays and get back in time for the St. Louis game, especially since they'll be sans-Kariya, woot.

Oh and Boychuk has already scored for Team Canada, woot.

12/29/2008 8:38:59 PM

Still waiting on anything that counters the fact he has been one of our biggest defensive liabilities all season, unless I just happen to only pay attention when he's constantly turning the puck over in both the defensive and neutral zones with half ass attempts at clears/passes that lead to oddman rushes and easy goals.

And that goal from the blue line? Congrats, he had an entire half of the net open to unload on.

For being so big (isn't average ~6'1 205lbs anyway??), he certainly plays small.

12/29/2008 9:07:49 PM

^are you talking about Babchuk or Kaberle being that size? B/c Kaberle is 6'1", but sub 200 lbs.

and for having half the net open on Babs' shot?? not so much.

12/29/2008 9:30:12 PM

kabs cleared waivers
which is good now cause wallin may not be ready to go yet

12/30/2008 7:54:54 PM

Zach Boychuk:
3 GP, 3 G, 3 A, +7 (7th in tournament scoring)

Drayson Bowman:
3 GP, 3 G, +3

Michal Jordan:
3 GP, 1 A, -2

12/30/2008 10:53:14 PM

Boychuk just scored his fourth of the tourney with Canada scoring 4 straight after USA jumped out to a 3-0 lead and now Canada leads 4-3.

12/31/2008 11:10:08 PM

fantastic entire game from samsonov

and hot damn did corvo get all of that one

1/1/2009 4:10:19 AM

I think Sergei's performance last night cements my purchase of a THAMTHONOV jersey.

1/1/2009 5:17:01 PM

So last night was my first time going to a game in the Lexus VIP section. Everything was awesome, the free all you can eat buffet, leather seats and great view. But it would have been nice if the people around me gave a damn for the game. Just about everybody who sat around us either left halfway or came in halfway and maybe 2 people were wearing any hurricanes garb let alone colors.

1/1/2009 6:31:15 PM

Yeah you'll find that shit in those snooty kind of seats. You want real fans you gotta hit the upper deck for the most part and pockets of the lower.

1/1/2009 7:43:49 PM

looks like boychuck's impressive tournament has taken a detour...

ankle injury

http://tsn.ca/world_jrs/story/?id=261602&lid=sublink01&lpos=headlines_main

1/1/2009 7:53:06 PM

This is the month to watch I think to find out if this is really a playoff team. Mo says the team did good things in December, but didn't get some of the results they should have, and had a tough schedule. I happen to agree with him, but we'll see how true that is this month, because most of the opponents are teams on paper that we should beat. If we want to have a good year we have to beat the teams we should beat (which we did the last 2 games against Atlanta), then just give it our best against the great teams and hope to win a few.

This month's schedule:

Fri Jan 2, 2009 vs. St. Louis
Sat Jan 3, 2009 at Tampa Bay
Tue Jan 6, 2009 vs. New Jersey
Thu Jan 8, 2009 at Florida
Sat Jan 10, 2009 at Boston
Tue Jan 13, 2009 at Ottawa
Thu Jan 15, 2009 vs. Toronto
Sat Jan 17, 2009 at Buffalo
Mon Jan 19, 2009 at Toronto
Tue Jan 20, 2009 at Pittsburgh
Tue Jan 27, 2009 at NY Rangers
Thu Jan 29, 2009 vs. Tampa Bay
Sat Jan 31, 2009 vs. Atlanta

Unfortunately, 8 of the 13 games are on the road, but I stand by my words. 9 of those 13 games we should be going into with the expectation of winning.

1/2/2009 8:47:49 AM

I agree with you in that 9 of 13 are definitely win-able. It's a shame we couldn't get Pittsburgh this week since they've been playing pretty awful of late. Can't wait until tonight's game haven't been in town for a game since Bobblehead Night, so hopefully the 'Canes begin the New Year like they ended it with a W.

1/2/2009 2:59:15 PM

woot, gonna be there tonight, 125-A (thanks to my dad's coworker's season tickets) resurrecting the white kapanen jersey.

i'll see if i can snap some good pictures while i'm at the glass, perhaps an up close shot of scott walker's PISSED face.

1/2/2009 4:09:56 PM

^^^we actually play a little better on the road so I welcome the road games.

1/2/2009 4:13:54 PM

^^126 F

1/2/2009 5:17:20 PM

let's get another one Staalsy whoooooooooooooooo

1/2/2009 8:27:46 PM

Hooray Babchuk getting the winning goal. Great game, but I must say there were some annoying fans there tonight in section 314. People who believe they are "Know-it-alls" but really know nothing about hockey annoy me beyond belief. The one that got me the most was "Why is Staal wasting all of that time down there in the corner, we need another goal instead of keeping it in the corner". This was said with ~1 minute left, and I was thrilled with Staal's play in the corner and killing all the time he did.

I wish Maurice would play the Cullen line more, they were by far the best line (in my opinion) tonight. Cullen's play of late really makes me wish that he was on the power play as he has been winning more faceoffs of late than Brind'amour (whom I'd be glad was off the power play in place of Cullen).

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Eaves, I heard he had an upper body injury, but don't recall him disappearing. Hopefully Conboy will be brought up soon, but Brookbank it looks like will be traveling to Tampa for the game tomorrow now more than likely.

1/2/2009 10:12:25 PM

1/2/2009 11:52:32 PM

Maybe 7 defensemen tomorrow since Wallin is supposedly going to be ready. Good win tonight; what else can you say about Ward? The man has been getting grief since the Cup run, but has been gradually improving, and seems to have finally become a true #1 goalie. (Now that I've said that he will probably give up 5 tomorrow night in Tampa)

Don't look now but Sergei Samsonov has 5 points in his last 2 games, and 21 points in 28 games after starting the season with 10 straight goose eggs.

1/2/2009 11:55:31 PM

So I watched the game tonight at Red Hot and Blue and while I was there I remember my friend noting how hot she thought Corvo was...well, I got home and I looked at his wikipedia and lo and behold:

Quote :

"Restaurant incident Corvo was arrested in November 2002 in Boston after he grabbed a 34-year-old woman's buttocks in a restaurant. Restaurant staff told him to leave, but Corvo returned, punched the woman and then kicked her when she fell to the ground, police said. Corvo was given a three-year suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to assault. Corvo was also suspended for three games by the Kings.[3]"

1/3/2009 12:15:18 AM

why would you complain about getting your ass grabbed by Corvo?

Whitney can grab my ass all day.

1/3/2009 12:22:10 AM

hahaha..I was just kinda like about the punching and kicking..I mean, DAMN.

1/3/2009 12:23:31 AM

Yeah apparently he had a bit of an anger management issue in his younger days
