"this trade would be a whole hell of a lot better if we didnt pick up that $2.75 mil/year contract attached to Corvo"

If he can contribute even remotely offensively, that contract is solid gold. On the free agent market, where GMs apparently lose all common sense and financial management skills, a decent puck moving defenseman will go for 4 or 5 million.

Kimmo Timonen $8 million
Bryan McCabe 7.15 million (LMAO)
Wade Redden $6.5 million
Sheldon Souray $6.25 million
Rob Blake $6 million
Brian Rafalski $6 million
Andrei Markov $5.75 million
Sergei Gonchar $5 million
Roman Hamrlik $5.5 million
Matthieu Schneider $5.5 million
Pavel Kubina $5 million
Adrian Aucoin $4 million
Sergei Zubov $4 million
Dan Boyle $3.625 million
Tom Poti $3.5 million
Marek Zidlicky $3.5 million
Paul Mara $3 million

etc etc

"What does Joe Sixpack want to watch: the Devils spank the Canes, or AO and Gaborik put on a danglefest?"

With my massive man crush on Marian Gaborik, I will be excited to get to watch him on TV, but a Wild trapfest, while very entertaining to me, isn't that thrilling. Really I don't have a problem with them showing this game instead of the Canes, but I think they should stick to what they schedule originally instead of screwing teams over 2 weeks before the game so that no one in either market can watch it.

when's cullen back again?

I don't yet know how to feel about this trade, we'll see

but if stiller comes back it's definitely worth it

2/11/2008 11:02:13 PM

^^


I think this was the face of the franchise, hence the cover.

yes and these parings are also called lines in the hockey world. Yes corvo was +16 in LA, but lets remember he was next to Rob Blake

2/12/2008 8:35:44 AM

actually hockey genius, rob blake was a member of the colorado avalanche in 05-06. unless corvo had an imaginary friend named rob blake, i dont see your point

2/12/2008 8:40:31 AM

you're right. i thought blake was there that season.

btw it is time for the wings to make that hossa trade theyve been talking about all year

2/12/2008 9:48:29 AM

They could've at least photoshopped teh Canes jersey on him:

2/12/2008 10:37:23 AM

lol at him wearing Paul Coffey's number

"Stillman leaves his wife Mara and three children behind in Raleigh where, if there's a fit this summer, he may return to re-sign with the Hurricanes as an unrestricted free agent. Stillman also believes in Ottawa's strength and has known for at least a month the possibility of this trade was strong. Ottawa was one of several teams to approach Carolina's Jim Rutherford with interest in the veteran forward and Rutherford didn't hide that interest from Stillman. The Hurricanes general manager kept an open communication with Stillman throughout the process and understood the only team Stillman would waive his no-trade for was the Senators."

Makes me think even more that he will be back next year

2/12/2008 2:46:58 PM

GOD I FUCKING HOPE HE COMES BACK

<3 you stillman

if we don't make the playoffs, i hope you get another chance to hoist the cup

2/12/2008 2:59:14 PM

and this will make the ottawa game on march 16th that more interesting

last out of division game, possible NBC game??, stillman/commodore and when was the last time we had an afternoon game at home? (other than the 5pm saturday game coming up on the 23rd)

2/12/2008 4:00:26 PM

I don't believe we had an afternoon game at all last season.

i'm pretty excited about it.

2/12/2008 4:05:09 PM

but WHY does it have to be around the same time as the ACC championship game

i'll probably be able to go to both, but if its just Duke/UNC i'm not going to that crap


AND THEN THERE WAS NEW ICE! (i think)

2/12/2008 7:19:20 PM

i'm watching the sopcast of the boston broadcast, these commentators are retahded, whining about the ladd redirect

2/12/2008 7:26:14 PM

They should be whining because that was a horribly blown call. There is no way that should have been allowed. In some ways I hope we blow them out so it doesn't matter, but then again I wouldn't mind winning by 1 just so I can laugh at Boston fans.

Actually, a win period would be nice.

2/12/2008 7:30:13 PM

Boston Sopcast link plz thx.

2/12/2008 7:48:22 PM

lol, the sopcast is doing highlights of a 10-and-under shootout

^ I sorta hoped my bf would take me to that game on Thursday for V-day. I don't think he is

But we won club level seats for saturday, so I can't bitch too much.

2/12/2008 10:37:35 PM

^Why don't you take him out,

don't sucker him into paying for that.

2/13/2008 10:25:16 AM

They need to get rid of the stupid kick rule. That's the only intelligent thing I've heard Tripp say.

2/13/2008 11:32:50 AM

It needs to stay in, but it also needs to be rewritten. You can't have a guy taking a three foot swing with his entire leg to kick a stationary puck into the net, but you should be able to bring your foot into a deflection to get it there in time.

Why not?

2/13/2008 1:41:03 PM

Because it's hockey, not soccer.

You can't power it in with any other part of your body, so why should you be able to power it in with your feet?

2/13/2008 1:45:36 PM

You can deflect it with your foot, body, knock it off the back of the goaltender, why not kick it too?

2/13/2008 2:21:48 PM

Clint Malarchuk
Richard Zednik

That's why. You can't have guys with razor sharp blades on their feet kicking around in a high traffic area.

2/13/2008 2:45:12 PM

Well that will teach them to stay on their feet.

2/13/2008 3:09:34 PM

I agree, I think kicking should not be allowed.

"The Hurricanes have opened contract talks with 2007 first-round draft pick Brandon Sutter in hopes of bringing him into the team when his junior season is over. “The door has been opened for negotiations to start,” Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford confirmed today, adding that the Canes project Sutter to play in the NHL next season. Sutter, a 6-foot-3, 174-pound center, plays for Red Deer of the Western Hockey League. He’s likely to be available to the Canes after March 15 if they can get him signed. As the 11th overall pick, he’s in line to get a three-year contract at the maximum entry-level salary of $875,000, but bonuses are always a point of discussion. Sutter has 21 goals and 22 assists in 47 games for Red Deer this season. Over the long term, it remains to be seen whether Sutter will be a productive offensive player in the NHL or a third-line defensive center. "

Too soon?
