I hope that doesnt mean Jussi will be short on ice time.

Ruutu can not go, Dwyer is in for him. The word is that Babchuk is in for Kaberle as well.

Any sense of the crowd? many Pen fans compared to Game #3? Was there much tailgating you could see coming in?

by Carolyn Christians on May 26, 2009 7:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

not as many Pens fans at the moment, but it is quiet right now

they all might still be outside

maybe they should let the Caniacs in first and then lock em out.

I don’t get Babchuk over Kaberle, unless all Mo’s words about tightening the defense as the key to a win was pure talk to mislead the “enemy”. What am I missing?

by Carolyn Christians on May 26, 2009 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

It has been way more than one guy on the blue line not fully doing his job.

What are they gonna do, go out and lose 7-2 at home instead of 6-2? Why not at this point.

by Iggy Reilly on May 26, 2009 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’ve learned not to question Mo at this point, I always end up eating my own words…

They ran a great interview with Mo on 99.9 as I was driving home. I may have thought him a little lifeless before, but he was downright inspiring today. “Feed the hope” is what he kept repeating. If it’s in them, I believe he’ll bring it out of ’em tonight.

No retreat. No Surrender. (Looks like that’s the mantra the Canes Vision folk are going with tonight on the jumbotron, and the scrolling marquee.) Pens fans have already started a “Let’s Go Pens” cheer. (From the 99.9 FM Live Game Blog)

Kennedy? I assume you’re talking about “The Trickler”? My sheet shows that one credited to Talbot. And yeah…no clue. Maybe Cam ran over a squirrel that was a goalie in a previous life?

“Talbot tried a wrister and it deflected high in the air off of Anton Babchuk’s stick – when Ward tried to catch it, it glanced off his glove and into the open net.

That shot could not have been going more than five miles an hour – to say that Ward would like to have that one back would be an understatement."

Sad times for sure. I’m pretty down but you gotta know that the Penguins were just a really superior team. Other than regret you can’t feel bad about this series. Great end to the season and no one can ever take away the 0.2 seconds, the game 7 jersey game, the boston series…you can’t take that away. What a season guys.

THanks Canes and Caniacs for this run. Awesome.

by Carolyn Christians on May 26, 2009 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Got our asses stomped!

It’s almost funny the ’Canes got their asses kicked so hard. What can you do? Pens took it to ’em and never let up.

It’s sad, but I think I’d have hated it much worse if we lost like the Bruins or Devils lost to the ’Canes…. So close but NOT!

I know one thing I never want to hear again and thought jinxed us for the whole series… is that Cam Ward is better than MAF. I don’t think I have to worry about hearing that crap again. That was a stone cold jinx I heard it so much.

Love, love, love the Canes!

by Caniac Jack on May 26, 2009 10:11 PM EDT reply actions  

I'll also say, the last time our playoffs ended in an extended standing O in the face of a 4-1 defeat...

We went to The Cup the next year. We lost to the Devils at home 4-1 in 2001 and went to the finals the next season.

Love, love, love the Canes!

I just hope it’s not another 3-4 year long playoff drought ahead. Going to be an interesting off-season to see what direction Jim Rutherford takes the team. I think this series highlighted a need for more firepower, but also for more consistent defensive play.

If history repeats itself we go to the Finals not miss the playoffs.

Caniac Song

I wrote a song during the first series but haven’t put the music to it yet…

I wish I’d have written it earlier and youtubed it, but didn’t. Maybe next year for the run.

