A guy in my office said ICE hockey today - it took all my willpower not to punch him in the face.

Oleg was supposed to be THE defenceman. What a sham/e

3/25/2009 2:12:02 PM

He started off pretty good if I recall.

Good interview with Cam Ward.

3/25/2009 3:40:40 PM

Same. My bottle is unopened and will also remain a display piece.

3/25/2009 4:11:04 PM

"porno bobblehead" lol. I'm guessing the guys gave Staal a fair amount of shit for his then.

3/25/2009 4:23:24 PM

my grandma almost sent me a bottle in the mail last year to my dorm.....tucker hall....i was 18 at the time.....good thing my dad stopped her....or bad thing?

3/25/2009 4:23:40 PM

GO CANES!

3/25/2009 7:11:42 PM

aha that's not gonna count

3/25/2009 7:16:01 PM

damn....that was almost perfectly disguised as a forced leg.

3/25/2009 7:17:17 PM

i know i'm in the minority on this, but i'm a fan of tripp tracy

but with that said, if a producer ever told him to not use the word 'advantageous' for one game, he wouldn't be able to call the game

that dude <3's that word

3/25/2009 7:35:45 PM

I like Tripp too

he's a goofball, a homer at times (though not near as bad as those florida douches from monday), and he butchers the english language from time to time, but it's usually in an endearing way

3/25/2009 7:40:34 PM

^ the funniest part is that he acts just like that normally, he gets even cheesier when he gets hammered

3/25/2009 7:45:43 PM

"A Day In The Life Of Tripp Tracy" is one of the funniest things i have ever seen, especially the first segment in the hotel room

3/25/2009 7:50:52 PM

Tripp is awesome, if a bit unintentionally hilarious at times.

3/25/2009 7:53:07 PM

i too support Tripp

3/25/2009 8:02:57 PM

I support Tripp.

3/25/2009 8:42:03 PM

come on canes...at least they tied it...

3/25/2009 9:05:25 PM

i guess everyone's at the game? or watching idol?

3/25/2009 9:09:56 PM

^im watching. Nothing to really comment on yet though. Hopefully we ATLEAST get a point tonight

3/25/2009 9:10:52 PM

holy shit ruutu lit that guy the fuck up

3/25/2009 9:26:18 PM

oldbluechair is in one of the boxes tonight...the envy is oozing from my skin

3/25/2009 9:26:44 PM

i thought tripp was gonna go a game without dropping names

and then after the goalie is pulled he comes out with the brindy's-dad-in-a-hot-tub story

rod looked EVER SO uncomfortable

3/25/2009 9:42:29 PM

"Rod, don't elaborate"

LOL Forsie

3/25/2009 9:49:42 PM

haha in the post game show tripp was talking to babchuk and said "we're in basketball country, and do you feel like a basketball player who wants the last shot in a game" and babchuk goes "yes, sometimes when im wide open at the point i would like the puck" in his thick accent. great stuff.

3/25/2009 9:51:48 PM

SET UP US THE BOMB

3/25/2009 10:05:47 PM

ANTON BOMB EXPOSED?!??!?

3/25/2009 10:07:01 PM

9 game franchise record tying home winning streak EXPOSED???????????????

3/25/2009 10:10:49 PM

is babchuk gonna be an unrestricted free agent this year?

3/25/2009 10:19:45 PM

He is restricted, thank god.

More big news about our blue line tonight slipping under the radar due to the game. From the N&O:

Quote :

"The Hurricanes hope to have prospect Jamie McBain under contract soon, possibly by Thursday. "

I think this guy is going to be the real deal. It will be great if he can get some experience with Albany before their season ends.

3/25/2009 10:21:26 PM

HOW MANY GOALS COULD A BABCHUK CHUK IF A BABCHUK COULD CHUK GOALS

[Edited on March 25, 2009 at 10:22 PM. Reason : .]

3/25/2009 10:21:56 PM

^13 and counting actually

3/25/2009 10:27:22 PM

HELL YEAH CANES. thanks for pulling out a win after that shitty display of hockey for a while there.

RUUUUUUUUUUU laid that bitch out.

3/25/2009 10:48:35 PM

3/25/2009 11:12:10 PM

""It was a tough game, definitely," Babchuk said. "Our crowd was terrific. I want to say 'thank you' to every fan who came to the game. They were like the sixth or seventh player on the ice for us.""

3/26/2009 9:44:01 AM

You mean we had like 9 players on the ice??!! That should be a penalty!

3/26/2009 10:14:45 AM

3/26/2009 11:06:13 AM

There are a lot of important games tonight.

3/26/2009 12:42:18 PM

^Correctomundo.

Do we cheer for Florida or Philly in their game tonight? I know it's a stretch to hope for 4th place, but we are only a point behind though they have like 4 games in hand anything is possible afterall.

Go Thrashers over the Rags

Go Lightning over the Canadiens, I'd love for them to be eliminated from the playoffs in their 100th season.

Tonight could very well strengthen our hold on the playoffs and hopefully a Top 6 seed is what we get as I think that's where we could be deadliest.

3/26/2009 1:47:17 PM

Fuck Florida go Flyers

3/26/2009 1:49:24 PM

and...

Quote :

"The Hurricanes, as expected, have agreed to terms with defenseman Jamie McBain on a three-year, entry-level contract. McBain, 21, will join the Albany River Rats (AHL) for the remainder of the 2008-09 season. “Jamie had an outstanding season at Wisconsin, serving as an alternate captain and leading the team in scoring,” said Jason Karmanos, vice president and assistant general manager. “The time is right for him to ake the next step in his development and begin his professional career.” McBain’s contract will begin with the 2009-10 season, and will pay him an average of $600,000 per year at the NHL level, $62,500 at the minor-league level and a $255,000 signing bonus. The Hurricanes selected McBain in the second round, 63rd overall, in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. McBain was named Western Collegiate Hockey Association 2008-09 player of the year, leading the Wisconsin Badgers and ranking second among NCAA Division I defensemen in scoring with 37 points (7g, 30a). The Edina, MN, native finishes his three-year collegiate career having scored 15 goals and earned 64 assists (79 points) in 111 games with the Badgers. McBain, 6 feet 2 and 200 pounds, represented the United States at the 2007 and 2008 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championships, helping Team USA capture the bronze medal in 2007. He is one of 10 NCAA Division I players to be selected as a finalist for the prestigious Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the nation’s top collegiate hockey player."
