While it may feel like an off-day for the fans and media, with a two-day break before the Hurricanes return to the Rock to face the NJ Devils Saturday night, for the team there seems to be a lot of learning and decision-making actively going on, as the players and coaches determine what they learned from the inspired, if not successful, comeback and shoot-out loss to the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday night. As Coach Paul Maurice put it after practice Thursday
"We’re almost there," said Maurice of the Canes’ overall play. "There are still some improvements that we’re looking for, but there’s a lot more that the players understand. They’re more attentive in those areas. It was better."
As the discussion surrounding the Canes nascent 09-10 season has gone from "Where's the offense?" to "Where's the discipline?", we can see that this team, with 6 newcomers (Tom Kostopoulos, Stephane Yelle, Tim Conboy, Aaron Ward, Andrew Alberts and Jay Harrison), is still working to perfect the system that Maurice, Ron Francis (and the rest of the coaches) have envisioned. Each man first must identify, then master, their responsibilities within this system. For all 20+Cam Ward that dress each night, their roles, their positioning, their passing all has to be there, and played instinctively, with unbelievable quickness of both mind and body, to meet the requirements of top-tier NHL hockey. If it wasn't hockey, it might sound like work.
At the same time, the coaches are learning what the strengths and tendencies are of these newcomers (remember: these 6 new Canes are 30% of the 20 skaters they've had in these last 3 games). While many said that the Hurricanes would bring almost the same roster as last year (like in every pre-season rating we read in September), I would argue that when half the D-squad and your entire 4th line have never played together, there will be a learning curve. Throw in the short pre-season, and it's not hard to understand why there have been miscues, turn-overs and a lack of certainty when challenged. Luckily, I think we all know that this is a group of hockey players hand-picked by GM Jim Rutherford for "locker room chemistry" , their willingness to work together and commit themselves to winning as a team: prima donnas need not apply. With 76 games to go, let's watch what happens. Enjoy the show!
After the jump, are a few stories I've picked out about the Hurricanes, the Albany River Rats and across the NHL to fulfill your hockey craving as the team readies itself for its flight to New Jersey this afternoon.
From the local media:
Late addition: TTS as the team heads to NJ. Good news: Pitkanen is making the trip
Canes are "Almost There" - Tracking the Storm Blog One of the evils surrounding the shootout is that a loss can still feel devastating despite a hard-earned point. Wednesday was an exception. "We’re almost there," said Coach Paul Maurice of the Canes’ overall play.
Also from Paul Branecky: Jokinen Performing Playoff Encore - TTS Blog "Offensive play is so much with your confidence," said Jussi Jokinen, who had seen his regular-season point total decrease each season since his first year in the league. "For me, it’s been there since the playoffs."
Canes Now: Pitkanen returns to practice - from Thursday. Chip Alexander has this succinct quote from Joni on his status: "Frustrating," Pitkanen said Thursday. Coudn't agree more. Let me add that I am delighted to hear that Pitkanen practiced with the team again Friday.
Further comments on Pitkanen's absence from the line-up, come from the Branecky and Hanlin podcast recorded prior to the Penguins game. I wanted to relay these comments about Joni Pitkanen which may help to clarify some of the confusion about whether he is healthy, injured, wimpy, or just nuts as some commenters here at CC have implied: Branecky recalls when Joni left the game against Islanders last fall with a knee injury, and Paul had an opportunity to talk about the player with some of his PR colleagues in Edmonton, where Pitkanen played until the previous season. The trainers in Edmonton said that Joni Pitkanen "is one of those players who knows his body and knows it very well. And if he thinks he can't go, then he can't go. It really doesn't matter what a test says....if he feels like he's not at a point where he's ready to play, then you have to wait it out." With the work-horse minutes Pitkanen puts in for Paul Maurice each and every game when he is healthy, the consensus of the coaches, training staff and certainly the player whose knee we're talking about, is that this is not something to rush. Frustrating as it is.
As always the Daily News Clippings over at the Hurricanes webpage, has several standard media links. However please note that the media office has paid Harwood a great compliment this week as Canes Country is now regularly linked as a "franchise-approved" source for Hurricanes News and Views. Thanks to them for that recognition.
The N&O ran a piece on attitudes among the players on the relatively new OT solution known as the "Shoot Out" : NHL shootout has its good points
The long-time radio voice of the Hurricanes Chuck Kaiton also weighs in on the topic of the shootout at WRAL.com. "Kaiton: Shoot-outs great for fans, but not fair".
Also pertaining to the shootout, out of Dallas, here's a more tongue-in-cheek look at how to do it best.
Some commentary on the battle amongst goalies for a spot on Team Canada:
On Saturday, Ward takes on another favorite candidate, the one who many would think has a lock on the top spot, Martin Brodeur. Again, something tells me Wardo till bring a little extra to the rink Saturday night for another head-to-head matchup (this is all assuming Brodeur even plays Saturday - see notes on the Devils below).
ESPN's Melrose: Cam Ward could supplant Robert Luongo as Team Canada's goaltender - WRALSportsFan.com
The esteemed NHL analyst shared his thoughts (nearly 13 minutes) on the Canes season thus far, Jussi Jokinen and the future of our young goalie with Mike Maniscalco and Mark Thomas.
Fleury, Ward stand out among NHL goalies - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review It's no stretch to suggest that Fleury and Ward are the two best Canadian-born goalies in the league given recent playoff accomplishments.
Some highlights from Wednesday night:
Wednesday's Three Stars: Lundqvist, Perry star in victories - Puck Daddy While no one from the Canes-Pens game Wednesday made Sean Leahy's Top 3, the two video clips are certainly memorable. For your viewing enjoyment, please give it up once more as you marvel at Cam Ward's eye-popping glove save on Bill Guerin followed by an encore clip of Mr. Tuomo Ruutu's wow-ser of a full-body hit on the Pens' Kris Letang (I have to wonder if Letang thought getting his finger bitten [alledgedly] by Scott Hartnell was going to be the worst thing that happened to him this week?). Guess who captured the moment with the best image on the web?
While the Canes head to New Jersey today, the Devils actually start off a back-to-back with Atlanta tonight, and the Devils' blogs haven't quite turned their focus on the re-match with the team that always seem to ruin their post-season experience. According to NJD blog Fire & Ice, Marty Brodeur will play tonight, but no indication on whether he or Yann Danis (who?) will be in goal tomorrow night against the Canes. In the context of the Team Canada goalie sweepstakes, I might think they would let Marty make this call.
From Albany, the River Rats brought their record to 3-1 on the season, with a 3-1 win Thursday night over the Norfolk Admirals. They now have a 3-game winning streak (kinda makes ya jealous, no?). Read more at Hard work spurs rally - Times Union - Albany 'Energy' guy Goertzen nets key goal for the River Rats . For a broader collection of links once again; The Infestation.
Remember this image of Nicolas Blanchard that LTD provided for us, as he drops the gloves with Nashville Predators' Tristan Grant in a pre-season game at the RBC?
Blanchard is now under scrutiny and facing a possible suspension back in New York for what the Admiral coach called a dirty play, blindsiding Admiral Defenseman Matt Smaby. Not good. This link also has some great Q&A with both coaches and players including local favorite Brandon Sutter. Did you know the 'Rats have killed off 100% of their opponent power plays this season?
Last, the Peewee hockey move of the week: check out this goal by 9-year old Oliver Wahlstrom of Boston. Stick Tap to Caps blogger Leslie at Musings of a Hockey Mom for the pointer (and Puck Daddy for posting it in the first place)

