Clicks and Clippings: Tales of the Walking Wounded

Canes Using Break to Heal - Carolina Hurricanes - from Tracking the Storm Blog: "We’ve got 13 guys on the ice. We need [this 4-day break]," said Coach Paul Maurice after Wednesday’s practice. "We’ve battled injuries, but I think the bigger challenge for us is the number of players we’ve had in our lineup that aren’t 100 percent. We had the day off yesterday with the idea of putting as many guys out there as we could, and we still only have 13 skaters. We clearly have some issues that we’re tending to right now." According to the lgc_com twitter feed here's who was missing in action at the RecZone this morning: Chad LaRose, Brandon Sutter, Jussi Jokinen, Sergei Samsonov and Ray Whitney. And, given his uncommon twitter silence, apparently ice_chip didn't make it either.
Canes Now - Canes short in practice Also confirms that while it's not firm, Mo is still hoping Cam Ward will return to man the pipes one week from tonight in New Jersey. Is it too early to speculate if it'll be Manny Legace or Michael Leighton in the #2 role?
Canes lose Corvo - NewsObserver.com With all the gory details you didn't want to know: Hurricanes head athletic trainer Peter Friesen said Joe Corvo's Achilles tendon was cut, but most of the damage was done to the muscle attached to the tendon. Friesen said the cut came very close to the neurovascular bundle, a bunch of nerves and arteries. Had those been severed it would have been much worse, he said. "You can lose function of your foot," Friesen said. "Then you definitely don't play high-level sports again."
Also this description from Tim Gleason on his knee-to-knee collision with some winger on the Caps team: "It was just a charley horse, and I got lucky. I watched the hit 15 times last night. I guess the more you watch it, the worse it gets. ... It's tough to say anything. It's more of a reaction than saying he stuck his knee out on purpose. I'm sure he didn't do that [on purpose]."
Losses could actually help Canes - WRALSportsFan.com with comments from Rutherford late Tuesday
AUDIO links from 99.9 the Fan - ESPN Radio's audio vault:
John Forslund discusses the Caps game and other issues Tuesday noon
Jim Rutherford's call-in from Wednesday morning about his expectations going from here
The Big Tailgate :: Puck Drops Audio Link from Monday - Brian LeBlanc talks about the state of hockey in Raleigh with the Hurricanes' on-staff hockey writer Dave Droschak. "Dro" likes Brandon Sutter and Bryan Rodney as "ready for the bigs" and thinks Zach Boychuk (and the rest of the 'Rats) needs a bit more time before they are ready for the NHL (and it's partly because the atmosphere in the Raleigh locker room is not great - ouch). They touch on the "Captain dilemma", and project when EStaal will take it over (with no doubt of who next will wear the C - sigh). A new well-spoken and outspoken ' Insider's take of what's going on in the Canes' locker room. Worth your time. (If you listen to through to the end, the guys are apparently regular readers here at CC - were your ears burning, kiddos?)
Speaking of David Droschak, he put out a piece this afternoon on Canes veteran Nikki Wallin whose been through this team's roller coaster history since 2001: David Droschak: Secret Weapon Still Beating Odds Opening line: As I approached Niclas Wallin this week to discuss his impending 500th NHL game with the Carolina Hurricanes, he looked up at me and said "Do you believe I’m still here?" (there's a softball for a few of you)
NHL Network Online - Carolina Hurricanes: U.S. Hockey Hall: Tom Barrasso On December 1st, 2009 former Pittsburgh Penguin goaltender Tom Barrasso was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. I can't seem to let this story go, but this video clip is great to see. Brush up on your Hurricanes History folks:

