Ward Stops 47 As B’s Are Again Stymied By ‘Canes
Throughout my years of watching sports, I’ve never been fond of the expression “they just have your number” in response to being beaten repeatedly by the same team. However, watching each of the four meetings between the struggling Carolina Hurricanes and the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins I’ve begun to think that my belief is [...]

Why Did Daddy Let My T-birds Fly Astray??
Poor me a beer so I can wash the sadness away. Not because it’s St. Patty’s Day though. No, because I’m a Thrashers fan who was foolish enough to believe in this year’s team. Going into the season, I knew better. We’re too young; new coach and new system; too many new pieces trying to [...]

Cam Ward Steals Extra Point From Blues
With little separation in the Western Conference and many home games in the month of December, the St. Louis Blues must find ways to take points. A shootout loss at home may not be the ideal method of obtaining points, but if they are going to drop a game at Scottrade, that’s the way to [...]
Hurricanes Blow in to St. Louis
Similarities to the St. Louis Blues 2008-09 season are gradually starting to appear. A rash of long term injuries, offensive struggles and a team banding together at the lowest moment to get the ship moving forward again. The Blues hope to extend their winning streak to three games as the Carolina Hurricanes blow in to [...]
Predators Hammer Hurricanes 5-2
Two weeks ago, the Nashville Predators played the Carolina Hurricanes at the RBC Center in a contest that was an absolute grind. Tonight, the Predators met the Hurricanes in the Bridgestone Arena, and this contest was a decidedly different affair. The Predators blew away the Hurricanes 5-2 in a wide opening tilt. This was the [...]

There was something in the air that night
I may not like the ABBA song of the same name song but I like Pisani. For $500k the Blackhawks get a solid defensive player who kills penalties and has a bit more offensive flair than you might expect at first.
Habs look to avoid Cane-ing at Bell Centre; Price Starts
Maybe I’m being being a little bit over-dramatic, but tonight may just be the biggest game of Carey Price’s young career. At least so far. Price will be in goal as the Canadiens host the Carolina Hurricanes. Based on how he performs – or rather the end result of the game, regardless of his performance [...]