Great work and links HM.
I have one thing to add (it’s not really a link so forgive me). Per the Hurricanes on facebook:
Carolina Hurricanes Staal not practicing, but everyone else who missed yesterday’s skate back in (besides the obvious – Cole and Ryan). Pitkanen also skating.
I hope the extra day of rest does Staal some good.
I agree. Hopefully the magic of Staal’s most recent goal in NJ will be an inspiration for him. (I guess it’s safe to assume that everyone remember’s the one I’m talking about…..;) )
Thanks for this.

What does Brodeur do?
Last time I heard it was his wife’s family members!

And technically it was his wife’s sister-in-law. Still creepy and disgusting…

The Rats have killed 100% of their penalties? wow, great job even if it’s just four games. It’s nice to see that these guys seem to be playing like they have something to prove up there.
Lots of info here HM, nice work.
GM of CanesCountry.com
Sutter was one of the Canes better penalty killers last year before he was hurt.
GM of CanesCountry.com
Sutter was great Wednesday. During one play he broke his stick blocking a shot and then sprawled along the ice to clear the zone with his hand! Great read, great effort.
I thought that hit affected him more than just physically so I’m glad to hear he’s regained his mojo. :)
And.....
notice a certain girl just pining away for him from afar in the stands?

I forgot to mention this in my post (like it wasn't already too long)
Cory – not sure if you’ve a moment to listen to the Branecky/Hanlin conversation (>30 mins) but they bring up the problem of the injuries among d-men at both the NHL and AHL level: Pitkanen, Borer and Carson. If another blueliner goes down in Raleigh, who ya gonna call? McBain’s a little raw. Bryan Rodney I guess. Something to keep in the back of our minds if Pitkanen can’t get back out there. (towards the last 10 minutes of the podcast)

Conboy?
What about Harrison? Move Conboy over to the D, send Harrison down then call up another forward.