Updates on Prospects and Juniors
An update from Albany: Albany River Rats: River Rats Latest News Gives a Week 9 re-cap and Week 10 preview. Apparently Justin Peters, the #4 goalie in the Canes system, showed up just in time to get the nod and the win in Norfolk on Saturday.
Rats have no shortage on defense - Times Union - Albany NY:: From a week ago: With 8 men for 6 roster positions on the blueline, the Rats have D-men to spare. Sounds like the Hurricanes might be able to help them out of that quandary.
Moving even younger, USA Hockey has announced the preliminary 29-man roster for the US Junior Team today. And in Canada, where they take this process VERY seriously, TSN gave 30 minutes of LIVE Coverage of the dual-language announcement of the 36 invitees, from the tournament site in Saskatchewan. Both the US and Canadian junior teams will compete at the IIHF World Junior Championship, December 26, 2009 through January 5, 2010, in Saskatoon and Regina. Here's the Canadian first cut for Team Canada's Junior Selection Camp. Named on the list: 2010 NHL Draftees Tyler Hall, Taylor Seguin, Brandon Gormley, and John McFarland (and you'll recognize those names if you've been reading comments at the blog over the last month that look at the upside of finishing at the bottom.) Rookie John Tavares, now in the hunt for the Calder Trophy playing for the formerly-lowly New York Islanders, offered some kind words for the Canadian Juniors.
Which segues nicely to this piece: McKenzie: Leading up to the 2010 NHL Draft - Taylor or Tyler? It will be the most oft-asked question leading up to the 2010 NHL Entry Draft - Taylor or Tyler? NHL Central Scouting ranked Plymouth centre Tyler Seguin No. 1, ahead of Windsor winger Taylor Hall, on CSB's preliminary rankings for the Ontario Hockey League.
Alrighty then
Last, I haven't ever seen anything quite like this: some Live TV fun with the Pittsburgh Penguins : Video: As a woman, Mike Rupp would totally date Bill Guerin - Puck Daddy Can't wait until Tripp finds a way to bring this youtube gem up on the next broadcast from the Igloo (which, BTW, is next Monday).

Some good stuff here. Very glad Corvo didn’t end up worse of than he is. Sounds like it could have been pretty bad.
On Staal inheriting the captaincy; I’m not against it. True, he hasn’t been the All-Star he’s supposed to be this season (wanna bet he’ll still be on the All-Star team?) but he has been great for the ‘Canes every year previous. His consistency has been in question the past few years but the fact is we’ve hitched our wagon to him for the next several years and it a) shows great faith in him to give him the ‘C’ and b) might give him the added push of responsibility to produce and, like he has in the past, put this team on his back from time to time.
Some players play their best under pressure and I think Staal has shown he’s that kind of player. Wouldn’t it be nice to see Staal with the ‘C’ and Gleason with the ‘A’?

No thanks,
Gleason as the C, Staal as the A. And theres no All Star game this season b/c the Olympics.
This season would be really tough if I didn't drink the misery away.
Right you are about the All-Star game, I forgot.

Great finds HM. You ought to seriously consider making a Canes Country newsletter. This is a pretty nice thing you do for us all on here. Thanks!
I really hope Staal isn’t the heir apparent for the new captain, Guy isn’t showing much right now, and Gleason is looking more like Captain material (just needs to stay on the ice instead of getting game misconducts).
Member of Canes Country and the Cat Scratch Reader
Thanks Ivan – appreciate the suggestion. Interesting this Captain situation, isn’t it? Captures the imagination and addresses some core issues of the future of the team.

Great Article and Links
What was your take on the timing of the Wallin article? Coincidence or not?
Any thoughts on the subject of the locker room not being that great? Obviously, any sports team has a hard time in the locker room when the team is swan diving.
I think the organization will name Staal as the next captain; but I could be wrong.
The Wallin story was simply about him reaching his 500th game as a Hurricane. Quite a landmark.
On locker room atmosphere: listen to the Puckdrops post – he talks about the locker room being quiet and lacking confidence. He uses the word confidence repeatedly, especially, and with some surprise, when mentioning the vets.(It’s long but has some pretty in-depth observation, many of which you will recognize as building from our conversations here, at the end as I said)
I’m 95% sure Staal will be our next Captain, because that was decided in 2006. It’s a shame they didn’t leave themselves more wiggle room in the public eye to make the decision in the moment, when it’s needed, appropriate to the situation of 2010 (or, shudder, 2011) . I wonder if that’s part of the chemistry problem with Brindy no longer holding the scepter as high. Perhaps they still will re-evaluate when the moment arrives. Let’s hope so – even if it’s Staal, I don’t like foregone conclusions.

