Tobacco Road

Jaime Pressly has been nominated for an Emmy, has her own clothing line, is on a popular prime time television show, and has starred in numerous movies. Why is she gracing the cover of this Carolina Hurricanes blog? Because this "Carolina Girl" is also a Caniac! In a recent interview by Allison Scotch of American Way Magazine, Pressly was asked about what she liked most about visiting her home in North Carolina. Her list of answers included eating at Bojangles and shopping at Crab Tree Valley Mall, Glenwood Avenue, and Cameron Village. One subsequent question was: "What about sports? North Carolinians can be crazed about their basketball and such. Are you a fan?" Jaime's answer? "Well the thing to do in Raleigh is to go to the RBC Center and watch the Carolina Hurricanes. They won the Stanley Cup last year, which was pretty exciting!" You go girl! Who says college basketball is king on Tobacco Road? Obviously not Jaime! You can read the entire article by clicking the "American Way Magazine" link above.

Is it ever too early to begin a discussion about the lines? Since Matt Cullen was re-acquired, I thought it might be interesting to see who most of you would prefer to see play alongside him on the 3rd line. I started a new poll on the right asking exactly that question. At the end of the week, we'll see which players got the majority of votes, then I'll see if I agree or not, and why. There's not much more going on here at the moment. Maybe we'll take a look at some arbitration awards tomorrow.

Personally I’d like to see Ladd on a line with Staal and Cole. If Ladd is going to have his breakout year, that line could be scary.

I like the ol Ladd/Walker line. Tough as nails and will score many goals barring the unforseen.

I think Andrew Ladd is ready to take the next step in his development and become an impact player. Starting the season on a line with Cullen and Walker is great with me. I think that’s a line that can do some real damage and give Andrew lots of opportunities to shine. If he does, he’ll earn more ice time and the lines may be shifted, but I envision three lines to scare the bejeebers out of opponents!