On Blanchard
For the record, Blanchard’s hit was not nearly as dirty as Norfolk coach Darren Rumble made it out to be. It was not from behind as several reports suggest. Smaby took a (legal) run at Goertzen, who was having a great game. Blanchard took exception and squared him up. It was behind the play, but not an attempt to injure.
Thanks for that clarification. It’s really wonderful to have an “inside source” on the Rats with all the excitement the Raleigh fans have for the prospects. Stop by anytime!!!
Question for you: Do the Albany players read the blogs (from either in Albany or Raleigh?), or are they aware how much interest there is here in NC about them? Might be a good inspiration for them to know that we are eagerly awaiting the right time to see them play at the RBC.

So you’re likely getting those big toothless smiles – any raspberries? That’s a fun stage!
(Fast forward 9 years: I had a first for the season at my squirt’s hockey practice and tied the skates for three 9-yr-old boys last night in the locker room – they’re both so cute and so grown up – I heard about the goals they scored in Greensboro Saturday while I worked to cut of the circulation in their toes)

Outstanding as always, HM! I especially appreciated the comments you shared about Joni. He looked really good at practice today. He was in for all the drills and scrimmages and after formal practice broke up he and Tuomo stayed late and skated sprints. Fingers crossed he’s ready for tomorrow night.
Great to hear. – hey do you mind posting that photo of Pits the LGC just tweeted from today. It’s priceless.

Sure, that’s me tweeting when you see (LTD) at the end of the tweet. Oh, and thanks for the nice words on the pic of Ruuty’s hit. That’s the only picture I’ve processed so far from that game. I ran out of disk space on my PC so it’s going to take a while before I get the Pens pics (and pics from today’s practice) posted. Good thing we have an extended road swing coming up LOL.
Sticking his tongue out?
His essence is when he’s just p’wned an opposing player and he’s rubbing it into their face.
LTD, got any pics like that?

First off, excellent use of “p’wnd”.
Second, Joni never keeps his tongue in his mouth while skating. I also suspect he sticks it out whenever he is concentrating, but don’t have any actual proof of that. If she had caught him sticking his tongue out while skating aimlessly during practice and creeping on girls in the stands, then she really would have nailed it.
Thanks,
my daughters think they do that to me (p’wned me because they think of something witty) I’ve had a lot of practice learning that.

LCD, I’ll have to get back to you on that one once he’s back in the lineup. That’s my second challenge for the season. Another friend has already challenged me to snag a picture of him actually breaking a sweat.
Yeah,
He’s a Finn and those guys, well I think it’s an impossibility for them to actually sweat.

Tuomo being a noticable exception to that rule. By the time practice was over and he and Joni finished their sprints he looked like he’d just come in out of the rain (his new visor needs windshield wipers and a defogger btw). Joni looked like he’d just stepped out onto the ice.

I was thinking the same thing. They must stop reading when they get to the comments. (Truthfully, I don’t think they mind passionate criticism – any publicity is good publicity. Not so sure how they feel about like-minded Caniacs engaged in virtual-displays-of-flirtation)
They also only link Harwood’s stories thus far. Neither Cory or I have been so blessed.

They just love to throw out the redneck insult. I have family in that area-the northeast has just as many rednecks as Raleigh.
Rednecks is a state of mind
not based on what state you live in.
Personally, I am not a redneck. No way in hell. Too many negative connotations for me.
I’m a Democrat who canvassed Johnston County for Obama during the election. Worse yet for some, I still support ALL of his policies.
Wanted to share that to erase any doubt.

Cole's interview on local news tonight
this link may work better (thanks CarolinaCanes for the head’s up on this) Erik looks to be healing up and is aiming to return in 2 weeks (November 1 vs Sharks, Nov 6 vs the Leafs??)
ABC11 also posted the full interview – raw footage. talking about his time in Edmonton, how he felt about being traded, Ruutu’s “first game face slash”, his kids, wife, the neck injury etc. Runs nearly 27 mins long, but he is very open and frank, and engaging to listen to, (compared to uhhh, maybe….Aaron Ward?) Better than street drugs for us hardcore hockey fans. ;-) Definitely worth seeing the whole thing, if you have the time.

I broke my ankle when I was out running last year.

Great point about
30% of our top 20 skaters being new. I’d also like to add that Coach Mo has been here less than a year, so there are some adjustments that still need to be made. Plus, the Canes have only played 10 games counting the preseason.
The Cole clip was awesome. Although he has some critics — me included — he is a skilled player that makes our offense better, especially (for whatever reason) our best player. Having a top 6 forward back makes our lines more flexible, creates more offense throughout the rotation, and keeps us from being a “one line” team. I hope the Canes can build on the momentum from the Pens game, especially going into NJ. I think the Devils, Canes, and Rangers represent the second tier in the east behind Philly, Boston, Washington, and Pittsburgh. We will have to show we are the best of that group before we assault the big 4 for eastern conference superiority.
