My Day as a Carolina Hurricane (Part 1) #CanesAlumniGame #TeamRed

Published by under Hockey,Hurricanes

I tried to get as much sleep the night before, but it wasn’t easy. I tried to take a 30 min nap before I left for the event, but that wasn’t happening either. I simply was too wound up. You see, what started as an amazing surprise 10th Anniversary gift from my beautiful wife, was […]

My semi-weekly Canes rant #NHL #Hurricanes

Published by under Hockey,Hurricanes

Fear not friends with the middle of the month here now and the free agent signings slowing down quite a bit, coupled with the fact the Canes are likely to not do much of anything other then signing Brandon Sutter (RFA) to a long term deal, this is likely the last anti-Rutherford rant I will […]

2 Days of Free agency are over.. and the Canes took a dump in the FA pool. #nhl #Hurricanes

Published by under Hockey,Hurricanes,Rant

Yes you read that right. As predicted the Canes sucked ass big time in the first two days of free agency. I will admit it wasn’t a very deep FA pool and I wasn’t expecting Brad Richards or anything but what I WAS expecting was for Jim Rutherford to take this time of year seriously. […]

Canes Sign 3 in 2 days. Two decent and one which might kill my faith in the front office #Hurricanes #NHL

I know the season is over and I know the draft just ended but I am now going to finish up the review of the season for the Canes. This was an easy one to push off until now b/c I wanted to wait and see how the Canes did in the draft, if they […]

NHL leaves Atlanta, AGAIN… What does that mean for the Canes? #NHL #Hurricanes

Published by under Hockey,Hurricanes

If this was to be foretold at the beginning of 2011, I am sure it would have been a surprise. But with Phoenix staying put, the owners for the Atlanta Thrashers being a bunch of pansies, oh not to mentions Man of many hats and one of the worst NHL team officials Don Waddell STILL […]

Mikael Granlund scores circus goal at worlds… And NHL mourns loss of an enforcer #nhl

Published by under Hockey

Before I post the video of Mikael Granlund’s amazing goal at the world tournament I want to pass along some devastating news. This evening I saw the story about Derek Boogaard found dead in his home, at this time no mention of the cause of his death. He may have been a goon and he […]
