Clicks and Clippings: Sounds of Music

After a light practice with big smiles, some laughter and a full roster (and then some) at the Rec Zone at noon Thursday, the Canes are headed to Sunrise, Florida for the first half of their home-and-home with Southeast Division rivals the Florida Panthers this weekend. After the Canes amazing Finnish finish last night, the music that reflected the smile on Tuomo Ruutu's face after his first hat trick at the RBC Center, seemed still to be playing in the less glamorous confines on West Hodges Street.
Good news: Tim Gleason returned for his first outing on the ice with his teammates since returning from last week's roadtrip Monday. You can check out the camera-phone image captured through the glass today to confirm he is indeed on the mend. All Hail! However, Tim and Niclas Wallin did not make the trip, and Coach Paul Maurice stated after practice that they should both return to the line-up on Saturday when the Panthers come to Raleigh.
For those of you tracking who Coach Mo is working with now, present on the ice today:
All the NHL'ers were present, excluding Chad LaRose, Erik Cole and Sergei Samsonov. Niclas Wallin and Tim Gleason who have both missed games lately were both out with the group. In addition to Brandon Sutter, who I think we can safely say has earned his place as an NHL regular, add in these call-ups from Albany: forward Patrick Dwyer, and three count 'em three defensemen Bryan Rodney, Brett Carson and Jay Harrison. By my count that is 11 forwards, 8 defensemen and 2 goalies.
The local media was all over Gleason at his first appearance since the weekend, and Tim obliged them with some great lines:
Gleason Upbeat Despite Injury - Carolina Hurricanes - Paul Branecky Here's a typically memorable excerpt from Gleason's recollection of his "Ovechkin moment" last Friday: "The shift I got out there I saw him coming down and I wanted to give it to him," he recalled. "I hit him so hard, but it didn’t really move him. He’s a solid human being." Although it didn’t contribute to his injury, the hit may have actually done more harm than good in the short term. "The red stuff on my face scattered onto my visor and I couldn’t really see much after that, so I had to go back and clean it up. That was kind of funny," he said, before seeing the surrounding reporters’ reactions and trailing off somewhat. "At least I thought it was funny at the time."
Canes Now - Gleason back in practice "I probably should have taken it lightly on Saturday," Gleason said. "I just kind of went with it. I didn’t feel like I was all there on Saturday, but I thought I was good enough. … I think Sunday it did hit me."
Gleason: A nod to the old school - Canes - NewsObserver.com Carolina Hurricanes assistant coach Tome Rowe calls defenseman Tim Gleason "old school." Veteran winger Scott Walker prefers "old-time hockey" in talking about him.
The other development in the Canes organization comes to us only through a single tweet from TSN's Bob McKenzie:
Carolina puts Mike Ryan on waivers. from UberTwitter
Center Michael Ryan, who suffered a concussion pre-season, has been skating in Albany but has not played a game there yet. This move suggest he must be getting close to 100%. He is also listed as 5th in theCanes depth chart at center.

See how the top-ranked Pittsburgh Penguins have turned shootout practice into making team merriment (and unlike the Tampa Bay Lightning, everyone is allowed to keep his clothes on).

