Jay Harrison Sent to Albany

This was a no-brainer for sure. You can hardly pin all of the hurricanes problems on Harrison (I believe the majority of his penalty minutes are fighting majors)….. And he may be a good defensive defensman at some point…. but for now I think he will be well served as a leader for some of the up-and-coming players in Albany….

Paul Maurice certainly has a lot of faith and (for some reason) feels a lot of loyalty to Jay Harrison….. So I assume we will see him back at some point.

I don’t hate him by any stretch…. but this is probably a good place to start in regards to making roster changes….

Maybe Aaron will figure it out and listen to Joni when it comes to moving the puck on a break-out. They argued about this all the way to the bench, where T Rowe nodded his head in agreement with Joni and then spent a solid minute explaining what he wants to Aaron.
But, this is probably just indicative off the trouble the whole team has with getting on the same page.

Maybe now our defense can be a little more NHL like. Harrison is a gutsy player but he honestly has no business playing in the NHL right now. THANK YOU JR!

Timmy’s back??? YEAH!! :)

And now leafs tied in points with us (but we have a game loss in hand)
Wooo-hooo! Tied for the bottom of the league!!!
(sob… wail…)

I would like to see B Rodney.

I’d like to see the a few more changes. 530 game day, heavy frost, trying to decide if it’s a hot chocolate or coffee type of morning. Been reading some of the threads I’ve missed. I would expect that tonight will be like an importatnt practice. I think they will be working on chemistry and the simple things now that the band is back together. Then it will be the Leafs game where they will need to find themselves.

 Not to say we don’t need 2 tonight and every night, but this train wreck isn’t going to explode and go on tear. I think the psychology puts the more important game being with the Leafs. Not sure what to think about these guys.

 Dropping Harrison is pretty anticlimatic, I think somebody mentioned “no brainer”. I sure would like to see some smart moves, inspired play and cheaper beer.

 Kind of ironic, there are soooooooooooooooooooooo many things wrong with this team, yet I can’t help hoping they do something.

  My son doesn’t even watch the games. I asked him why and he said “’cause they suck”. I think that attitude will start hitting the box office soon. They start hitting the 12k a night mark and PK is gonna get that itch in the back of his throat only a 12ga can scratch.

  I guess one nice thing is everbody likes coming here now, we hand out 2 points almost everynight….

God, remember when 12k a game was a good attendance goal for us?!?!? Can you imagine if we start drawing 8-10k per game again. JR will probably start rumors about moving the team again to scare people into coming.

N&O story today had canes players saying that maybe it’s good that Staal is out for a while. I can’t agree more; watch Cullen and Jokinen thrive with more ice time.

I’m calling ’Canes win tonight 4-2 with an empty netter.

Yea, wasn’t 12k the amount of STH seats we needed to hold the draft or all start game or something?

*"All Star" oops.

Are the Canes still practicing at th Rec Zone? I can never seem to figure out when George or Wally are there to get my skates sharpened.

Thanks a bunch, I never knew they had that posted. Figures I’m at work in Cary during those times.