Well I love the Carolina Hurricanes
I do anything not to miss their games
I’d climb Mt. Everest,
I’d break out of jail
Catch a Greyhound bus,
or ride by rail
Gotta move fast
not slow like snail
If I have to I’ll send myself airmail

Because I Love love love the Canes’
I Love the Carolina Hurricanes
Love love love the Canes
Love the Carolina Hurricanes

I go on down to the RBC
Tailgate with Caniac’s just like me.
I park underneath a long leaf pine tree
Bring a grill, chairs, Satelite TV
Fly a Storm Warning Flag
so I can be seen
by all the Caniacs who are just like me
do the Caniac dance just like me
spin yourself around just like me
do the Caniac dance just like me
spin yourself around just like me
cause all I wanna do is just be seen
by all the Caniacs who are just like me

Love love love the Canes’
I Love the Carolina Hurricanes
Love love love the Canes
Love the Carolina Hurricanes

Well I rock all night when I go to the games
Cause when the puck drops
Carolina Hurricanes
start whupp’n butt
and taking names.
And when they score
I go insane
Ric Flair yells WOOOOOOO! WOOOOO-WOOOOOOOOOO!
Then Caniacs make it rain
a chorus of cheers
louder than a jet plane
And lead their team to
ANOTHER CAROLINA GOAL
do the Caniac dance just like me
spin yourself around just like me
do the Caniac dance just like me
spin yourself around just like me
cause all I wanna do is just be seen
by all the Caniacs who are just like me

Love love love the Canes’
I Love the Carolina Hurricanes
Love love love the Canes
Love the Carolina Hurricanes

The Babchuck Bomb
from the Whitney Feed,
Rosey talkin smack
Brind’Amour in the lead
Erik Cole lights the lamp
Cam stands on his head
The brightest star is Staal
I call him Eric the Red
Jussi and Joni I love what ya do and
the hardest hitt’n Finn is Tuomo Ruuuuuutuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Tim Joe Matt
Dennis Patrick Sergei
and the Secret Weapon
Nicky always saves the day

Love love love the Canes’

I may be at fault

I had to trim (not shave, just manscape) my beard for a friend’s wedding, right after the end of the Boston series. Coincidence? Maybe. But I swear I’ll let it go full Amish the next time they’re in the playoffs, come hell or high water.

*shakes hands*

From PensBurgh, I’d like to say good series. Hope Cole is alright as well. Got clunked on a weird play behind net. That said, loved the great loud fan base you’ve had throughout the playoffs.

Wish you guys well for next season, cheers Caniacs!

I want to hear more about Ward’s back injury. When did it happen? I wonder if it was a good idea to play him rather then let him rest.

by hip_check on May 26, 2009 10:18 PM EDT reply actions  

My wife said the same thing. My response is the same I gave her: “An 80% Cam Ward is still better than a 100% Michael Leighton”. Not a dig on Leighton, but fact is he’s a very green backup, not a seasoned journeyman.

by RedKing75 on May 26, 2009 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nope, not for me...

In hindsight I really wish Leighton would have gotten a shot early in Game 3.

Love, love, love the Canes!

Cam was a green backup

Great Series Guys…You guys had one hell of a year and the Upset of #1 Boston was definately one of the big highlights…you guys have alot of Talent and a very bright future ahead of you…see you in the playoffs next year and once again congratulations on a Fantastic Season.

Great series, guys. Can’t wait to see you back in the Playoffs next year. Please beat Washington to a bloody pulp in the regular season, too. Can’t wait to see E. Staal take the league by storm next year.

Well, the Canes had a great season, and they have a great future.

On the other hand, they are a much better team than they showed in this series and should NOT AT ALL be satisfied with how this season ended. I hope they remember how this series feels.

by Iggy Reilly on May 26, 2009 10:22 PM EDT reply actions  

Ditto. This is the kind of late collapse that should really light a fire under them next season (those who are still around, at least).

Have pride in your team

I’m a NJ Devils fan, and I just have to tell you that the Canes have played a most outstanding playoff run. They faced a ruthless NJ Devils and pulled a miracle in a G7 with 80 secs, which can only be accomplished by giving heart and soal every second. They faced a top seeded (dirty playing) Bruins and won in another G7.
I had to put away my jersey in April (thank you)… You had yours out a week before June!!! I know how it feels to have your season end (in the worst possible way) But my hat is off to your coach P Maurice. He’s been a crafty coach which is why you were able to get this far.
Canes have been a worthy opponent. I’m looking forward to a rematch next year in a ECF Series.
