17 points this season

11/6/2009 11:41:49 PM

Also 17 goals allowed in the last 4 games.

Also the number of a player who should hang up his skates before he further tarnishes his great legacy. Or, at the very least, pass on the captaincy.

Oh really Lindell?!

11/7/2009 12:23:19 AM

Time to tank?

We dont have to. We're playing our best and losing still.

11/7/2009 1:11:41 AM

I propose this, without looking at what is going on at all....

Cole to LA for Scuderi... they're pretty good on D and could use a power forward

Mike Murphy to Edmonton for Dustin Penner and a 5th.... Jeff Deslauriers?? Yea, Khabi is olllllllddddd


Scuderi is what we thought we would get out of Alberts or at least Kostopoulos, clearly not working and neither have much in the way of playoff experience

Dustin Penner was a solid guy in Anaheim and he is doing great in EDM, which has noooo future in net at this point

thoughts???? JR are you there?

Wait what? Kostopoulos is a forward.

11/7/2009 4:41:25 AM

Gross game - not fun hockey. I'm done with this team.

11/7/2009 7:44:35 AM

Scuderi is fucking overpaid and not nearly as good as people think. No way we'd take on his salary.

Win a Stanley Cup, and all of the sudden you're an incredible player.

holy jesus please operate in reality. NHL 10 wouldn't take that trade.


[Edited on November 7, 2009 at 6:33 PM. Reason : and don't worry, JR IS PISSED. something will be done. THESE IS NOT THE TIMES]

11/7/2009 6:31:52 PM

FUCK

11/7/2009 7:21:34 PM

jesus christ

nash's skate blade, right on top of cam's knee

11/7/2009 7:21:57 PM

not good. solid amount of blood on the ice

11/7/2009 7:23:52 PM

i hope cam will consider wearing knee pads, considering this is twice in two years now

11/7/2009 7:25:53 PM

Yeah, that was....wow. I hope Cam's alright.

11/7/2009 7:26:19 PM

Wow. Leighton looked silly there.

11/7/2009 9:00:05 PM

leighton just gave up the go-ahead softie goal to a goon

11/7/2009 9:01:01 PM

a two goal deficit for the canes is like a seven goal deficit for most teams

which is crazy given the canes history, 6 months ago i would have had no doubt that they'd tie it up

11/7/2009 9:03:32 PM

12 in a row!!!!!!

How much are we paying these guys to suck this bad?

11/7/2009 9:35:27 PM

I wear red-shaded glasses most of the time. Pretty much an optimist...

But I think God might be sending a message here.

11/7/2009 9:39:14 PM

I believe that message is Hall or Fowler.

11/7/2009 11:57:01 PM

don't forget seguin

11/8/2009 4:59:34 AM

Steve Mason called Cam out as well in the postgame for not wearing knee pads.

This is just one more not so gentle reminder to JR that he better drop any delusions he has of making the playoffs and commit to the tank.

11/8/2009 9:53:33 AM

Boychuk sent back to Albany.

The tank is on.

11/8/2009 10:31:02 AM

is that also a Glenn Frey song?

Ward to stay in hospital; Canes mull options
Submitted by chipalexander on 11/08/2009 - 10:50
Tags: Canes Now | Cam Ward | Jim Rutherford

Canes general manager Jim Rutherford said today that goaltender Cam Ward would remain at a Columbus, Ohio, hospital another day and that the team may look to trade or sign another goaltender.

Ward suffered a laceration of the left leg in the first period of the Canes' 3-2 loss at Columbus on Saturday and was taken to Riverside Hospital.

"We'll have to see how it goes," Rutherford said today of Ward's injury and recovery time. "It appears it will be a fairly long period of time."

Might as well just toss Jim Rutherford between the pipes - fuck it, lets go for first overall.

11/8/2009 12:50:17 PM

As long as don't sign someone or bring someone up who gets suddenly hot and carries us out of last place, we are in looking good here.

11/8/2009 2:11:53 PM

tripp tracy?

11/8/2009 2:12:19 PM

Oh god that would be epic.

BTW did anyone catch that little conversation they got sidetracked on during the game about Reverend Forslund LOL

11/8/2009 2:21:42 PM

that was pretty hilarious

I love when Forslund gets that, "come on, really?" tone to his voice

11/8/2009 2:28:59 PM

i'm surprisingly content in us tanking this whole season

lord knows staal needs a competent scorer to go with him

11/8/2009 2:38:08 PM

apparently it's a lacerated muscle for Cam. OUCH!

11/8/2009 3:46:32 PM

A couple of people at HF are speculating 2-3 months.

I am actually beginning to truly believe for the first time that we might really get Taylor Hall.

TEAM		GP	W	L	OT	PT
Carolina 	16 	2 	11 	3 	7
Toronto 	15 	3 	7 	5 	11
Florida 	15 	5 	9 	1 	11
Minnesota 	16 	6 	10 	0 	12

11/8/2009 4:16:05 PM

goddamn that would be so sweet

11/8/2009 4:53:14 PM

Question... I have never played goalie... Why wouldn't cam wear knee pads? Is he alone in not wearing these?

11/8/2009 4:55:28 PM

there are other things to cheer for...

Florida missing the playoffs
Penguins not winning the Cup
Phoenix/Nashville underdog teams doing well
Figuring out our different draft positions based on other team's finishes

Heres our picks(4th was traded with Eaves for A Ward):

1st
2nd
3rd
our 5th
Nashville's 5th
6th
7th

11/8/2009 5:22:22 PM

Here's our picks come March:

1st
Chicago's 1st
Columbus's 1st
Dallas's 1st
2nd
Detroit's 2nd
Columbus's 2nd
3rd
Chicago's 3rd
Dallas's 3rd
our 5th
Nashville's 5th
6th

Or something to that effect.

They're bulky and uncomfortable, and if you keep your pads in position, the chance of a puck hitting the knee is slim to none. Even the best solution (Luongo's) is relatively obtrusive.

Not sure of any other NHL goalies who don't wear knee protection, but I'm looking through pics to see if I can find some.

11/8/2009 5:39:11 PM

Someone on HF Boards claimed that Ward is the only one, and I think Steve Mason may have said the same thing after the game. Dunno if that's valid, though.

11/8/2009 5:40:51 PM

Manny Legace is officially a member of the Carolina Hurricanes.

11/9/2009 9:04:40 AM

Awesome, I think he's a solid goaltender. What did we give up.

11/9/2009 9:07:25 AM

Nothing, he's a free agent.

This says two things to me:
1. The front office is delusional and thinks we can win games.
2. The front office has zero confidence that Peters is capable of playing in the NHL.

11/9/2009 9:08:38 AM

When does Legace start?

11/9/2009 9:18:46 AM

I think it's #2, but it's not just confidence in him, but doing what is right for his future and Mike Murphy's future. Everything I've heard from Albany indicates that Murphy is not ready to carry the load down there.

11/9/2009 9:26:20 AM

Yeah, I didn't even factor in Murphy's development being affected by Peters leaving. I assumed he could carry the load in Albany and they'd just sign somebody to a PTO as the backup or callup the ECHL guy. Once the hole in goaltending gets to the ECHL who really gives a shit, just stack a few cinder blocks back there if the #1 guy goes down.

Supposedly this is getting done for cheap and I don't see Legace being the savior and leading us out of the basement, so our #1 overall dreams are still alive.

11/9/2009 9:29:03 AM

I bet Leighton still starts Wednesday

11/9/2009 9:31:49 AM

1 year, 2 way deal. Looks even better now.

Can't beat signing someone for the minimum.
