I just heard on 99.9 (Mike M) that Whitney is out and Boychuk is in tonight. Can anyone confirm?
Let's go Canes!

Boychuk with Cullen and Cole on the 2nd line. Ruutu and the Juice on the first line along with _________.
Maybe Sutter can still get those 4th line minutes?

Boychuck is in position to have the game of his life!! Can you even imagine what it’s like getting called up to a losing team that you thought you made and start on the second line?
I’d puke, hope he does better. If he can find a way to get settled, his speed will be apparent.

He had a point. I still believe they would be better served in the long run by playing tons of minutes a night in the AHL than 4 a night in the NHL. And for a while, that looked like that was going to be the case here, until JR spoke up. It wasn’t that they weren’t ready-it’s clear that they are. It was a looking out for their development thing.

I think you were. He and I fire cheap shots at each other or take a stand on something we may not actually believe to get the ire up of the other. You +1 him on the send down thing so I just lumped you two together and fired away. So while you were making a point he and I were sparring over something that was more vaccous than an actual point.

Right, but I’d argue that a week ago, we would have gotten scored on the first time and then completely fallen apart leading to a final tally of say 5-2.
It’s not much, and it’s not nearly enough, but it’s something.
by caniacgirl on Nov 6, 2009 9:48 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
That something is called “suckage”. This team has no heart and no direction (other than down). The only reason it looked like we played a good game is because Toronto sucks too. Granted, they suck less than we do, but they still suck. We’ve earned our spot in the cellar. We belong there.

I disagree totally about the heart comment.
by caniacgirl on Nov 6, 2009 10:00 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
There are a couple of individual players still playing with heart. But the team has none. Maybe I should have said the team had no clear “identity” or “leader”. That would have made my point more clear.
by East of Here on Nov 6, 2009 10:03 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Ok that makes more sense. I read “no heart” as “not caring” and I don’t think that’s the case. They care. Maybe too much in fact.
But no identity is definitely something I’ll agree with.

I didn’t think we got 60, the second hurt us again. I’d say fair effort in the third, but the second killed us with a bad nasty softy by Ward. No points for sure, game was about like last time except maybe a little more dynamic from the Boychuck addition and line make up.

They showed up for this game and it would have helped heal the team psyche in the longer term for them to have won with that kind of appearance… and for it not to happen, makes it even less likely that they’ll put out a full effort some other night, because the one night they did… Nothin’

Odd ref. to fishing. You spend the big deal on baiting and catching and then reeling in the fish only to totaly dominate it and smack it in the back of the mellon to kill it. So by the time the actual final blow is dealt the battle/sport was way over. That’s kinda where the canes are, no sport left, just a whack on the mellon and onto the fillet board.

I remember a couple of games ago Tripp saying how they had played such a great game when we all thought how awful the play had been… and then today when at least the effort was there for most/all of the game that I watched (I assume with 2 goals in the 1st that the effort was there then – though I did watch the second but the bar is so low at this time…) Forslund complains about the lack of 60 mins…

I’m such a girl. I have a hard time getting down on a guy who’s such a decent guy. Wallin, Leights and Walker are such genuinely good guys that I almost can’t be mean to them.

true, but sometimes ya gotta wish them off the ice for a brief period… (or in leight’s case, on the ice more often under better circumstances)

I feel the same way about all of them. So I’ve decided to quit worrying about the standings and go back to what I’ve always loved about the Canes. Priorities.
Let's go Canes!

Would you rather be a Rangers or Bruins fan? Nah. I like my Hurricanes no matter what.

Now, more than ever, is when they need unconditional support.

I thought A.Ward was definitely better than he has been. Rosey looked good too.
Funny you mention the cookies, I was going to bring everyone cupcakes next Saturday after practice. With inspirational messages on them.

Sammi had a helluva game I thought. Cole had 5 hits. Zach had 2 – here I thought he was the next Whitney. Maybe Ray needs to take notes.
I thought Ruutu looked fragile. Injured or still not over the suspension?

Ruutu-combination of both IMO.
Sammi-good game. Less dancing and more playmaking which I liked.
Cole-I think he really enjoyed playing with Zach. Nothing like a little squirt to keep you honest.
Did you see the shot of Zach in the lockerroom putting his skates on? I think he’s got more bulk to him than Whitney which may be an asset for us.

No – do tell! Before the game – I missed the first 5 or 6 minutes pre-game.

