Hey Bubba, I’ve got a new hockey fan I was trying to explain UFA and RFA to….are your archives from all the old CC posts on here?

Cool, thanks. I’m certain you’ve explained it better than I can. No need to re-invent the wheel.

The crowd here doesn’t seem bad, not much to cheer about yet

I’m hoping they were handing out Red Bulls during the intermission. The locker room and the crowd…..

maybe with the Flyers losing, that will help

Ryan Miller is a machine so far tonight. Did he play last night, too?

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:00 PM EDT reply actions  

and maybe not

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 9, 2009 8:00 PM EDT reply actions  

yep, he did

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 9, 2009 8:01 PM EDT reply actions  

I seriously hope they can find a way to neutralize Miller soon.

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:02 PM EDT reply actions  

Looks like we’ve lost Whitney…..maybe, now he’s back on the bench.

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:03 PM EDT reply actions  

hopefully just an equipment issue

It was his right hip. He went down the tunnel with Friesen, but came back out shortly thereafter.

2-0 buffalo? whats up w/that?

by jenniwa30 on Apr 9, 2009 8:05 PM EDT reply actions  

Ugh, really? 2-0? I was hoping for another 18 wins this season…

Hey everyone. What is going on here? These damned sabres are going to beat us here tonight?

Even the Rangers are doing us a favor. These idiots have nothing to play for. WE DO!!!! C’MON CANES!! They can do much better than this…

This is turning into a real stinker. Wonder what its going to take to make the Canes give a damn?

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:09 PM EDT reply actions  

I was REALLY hoping the second would have better results for us than the first…
How does the game look? Are they really playing better than us, or just getting lucky?

by Andrea's evil twin on Apr 9, 2009 8:10 PM EDT reply actions  

I think other than a few short bursts, the Canes look pretty flat. Anybody else?

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

Wow, this is becoming a downer for the end of the week. It’s fan appreciation night for Godsake!!

Have the Canes ever won one of these “shirt off their back” games? I know they lost last year.

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:13 PM EDT reply actions  

oh yes, they are flat

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 9, 2009 8:14 PM EDT reply actions  

Really really?
Well, they wanted to give Leighton some work. They could have just started him…

by Andrea's evil twin on Apr 9, 2009 8:14 PM EDT reply actions  

They should have started him anyways

by jenniwa30 on Apr 9, 2009 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

OUCH!!! JUST checked up on the score WOW!!! This game sucks. Well, better drop the ball now then in the playoffs. Its been so long since we lost in regulation, maybe these players need a little fire under their asses

by PittsburghCaniac on Apr 9, 2009 8:16 PM EDT reply actions  

A loss never helps anyone. Especially this bad ON home ice. Not a great moral boost for the fans at all. This is too reminiscent of the games earlier this year.

Member of Canes Country and the Cat Scratch Reader

by Ivan459 on Apr 9, 2009 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

But, given our recent streaks, we are kinda due. Personally, as a fan that was just hoping for the eight seed in the playoffs a month ago, I really cannot complain. Buffalo is a potent team when Miller plays well. I originally thought this game would be for a playoff spot, so, it could be worse.

by PittsburghCaniac on Apr 9, 2009 8:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

4-0? What the hell is going on?

Helluva a way to throw the home ice advantage situation away….

that might wake them up

Well, Wardo must have been rusty – I mean, he hasn’t played in like 5 days…

by Andrea's evil twin on Apr 9, 2009 8:17 PM EDT reply actions  

good one..

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 9, 2009 8:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

shouldnt have been that rusty though- were they even good goals, or crap?

by PittsburghCaniac on Apr 9, 2009 8:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, nice. Cannot count the other night.

I can’t believe they didn’t call that hit to the head…..

Well, yes, I can. It just sucks.

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:20 PM EDT reply actions  

Seriously though, this pisses me off. A great opportunity they are just letting fall away to this crap team.

holding

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 9, 2009 8:23 PM EDT reply actions  

Not worth it. If they’re going to take penalties, make them worth it. At least smear somebody into the glass or drop the gloves and get the crowd into it.

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

maybe...

they should never have fan appreciation night…last home game, last year?? This game sucks!!!

Don’t mind that high stick, you incompetent idiots in stripes!!!!!

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 8:25 PM EDT reply actions  

This almost reminds me of being at the Sabres-Canes game during the cup run, where we lost the last game of the year and ended up with the 2 seed in the playoffs instead of the 1.

by PittsburghCaniac on Apr 9, 2009 8:28 PM EDT reply actions  

This reminds me a bit of the 9-0 game against Atlanta in 2006

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 9, 2009 8:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah, I accidently went to that game too, where we thought we scored a goal in the third and had it taken back. that game sucked.

That’s because you don’t get in the way of the Chuck Norris of Hockey’s shot.

I’d like to out an APB….. for the Canes physical game!

Seriously, what happened? They were hitting like madmen against Pittsburgh, but tonight, nothing.

I don’t know, we look a lot like the Isles at this point.

well at this point in this game, I would expect us to look like the Isles did tues.

In other words, defeated.

Just breaking his egg would be a victory at this point.

Miller is on, which doesn’t help. Nice stop on Ruutu

GM of CanesCountry.com

by Bob Wage on Apr 9, 2009 9:07 PM EDT reply actions  

Wonder why it is they can’t crowd his crease and get into his head like they can Brodeur’s? Too much risk of injury?

by janeybell on Apr 9, 2009 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

no answer .. :-)

GM of CanesCountry.com

Eric Staal is not even trying. That last shot looked more like he was just trying to get the puck off his stick than a shot.

It is rather ironic that Tuesday we were all cheering for just one more goal, tonight we’re hoping for just one goal, period.

might have something to do with all the gloating I’ve done over the islanders game
