Sporting News staff reports Carolina Hurricanes forward Eric Staal is expected to miss a few games because of an upper body injury suffered Sunday against the San Jose Sharks. The injury will end a streak of 349 consecutive regular-season games played for Staal. "When things go wrong, they go wrong," Rutherford told The News & Observer of Raleigh, N,C, "All teams have to deal with injuries. We have enough players to step up but we'll have to do it with confidence at an all-time low." Carolina is on a nine-game losing streak.

Rutherford: Staal to miss some games

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 02, 2009
Canes center Eric Staal will miss some games because of an upper-body injury suffered Sunday against the San Jose Sharks, general manager Jim Rutherford said today.

Eric Staal has been a constant in the Carolina lineup for all but one game of his career, but he's going to miss at least the next three games. Hurricanes coach Paul Maurice described the "upper body" injury that knocked Staal out of Sunday's loss as a "week to week" proposition after practice on Tuesday. Staal missed the Hurricanes' game at...

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 03, 2009
Defenseman Jay Harrison, whom the Carolina Hurricanes picked up in free agency in July, has been reassigned to the Albany River Rats, the team’s AHL affiliate.

Rutherford accepts blame for poor start

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 02, 2009
Jim Rutherford said he accepts the blame for the Carolina Hurricanes' stumbling start. With the Hurricanes 2-8-3, 14th in the Eastern Conference and winless in their last nine games, the general manager said today that he still believes in his coaching staff and players. But he said some offseason decisions and the shortening of preseason training camp was a mistake, and said...

Sharks 5, Hurricanes 1

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 01, 2009
Make it nine losses in a row. The Carolina Hurricanes were beaten 5-1 by the San Jose Sharks on Sunday at the RBC Center. The Canes (2-8-3), who have not won since Oct. 9 against Florida, led 1-0 early in the second on Brandon Sutter's second goal in as many games, then quickly gave it up to trail 3-1 after two periods. The Sharks (10-4-1), who have won their last five...

Rutherford's free pass for Maurice baffling

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 04, 2009
You would think that with how awful the Hurricanes have been to start the season, there would be no shortage of blame to go around -- players, management, coaching staff, everyone. So it’s interesting that in general manager Jim Rutherford’s surprisingly critical self-analysis with the N&O’s Chip Alexander on Monday that he second-guessed himself for nearly everything...

Have Canes reached that 'point" yet?

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 04, 2009
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Canes defenseman Niclas Wallin has been with the teams long enough to go through a lot of highs and lows. A nine-game losing streak qualifies as a low. It also appears injured center Eric Staal might be out two-to-four weeks, not just a few games. Another low. But Wallin said there has been enough talk and video sessions and practice and systems work and morale...

Hurricanes Struggle

Via Kuklas Korner  |  November 01, 2009
After making the semi-finals in the 2009 playoffs, it appeared that the Carolina Hurricanes would have a strong 2009/10 season.  So far that hasn’t been the case.  The Hurricanes had a solid start winning two of their first four games, including a 7-2 victory over the Florida Panthers, but they haven’t won any games since.  This gives Carolina a league leading...
