TEAMS: Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers
This is starting to turn out to be a nice rivalry between the Hurricanes and Panthers. Apparently the Canes are not happy with the outcome of Wednesday's match in South Florida and have asked the league to review the 2 diving penalties called on Chad LaRose and Justin Williams. Alot of Canes are crying out about articles that were written prior to the match in South Florida papers and feel they have swayed the refs to pay closer attention to the Hurricanes. With a rematch coming up on Saturday in Carolina, things could get interesting. Defenseman Bret Hedican was especially testy about the calls…
"We're not a group that dives," defenseman Bret Hedican said. "We're a group that forces teams to play at a higher level and any time you force an opponent to play at a higher level and they can't, what are they gonna do? They're gonna clutch and grab, they're gonna hold, because that's all they can do."
Rutherford was even blunter about the Panthers' complaints.
"Usually what happens when a team's whining about something, they aren't very comfortable with their own team. It may work for a game or so, but in the long run, it doesn't work," Rutherford said. "So we just have to go back to work and play our game and forget about the foolishness that they're trying to put on."
Again, Eddie Belfour thinks your a bunch of diving fools.

Carolina Divers: Eddie the Eagle Takes Flight
Since the Cats took on the Carolina Divers last night I figured I would try to round up that video of Ed Belfour imitating the Carolina Hurricanes during a match up at the BAC last year. If you didn't read, the Hurricanes were pretty pissed off with the diving calls in last nights games.
