Staal to miss at least three games

Found November 03, 2009 on Lord Stanley's Blog:
PLAYERS: Eric Staal
TEAMS: Carolina Hurricanes,  Florida Panthers

Carolina_hurricanes_v_a00c
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 Pittsburgh on March 19, 2004, near the end of his rookie season, with what was described then as a "torso" injury. He was back in the lineup the next night in Ottawa, and every game since, 342 regular-season and 44 playoff games in total, until Wednesday's game at the Florida Panthers.

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. Staal has played in 349 consecutive regular-season games, but that streak will end, Rutherford said. He has missed just one game in his career, late in his rookie season. Staal left after the second period of the...

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...

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.

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 03, 2009

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...

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 everythingâ€...

Canes @ Panthers

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 04, 2009
SUNRISE, Fla. -- When the Canes pounded the Panthers 7-2 on Oct. 9, who would have believed they would come to Florida on Nov. 4 looking for their next win? No changes in pregame lines or defensive pairs.  Brandon Sutter was the fourth-line center with Stephane Yelle and Tom Kostopoulos. ... Former Cane defenseman Dennis Seidenberg has six assists for the Panthers. That tops Jussi...

Rutherford Will Try To Fix Canes

Via Kuklas Korner  |  November 02, 2009
from Paul Branecky of CarolinaHurricanes.com, Rutherford indicated he would like to make changes to his team, but acknowledged that would be difficult given the early stage of the season. Teams looking to add players take on a bigger financial responsibility now than they would at the trade deadline, and many don’t have substantial cap space following recent off-season signings...

Canes can't win for losing

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  November 05, 2009
SUNRISE, Fla. -- When will it end? Friday, against the Toronto Maple Leafs? The next day, at Columbus? Next week? Later in the month? The Hurricanes will win another game at some point, but it's hard to guess when. Or how. For those who may be wondering, the franchise had a 10-game winless streak within a season in 1993-94. From Oct. 16 to Nov. 6, 1993, the Hartford Whalers...
