Hardee's is the only place a man should eat.

Should we go ahead and start voting for Erik Cole for the All-Star Game?

Cole?!?!?!

I think Jokinen or Ruutu has a better shot

7/26/2010 9:57:43 AM

WITH THE CANES?!??!

7/26/2010 10:20:57 AM

Tanabe for Norris??

7/26/2010 10:40:05 AM

i hope with the ASG coming they really do some work on the vendors in the RBC

because they could easily get me to drop some serious cash on concessions, depending on my intoxication of choice for the game in question. but not when all you have to offer is a shitty slice of pizza or whatever

what happened to BBQ nachos

Tanabe is definitely going to be a contender for the Norris. Don Beaupre for Vezina.

I bet Cole gets to the All-Star game... skills competition will feature a new format, including diving.

7/27/2010 12:24:33 AM

i believe the star is supposed to represent the new triangle

chapel hill, durham, wake forest, raleigh, and of course THE QUAY

ESPN report on the SE division http://espn.go.com/nhl/blog/_/name/nhl/id/5434125/cup-sight-caps

Quote :

"Carolina Hurricanes Former captain Rod Brind'Amour retired and will remain with the Hurricanes' organization (as is the way with all former Canes stars), while veteran winger Ray Whitney signed in Phoenix. In short, the Hurricanes are short on experience but long on young talent with guys like Brandon Sutter, Jamie McBain and perhaps even top draft pick Jeff Skinner, about whom everyone raved after the Canes selected him with the seventh overall pick in June. The Canes are looking to move back to perennial playoff contender status. It might not happen this season, but rest assured: Under the steady hand of GM Jim Rutherford, the Hurricanes will be back sooner rather than later."

i approve

8/17/2010 11:14:59 PM

I remember those being in NHL 2001 or something like that. I thought the City of Hartford owned all the rights to the Whalers and were all about the use of it related to the 'Canes? Either way, I too, approve.

8/17/2010 11:17:24 PM

this might be a stab in the dark, but i thought i read something about those rights expiring...

8/17/2010 11:24:49 PM

Aaron Ward retired. Can we have him replace Tripp?

8/24/2010 1:37:43 PM

+1 vote for Ward/Forslund combo

8/24/2010 1:41:12 PM

some excellent LULZ coming from the Canes facebook. a lot of morons think A. Ward is HOF worthy OMGLOL

8/24/2010 3:42:12 PM

maybe he can join the "I take retarded penalties" HOF with Sean Hill and Mike Commodore.

from Forslund: "Look for national TV schedule today. Canes will make multiple appearances on VS!"

about time.

8/25/2010 8:47:18 AM

Don't know if anyone else is interested or not, but I just found out that you can rent RV spots at Carter-Finley for the All Star weekend.

I plan on bringing my folks' camper out there and drinking/celebrating non-stop from Friday until Monday morning.

If you have any questions about getting a spot, PM me and I'll get you to the right folks.

8/25/2010 12:18:46 PM

oh shit!!

8/25/2010 12:26:52 PM

4 Vs. games

October 7 @ Wild (Finland)
October 8 vs. Wild (Finland)
November 29 vs. Stars
March 15 @ Sabres

and even better, no NBC games better known as we won't get flexed out for the other NBC game

also Rod Night bumped back to an 8pm start per http://hurricanes.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=536389

"The Hurricanes’ 65-game FOX Sports Carolinas schedule will be announced in the near future."

only 65 again, hopefully we can do better than 30 in HD this year.

8/25/2010 2:59:34 PM

the season openers will start at like noon eastern too. i should put in for vacation on those two days asap

8/25/2010 3:27:41 PM

Checkers schedule released: http://gocheckers.com.ismmedia.com/ISM3/std-content/repos/Top/Page%20Graphics/2010-2011-Schedule.jpg

Severe lack of Saturday home games due to the Bobcats, and also 2 home games at the same time as Panther home games.

It does produce a few Charlotte-centric weekend ideas: 3 instances (2 in Nov, 1 in Dec) of Checkers Friday, Bobcats Saturday, and Panthers Sunday all at home. both in November have Canes home dates during them, but the one in December doesn't.

Fri Dec 10: Hershey Bears @ Charlotte Checkers
Sat Dec 11: Boston Celtics @ Charlotte Bobcats
Sun Dec 12: Atlanta Falcons @ Carolina Panthers

8/25/2010 4:20:35 PM

^^ Put in for two and a half days vacation and you can go see them live in Finland. Roundtrip airfare is only $673

8/25/2010 4:26:38 PM

^^ that's pretty epic
