Every Picture Tells a Story - Canes Out and About

Congratulations to Patrick Eaves and his fiancee, Katie. Apparently, Patrick proposed at (at a lake like) nearby Lake Norman, where this recent photo shoot took place.

Tim Gleason took some time on Tuesday to do a charity gig at the Carolina Ale House. The defenseman was supposed to meet and greet customers, but ended up waiting tables and pouring drinks as well. Gleason doesn't seem to be the type to do things half-way.

Last but not least, the cover of the Hurricanes new media guide has a rather imposing photograph of the "Face of the Franchise".

Tomorrow before noon, I will have a post hyping the Wednesday night preseason game against Washington with the lineups and some insight. Looks like the new number one pairing of Pitkanen and Gleason will make their debut.

Jeff O'Neill, Dan LaCouture, and Brandon Sutter will all be on the ice, continuing to make a case for their stay in Carolina.

Congrats to Patrick. Also, Tim throwing us another curveball with the No. 42 again … I full expect him to wear something like No. 00 opening night .. lol.

All plans are for me to attend tonight’s game and get some insight afterward from the team — the only kink is my brother had his first child yesterday and it’s kind of thrown family stuff up in the air a bit. But as of now, I’m good to go.

I was thinking Gleason was wearing a sweater from last season…after all, it has the 10th Anniversary patch on it.

Hey congrats, Uncle Cory!

i can’t believe it is actually going to be the start of a news season of Hurricane’s hockey tonight. I thought it would never get here!

I hate to sound like “such a girl”…but I love this post. It’s so awesome to get the behind the scenes, human interest stuff. Thanks, Bubba, for scouring around and putting it all in one place.

I don’t think they got engaged at Lake Norman. The website you link says “patrick proposed to katie at a lake” and that’s why they decided to do the shoot at a lake. Not that it matters much I guess.

I don’t come here often, but I do find the new design much easier on the eyes. Do the links not work on the short blog blurb that appears on the main page? I couldn’t figure out how to link to the photos until I clicked the link to read the whole blog entry.
