Nice win for the Canes. I couldn't have asked for a better result. They certainly earned it.

To go Thursday or not to go, that is the question

2/26/2008 11:41:18 PM

me and the roommate decided to go last minute

gg us

and what's the gleason update? he didn't look too good after the hit

2/27/2008 4:59:57 AM

Hopefully both Ruutu and Gleason are OK for tomorrow. I couldn't fucking believe that high stick went uncalled.

Wellll, I can since Mick Mc-goddamn-Geough was one of the officials, but still.

2/27/2008 8:37:27 AM

I still haven't read any updates, but I think he'll be out a few games with a Concussion. No worries, he's been really good for us, but so has Borer and hopefully Seidenburg will be back soon.

holy shit, you could see the trail of blood clearly from vinylbandit's seats

but BEAP BEAP, the game was thrilling, one of the best that I've seen in awhile

2/27/2008 9:12:10 AM

Stanley Cup finals here we come. Just like '02. The underdog no one suspects.

2/27/2008 10:32:35 AM

^^^^^^
We were one of the NHL's best the entire Cup season, so I really wouldn't compare the two teams.

2/27/2008 10:36:35 AM

Nevermind, you said 02. I'm an idiot.

2/27/2008 10:37:16 AM

I wouldn't be so optimistic on Gleason... He almost definitely has a concussion, and we know how those can be.

2/27/2008 10:50:15 AM

apparently a concussion isn't much different from the famed Matt Cullen "illness"

2/27/2008 11:39:54 AM

When is Seidenburg coming back.

2/27/2008 12:52:39 PM

Seidenberg is supposed to be back in the next week or so, but he may get rushed in to offset Gleason(speculation)

2/27/2008 12:59:39 PM

^I hope not. They should call up Borer first and give Seidenburg time. He's had leg problems in the past.

2/27/2008 1:54:35 PM

thats true, they probably will call up borer if need be.

2/27/2008 1:58:54 PM

Ruutu was at practice today, but didnt participate since his left eye is swollen shut. The cut starts on his brow, angles out onto his left eyelid and runs down to the tip of his nose.

Fuck Elias

yeah, thats classic shit

"Wednesday, February 27, 2008 Canes awaiting word on Gleason At this moment, the Canes are still awaiting the results of Tim Gleason’s neurological tests to determine whether he has a concussion, but given his appearance after the injury and that he has a headache today, according to Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette, it certainly doesn’t look good. In all likelihood, the Hurricanes will be without the player who has been their best defenseman over the past month when they take on Jaromir Jagr and the Rangers on Thursday. Either way, Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford said, the Canes won’t call anyone up and will use Tim Conboy on defense. “We’ll go with the guys we have,” Rutherford said. Gleason was injured in the first period of Tuesday’s win when he was hit from behind into the end boards by Mike Rupp, who received a boarding penalty on the play. A woozy Gleason had to be helped from the ice between two teammates. The real shame of Gleason’s injury is the timing. Gleason has been playing what may be the best hockey of his career, with a plus-11 rating and five points in his past 16 games. In four recent games against the Atlanta Thrashers and Washington Capitals, two against each, Gleason and defensive partner Bret Hedican held Ilya Kovalchuk and Alex Ovechkin off the scoreboard. “I think it’s been longer than two weeks,” Rutherford said recently. “I’m not suggesting it’s been two years, but it’s certainly been over the last 6-8 weeks I’ve seen him take his game to another level. “With defensemen, they take longer to develop and get that confidence. At the point where he is, he’s just playing with more confidence than he ever has.” Posted at 01:21 pm by Luke DeCock in General Lord Stanley's Blog"