Speed, Speed, and More Speed
Absolutely right about the critical and urgent need to add speed, speed, and more speed to this team. Sutter’s speed has made a tremendous difference already. Boychuk is also extremely fast and that bodes well for next year. Tlusty also showed his speed in his short stint with Carolina.
Coaches use the expression, “speed kills;” and they are correct. Nothing changes the dynamic of a team as well and as quickly as adding skilled speed at forward and on defense. The corollary is also true, “slowness kills.” An overabundance of slow defensemen and slow forwards are the death of any NHL team that is based on intense fore checking and back checking. The Hurricanes have a number of very quick forwards who possess average to above average speed.
This year as the Hurricanes tweak the team with an eye toward next year, the addition of speed is going to make the games much more exciting. The new speed will make the other Hurricanes skate harder and faster — a positive impact I’ve seen with having Sutter on the team. Players on his line skate harder to keep up with him.
I think by the start of next season, the Hurricanes will go from being a older, quick team that overall is not as fast as one would want ideally, to a young, fast, and exciting team. I imagine there will also be excitement added by the inexperience factor as plays get made that old, experienced NHL players would not make.
Whitney and Cullen -- To Trade or Not to Trade, That is the Question
Virtually all the blog/commentator/analysts who consider themselves to be experts on the subject have concluded Whitney and Cullen will be traded — at least by the trade deadline. I think it is a difficult decision for Jim Rutherford.
Whitney game after game shows spine, leadership, and uncanny skill. He doesn’t act his age on or off the ice; and brings a spirit and sense of adventure the Hurricanes need. In many ways, Cullen is playing his best hockey since he’s been a Hurricane. Cullen also is one of the fastest Hurricanes, and speed is a precious commodity on this team.
Ultimately, I think it would take some tremendous offers for either Whitney or Cullen. Whitney has an NTC and I think he would have to feel the team that wanted him had a strong shot at a Stanley Cup to leave Raleigh. Increasingly, I see Whitney has head coach material in the future. He combines hockey intelligence, a quiet will to succeed, and the charismatic personality that would make for an outstanding head coach. I could see him working a few years as an assistant coach and then becoming the head coach.
Cullen, too, is increasingly becoming a quiet leader on the team. As the team goes with the youth movement, there is a very logical argument for having some grey beards to settle the team down when the inevitable clunker game hits. The key for NHL teams is to move quickly beyond the clunker without dwelling on the failure. When the season began I thought Cullen was a sure-thing as a trade; but given his outstanding play, I wonder if other teams will give up what it would take to obtain him.
Well they are UFAs, if they really wanted to play here next year they could just come back anyway. A deep cup run on a playoff team would also boost both player’s value which I’m sure they would be interested in.
They are just a wasted asset if they play out the season here only to resign as a free agent. They both are playing very well which is increasing there value, most analysts have both Cullen and Whitney as some of the most desirable cup rental players in the whole league. The Canes should capitalize on this opportunity closer to the trade deadline and collect prospects/picks.
This went up late yesterday – talking with #4-Ward, calling from Sunrise, Florida.
""The Aaron Ward Show" – how does a veteran hockey player with 3 Stanley Cups rings but put on waivers for the first time in his career handle his weekly radio show? Listen here.
I did like his suggestion to Coach Roy Williams on how to avoid fan-gate next time.

RUUTU'S HAT TRICK
I was at the RBC when Ruutu arrived from the airport on his first day as a Hurricane. It is memory I really will never forget. Then to see Ruutu get a hat trick after all the travails he and the team have endured was another tremendous memory.
I am hoping the crowds will return to the RBC. The fact that the team played poorly at the start of the year is inarguable. There is still plenty of great hockey to watch in this season, even if the playoffs are out of reach.
Michael Ryan
Update from Albany on what’s expected from him the rest of the month:
from “The Infestation”
Gleason for the "C" :
Just what do we need to do to make this happen?
Bryan Rodney
Any word on whether Rodney has been reassigned to Albany?
Nope, Rodney went to Florida – they need him with Wallin and Gleason not making this quick trip. Same roster tonight as they put out vs Dallas.
However, with Wallin and Gleason expected to return Saturday (tomorrow), it will be interesting which 2 of the 3 Rats that are here will get the return tickets. Seems like Rodney ought to stay with our 2 big guys (Carson, Harrison) returning to Albany. Rodney also had 2 assists the other night including his “Pits-like” move on the feed to Jussi. Perhaps he’s been watching some tape from Raleigh in his off hours.
Any thoughts?
Also – the Rats only have 5 Dmen with a game tonight. We’ve been robbing the cradle I guess. Watching to see if they bring someone up from the Everblades or only play 5, which seems unlikely – Mc Bain will get some serious ice time..

