PEACE OUT CHADWICK

Goodbye Chadwick

SEE YA!

JR probably resigns him for far too much

4/11/2011 1:53:00 PM

I didn't realize how well Harrison handles interviews.

4/11/2011 3:24:10 PM

Harrison is incredible at interviews.

I really hope we keep him around. He's in love with the organization, he's got an amazing attitude (not being a career AHL player makes him grateful), and he said he feels like there's something special happening here and he hopes to be a part of it.

I have a man crush on Jay.

4/11/2011 4:03:13 PM

Yeah, I've got a better apreciation for him after that interview. That was pretty killer.

If you think that Marc Crawford is an upgrade over MO, you need to follow a different sport. Serious.

4/12/2011 9:29:06 PM

4/12/2011 9:30:11 PM

Cup or not, all you need to know about Marc Crawford is that he tried really hard to make Dan Cloutier work.

4/12/2011 9:34:59 PM

Every time I hear Cloutier I think of Dave Coulier (sp?) from Full House... which seems about right.

4/12/2011 9:45:26 PM

Coulier is almost certainly a better hockey player.

4/12/2011 9:47:53 PM

maybe try mls?

4/12/2011 9:51:46 PM

yep following MLS would be great, it will help Mo sell his house faster. gotta know your comps and shit.

4/12/2011 9:54:34 PM

how do offsides work?

4/12/2011 9:55:58 PM

I'm not familiar with offsides (plural). I'm pretty good on offsides (singular).

You did this tired routine about three pages ago, remember?

4/12/2011 9:58:01 PM

mls - catch the FEVER

"RALEIGH, NC – The National Hockey League today announced that Carolina Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner has been selected as one of three finalists for the 2010-11 Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year. The winner of the award will be announced at the 2011 NHL Awards, which will be held at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas on June 22. The other finalists for the Calder Trophy are San Jose Sharks forward Logan Couture and New York Islanders forward Michael Grabner."

4/19/2011 12:11:42 PM

no shock there

4/19/2011 12:36:52 PM

nope. btw the press release, skinner sounded less awesome than he was.

they needed to emphasize that he played ona line with tuomo ruutu, who spends 50% of his time over committing to checks, 40% falling on his ass, and 10% doing offense things.

4/19/2011 2:36:42 PM

^false.

I'm disappointed in your Ruutu ignorance

4/19/2011 4:20:56 PM

classicmixup is right

it's 40% hunting for hits, 50% falling on ass

i think he and cole switched bodies

4/19/2011 7:17:41 PM

How common is it for hockey teams to get new jerseys? Any chance we get a new one, or a new alternate, for next year? I'm still surprised they haven't created one with "CANES" across the front yet.

4/19/2011 7:17:53 PM

It's not common unless there's public outcry about hating the current one (see the short life of the Slug jerseys). I can't ever see our main two changing drastically, or the current third becoming a main jersey (like Philly early last decade with the black or Atlanta with the blueberry yogurt jersey), but we might get a different third a few years down the road.

4/19/2011 7:23:31 PM

Some teams seem to do changes every so often... isles and oilers come to mind

4/19/2011 7:31:55 PM

And the Ducks, Stars, Coyotes, Predators, Blue Jackets, Canucks, Capitals, Kings.... have all changed recently

Even the Canes have had some minor changes in the jerseys.... But like vinyl said, I don't really see us stemming away from what we have too much

Interesting article in ESPN mag about Corsi Stats if anyone wants to search that.

[Edited on April 19, 2011 at 8:11 PM. Reason : Corsi]

4/19/2011 8:09:27 PM

all the real recent changes were results of the transition to the EDGE uniform system. everyone had some minor tweak, unless you were like Original 6

which EDGE flopped, because the players hated it, and reebok snuck in EDGE 2.0, which is basically slimmer cuts of the old material, with the new stuff as gusseting.

4/19/2011 8:18:07 PM

Sure, there are changes every 6-10 years for most teams, but compared to basketball or soccer teams that change something on the uniform every year, hockey's pretty static.

The only changes I can think of to the Canes' main uniforms are the number font/font trim changes after Greensboro and the waist flags getting slightly larger when the league mandated THC jerseys for all the teams. The piping that got added to the Edge jersey was also essentially league-mandated to highlight the new cut; I think they were being forced to change something and that was the smallest change they could get away with.

4/19/2011 8:18:32 PM

correct on the piping.

and FWIW, there were other black concepts drawn up coming out of the lockout that were seriously considered. one was a "Carolina" word mark, one was a "Canes" word mark... iirc... one was script, one was like the colorado "COLORADO"

[Edited on April 19, 2011 at 8:24 PM. Reason : .]

4/19/2011 8:22:20 PM

i think the main reason we got what we did is that they've had crest size gale flag patches made up since 2003

there were some ugly ass practice jerseys with those crests made during the lockout

4/19/2011 8:25:38 PM

its a good logo, im ok with their choice. not sure how i would have taken a word mark uni.
