eh, I don't feel like they're a more talented team though. In 2001 I was just so happy we won 2 games. I'm expecting us to win the series. 4/15/2009 8:58:36 PM |

shitty stream might be coming up on http://www.justin.tv/brownnugget, guy is flipping channels now during intermission
the stream is pretty well timed with the nhl.com radio so you can listen to chuck and watch

Canes better bring it in game 2.
They've been out-hustled the whole game. Jersey got more shots, more loose pucks, and simply defended better in front of Marty. The Canes' puck control was absolutely terrible. 4/15/2009 9:49:43 PM |

yah the Canes got owned in that game, but there's plenty of hockey left
Canes need to be more physical, get pucks in deep, and let corvo and babchuck take some rippin shots from the point 4/16/2009 3:20:37 AM |

LaRose: "We're just excited to be back"
The Devils were serious in their practice Tuesday, and we were lighthearted. I guess we found out which one is the better approach. We played like a team that was just happy to be there, and New Jersey played like a team that wants more. 4/16/2009 9:52:23 AM |

Question for Sunday. RBC Center says on its site that the lots open at 230, does it open any earlier or thats the earliest we can get in? Thanks. 4/16/2009 10:06:55 AM |

i am stoked, again, that i get all these free hurricanes tix and parking from my company, yet, do not ever have to go to the game. so, does that technically not make it a sell out if i shred the tickets? 4/16/2009 1:47:27 PM |

I actually have pretty great tickets for free, but I will be using them to catch another glimpse of a goalie who will never come close to Patrick Roy's playoff success get bounced once again by a kid from Red Deer. 4/16/2009 2:01:57 PM |

^heyy i thought you were done with this team and were gonna send your playoff envelope back after JR made the idiot move of bringing back cole.
jk, just giving you a hard time. i couldn't believe that move happened when i heard, and i'd never would have imagined the immediate impact he would've had on the team. 4/16/2009 4:10:01 PM |
vinylbandit All American 48079 Posts user info edit post |
I didn't expect the effect that Cole's return would have on Staal; Cole looked like his regular old separate-himself-from-the-puck-for-no-reason-while-weakly-attempting-his-one-and-only-move self last night.
Anyway, I didn't get tickets, but puck_it did and is out of town this week. ] 4/16/2009 7:08:39 PM |

Quote : | "First off, there's a chance Fox Sports Carolinas may televise a game or two of the Carolina Hurricanes' first-round playoff series in high definition after all. Canes fans weren't exactly thrilled to see that Game 1 at New Jersey, a 4-1 loss Wednesday night, was not shown in HD, and the regional sports network is seeing what it can do. In fact, none of the games in this Eastern Conference series was scheduled to be broadcast in HD.
The reasons are largely technological, including equipment. FS Carolinas has access to two HD trucks, which cost millions to build. They aren't enough to show all of the games on Fox Sports' 30 networks nationwide in HD. Fox Sports makes the call on where to send them. It also costs more to televise a game in HD, and Fox Sports has to deal with bandwidth capacity limitations on its HD telecasts.
The Hurricanes, who are in the first year of a five-year deal with FS Carolinas, were shown 15 times in high definition out of 65 televised games during the regular season. Next season, 30 or more Canes games might be aired in HD. No word on whether additional playoff games this year will be available on HD if the Hurricanes advance.
In general, the team is satisfied with its television deal, said Kyle Hanlin, the Canes' broadcast coordinator.
"They're making the investment in our product as they see fit," Hanlin said. "We'd obviously like to see every game in high definition, but they're our business partner and we understand they have to make decisions, too."
Hanlin said he's gotten a lot of e-mail messages about the HD issue, as well as Dish Network surprising some subscribers by showing Wednesday's game on channel 475. (The satellite TV company usually uses 444 to 452 as its alternate channels for Canes games, depending on how much content Fox Sports airs. Dish says Game 2 will be shown on channel 449. As usual, DirecTV will show the game on alternate channel 645. Time Warner Cable will have it on channel 50. " |

Just got back from Newark and despite the dismal loss, the roadtrip was a lot of fun. The Rock is a really nice place to take in a game but I must admit that I was severely disappointed in the Devils fans. There was the requisite amount of heckling thrown our way, but aside from a few flashes of absolute hilarity, most of it was just sad (luckily the two guys behind us were funny as hell and didnt punch us in the face).
I've often thought that it really sucks at times in the RBC center when the crowd isnt very loud, it doesnt compare to the Rock. The crowd was not loud at all, especially when their team was scoring with relative ease. One kind fan made a spectacle of us not standing up and cheering at one point until we pointed out that neither were half of the Devils fans.... and they had just scored.
We may be accused of having 'uninformed' or 'fair weather' fans but this is clearly not limited to us. Upon walking in the arena, the first person to give me shit later admitted that it was his first game since he was five years old. I was also told on two separate occasions that 'one day, you will have a championship banner hanging in your rafters.'
All in all though, it was a great trip and I really wish that i was able to stick around for game two as well. Despite catching hell, more than a few people came up to tell us that they were impressed that we made the trip up. Luckily there was a guy wearing a rangers jersey in our section to deflect much of the hecklong. 4/16/2009 11:50:41 PM |

yes, i believe that they did. but have you ever noticed how quiet it can get during slow points during some games? It was like that large parts of yesterday's game, the biggest difference being that this is the playoffs. 4/17/2009 12:03:16 AM |

My hat (if I had one) is off to you, sir, for braving the wilds of New Jersey just to be subjected to the fans. I am a huge Devils fan and even I don't think I could abide the crowds at the Rock. But then again I'd be grumpy too if I lived in a toxic wasteland. 4/17/2009 12:16:36 AM |