McBain -- excellent article
Here’s a link to an excellent article on McBain. I know from conversations and emails with folks in the Canes organization that they are very excited about McBain’s potential. I am hoping McBain, Rodney, Carson, and Harrison will live in the weight room during the off-season.

The kid also needs to spend every waking moment eating. Maybe he could lift weights with one hand and eat with the other?
"This guy is as meat and potatoes as there is of a man."

To increase his speed.....
just have CG chase him.
No, wait. He might really enjoy being caught…..
Have the guys from Chippendales chase him.
Happerry Chrisolkwanaka
This would work better I think.
"This guy is as meat and potatoes as there is of a man."
Gleason for Emperor!
I would say have him chase you,
but I don’t want you to to get hurt when you both run INTO each other.
Happerry Chrisolkwanaka
LOL I don’t know who would have the better odds of ending up on the floor when we ran into each other.
"This guy is as meat and potatoes as there is of a man."

No disrespect is intended I assure you.
but to the rest hockeymomof2, I’m reading the porn-stache thing below.
So of course, it must be me and my pal Paladin. We are unworthy. Or at least I am, can’t really speak for Paladin on that.
Are you going to be there for the Cry-A-Thon tonight? You’re one of the people I’d like to meet.
Happerry Chrisolkwanaka
That was LTD
I liked the moustache boy video/concept from the Pens – I thought it was an interesting exploration to apply to our Canes, while we wait for the week to end and the game to start. It was LTD who used the term “porn-stache” – and if she’s not the most decent lady on the boards, I don’t know who is.
I was thinking along the “my name is Earl” – just like you. Right there, you can see the difference in LTD’s and my apparent TV viewing habits. (any response to that, LTD?)
Nope, sorry and thanks for the special invite – no cryathon for hockeymom. Too much I gotta do this pre-Christmas weekend. Rumor has it Beefkabob will make a cameo though.

Couple things.
First, thanks HM! LCD, if you’ll notice, I’m not usually a participant in the way-off-topic tangents that occur in the game threads.
Second, talking about moustaches on hockey players in a hockey forum sounds rather on-topic and not all that tangential, doesn’t it?
Third, HM, ABSOLUTELY Cullen looks like Earl with his porn-stache. But the rest of the time he looks like Tom Cavanagh.
SISU
Of course, there's just two of you.....
I wonder where the porn-stache thing would go if a few more of you ladies were on and posting. All I know is it would be fun to read! ;-)

Sutter -- weight room and power skating
Sutter definitely needs to hit the weight room and needs to work with a solid nutritionist. I will mention again that virtually the entire Hurricanes team ought to show up at whatever rink Sutter was working out to join in Sutter’s power skating regime. Sutter made an amazing improvement with his skating and particularly his speed and acceleration.
I’d also hire Sutter’s power skating coach to come to Raleigh during the Olympic break and have him work with the Hurricanes and the Albany Rats.
Gotta bail on the Cry a thon. This storm is going to be the real deal up here. I need to prepare for losing power (inevtable), and hunkering in for a few days 0of peace and quite.
I hope to meet everyone one day, just not going to be today.
A
The Canes are like a box of expired chocolates......
I’m wondering if the weather is terrible, especially overnight, if the teams (Canes and Panthers) will be able to fly back to RDU or will wait till tomorrow. That would mess up their game-day routine, but at least it would be shared by both teams.

Fabian Brunnstrom Various Hockey Video Links
Given Brunnstrom’s unexceptional play in the game Wednesday, I thought I’d post some links to some various hockey videos of Brunnstrom. He has talent, I think, and given his lackluster play thus far for Dallas perhaps he could be obtained at a reasonable price. Obviously, he is not a guaranteed success; but I believe his lack of productivity is more about the Dallas system and less about his innate ability.
If these links don’t work due to youtube issues, just search Fabian Brunnstrom at www.youtube.com.

So if the Canes borrowed the Pens’ shoot-out drill with the Moustache-boy theme, who would you most like to lose?
I’m thinking Sutter could look get advice from an uncle on proper grooming. Whitney could be cute? Ruuty?