Oh my god. You missed the BEST part of the whole night.
They showed Sammi and John’s voice over said that they thought experience would be enough, but it wasn’t. Then they show this guy (who I didn’t recognize right away) lacing up his skates sans shirt. John’s voice over says how they hope an infusion of youth will be the difference. The mystery guy kind of looks up and I realized it was Boychuk. They then show Brandon sitting in his stall fully dressed.
Without getting too NC-17 on here, Boychuk has a baby face, but looks like a 25 year old without his shirt on.

The report from his first training camp was that he was the best-conditioned athlete in the room, supposedly really cut.
So…marinate on that.

Rush through it as best you can. From my point of view (in Acceptance) I really enjoyed the game. I thought there was a lot to be proud of. It was entertaining. I loved watching Boychuk looking like a sponge – did you see the expression on his face while Ronnie’s was diagramming that last PP? he was in hog heaven – it was beautiful. And Cole has found his “next Eric” in Zach, to mentor. A great thing to watch.

It’s really a much better place to be. Give in to it girlfriend. I loved Cullen and Gleason wearing the A. I mean there was a lot of personal drama going on, much of it good.

I love Gleason wearing the A as well.
Did you see the look on his face during Tripp’s interview? It was a combination of frustration at being pulled away from the game and annoyance that this little man was asking stupid questions.
by caniacgirl on Nov 6, 2009 10:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
that particular little man always asks stupid questions – I would really have liked to have seen the look on timmy ’that’s what happens when you suck’ gleason’s face…

He kept glancing away from the camera, trying to keep his eye on what was happening on the ice. And got more and more terse as it went on. There was even a shrug at one point.
And it’s Tim “I’m going to expletive deleted you up” Gleason.

Mike Maniscalco
just commented that Gleason will make a heckuva captain – no doubt. He didn’t say of the Canes tho.
I love Gleason’s accent.
I thought Tuomo looked non-Ruu-like in his interview. missed the smile from the courtside interview.
Mike M just named Boychuk the winger of the night, behind Sammi.

I’d love to see Tim as the captain of the Canes. He won’t be, but I think it would be a good choice.

He talked to Forslund awhile. Mostly call in and his commentary. Still on if you can stream it.

See, I saw good too, but being in denial about the overall situation, I was looking for something good to build on…

No I really think there was good that goes beyond just looking for something to cling to.

Well crap. I guess at least there is no place to go from here but up.
Farther down really isn’t an issue when you are dead last…
Man yuck.
Anyway, ya’ll take care, I’m out!

Dear Canes,
I just wanted to point out a few things to you, since you saw fit to waste my money again tonight.
First, to Erik Cole. Erik, all the flash and drive and daring drives to the goal don;t mean sh$# if you slam the puck right into the goalie’s left leg every time.
Second, Aaron. Aaron, Aaron, Aaron. What can I say? Go get a cape and a sword and move to Mexico City. Did you stude Frank KaberOle over the summer and decide to fill his spot? Did Scott Walker’s wicked right hand cause amnesia that resulted in an inability to remember how to seal off your man? Or are you just old?
Third. Cam, glove side high. GLOVE SIDE HIGH. For crying out loud. Get a bigger glove.
Fourth. Brindy, just become the conditioning coach already. THe one we have succeeds in getting the whole team hurt every year. At least in that job, you wouldnm’t be scrambling to keep up with kids half your age.
Fifth. Rutherford. You could have taken the money you wasted oin Harrison and Yelle and used it to re-sign Babchuck so we would have someone who actually shot the puck from the point occasionally. Or you could have re-signed Seidenberg. You know, a defenseman who knew that his job was to keep the puck inside the blueline when we’re on offense and outside the blueline when we’re on defense? Yeah, one of those guys.
Oh, and brilliant move keeping Sutter and Boychuck bottled up in Albany for the first 9 games of this losing streak. Brilliant. WHat a judge of talent. It’s ok. I;‘m sure you’ll appreciate them once they are 38 and have played for another team for 10 years. You’ll bring them back for too much money then.
Blow up the team. Blow it up. Trade everyone over 28 for draft picks. Fire the coaching staff. Sign the guys fromt he NCSU club team and put them on the ice for 5 bucks a game. I’d pay to watch that.

Taylor Hall
is going to look pretty sweet in Hurricane Red at the draft next year.

Sutter was our best player tonight, besides Cam. Get him more minutes.