So I might of been trolling or looking for trouble. I was reading about the AO hit and they started talking junk about CanesCountry. So I just ask them how far did they go in last years playoff and within 3 min. I was kicked out givin a warning and couldn’t post anymore. It wouldn’t even let me respond to the Crap fans I pissed off. I guess I lost that battle, serves me right, Cap fans suck.

Ha, I just went over there and rad what you wrote, and I’m pretty surprised. THAT got you banned? Sensitive bunch.
That said, I think a few of us need to maybe need a chill pill. It doesn’t do us any favors to be inciting crap, or taking the bait of visitors looking to stir up conflict. If something pisses you off, consider taking the high road. Just my opinion.

I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. They (a couple of them) came over here and started slinging shit, and are now crying about getting shit thrown back at them. This is basic Internet 101. Happens all the time. Besides, when you (and Paladin and maybe a couple of others) were obviously slinging shit back just to piss them off, it is kinda sad when they go back home and disingenuously misrepresent your posts as a comprehensive viewpoint of the whole Canes community.
Overall, I don’t think they are too bad over there. A lot of their posters seem to be relatively knowledgeable and objective in their posts on their own board, so maybe it’s just the usual internet pissing contest thing when they come over here. Everybody wants to claim the moral high ground. But hell, if we all agreed, the internet would suck worse than our power play…
Trolls at the gates!!! You gonna be there Sat.?
A
The Canes are like a box of expired chocolates......
Yep.
Trying to muster a group, but I don’t know if I can pull it off for a 1:30 game. A couple of us should be there early though. You know where we’ll be. I can let you know as things develop, in case everybody bails or something.
I also think they’re at a loss on how to deal with the Ovie suspension. How about a humble “I’m sorry” – like their hero said in the press announcement. Be a whole lot simpler on everyone.

by Carolyn Christians on Dec 2, 2009 9:27 PM EST up reply actions
Yep.
Coming here right after the incident to try to argue that Ovenchicken is a classy player who does no wrong (how it comes across) and that it was Gleason’s fault (?) was bad timing. Especially given the Ovenchicken’s recent history. But of course, every incident was the other player’s fault. It reminds me of something my dad used to tell me:
“If you smell shit everywhere you go, you might want to take a look in your own pants.”
I don’t think anyone said it was Gleason’s fault, and most agree that Ovechkin was reckless and have no problems with the 2 game suspension. There are always the hardcore minorities, but those are few. But at the same time, most think Ovechkin is simply emotional and reckless, not classless and dirty like some other players. Not lady byng classy, but not class less.
It’s sad that this has caused so many problems. I like reading this blog because it’s crazy how our biggest SE rival is falling apart this year. There are some intelligent comments here, but there have been so many others recently that it isn’t even worth reading anymore. It’s a shame. Maybe it will be worth reading again after a few weeks.
Reasonable take. But there’s one thing to keep in mind. This is OUR house. I can understand Caps fans wanting to defend Ovenchicken. But if you come here to do it, you can expect to interact with the entire spectrum of fans. Taking the bait, and then getting pissy is assinine. If the people here had gone to Japer’s to bitch, and the conversation took place there, then you guys would have every right to get pissy. But to come here and engage in insults (regardless of who started it) is just stirring a pot that doesn’t need stirring.
And yes, just FYI, several posters blamed Gleason for the hit. Some suggested that Gleason should have just let “O” steamroll him, rather than try to avoid the hit, and therefore it was all Gleason’s fault. That is, of course, ridiculous.

True — they did take Paladin’s bait, hook, line, sinker…still, I think we could stand to lose the personal attacks. Again, just my opinion.

You know what’s really funny? It’s Japers’ RInk – but nobody in the SBN NHL group (the people who write) ever get it right and now tease JP mercilessly with poor spellings of his blog name.
