After the Carolina Hurricanes let another game go in the last few seconds of overtime last night it feels like the Hurricanes season is dwindling down. The Hurricanes earned themselves a point on the road in overtime in Denver, but the Hurricanes are still in last place in the Eastern Conference with 51 points. The Hurricanes need roughly, at the least 90 points to make the playoffs...

However, Jim Rutherford GM of the Carolina Hurricanes has told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun we will try to re-sign Tuomo Ruutu instead of trading him. After a meeting between the two...

During the Hurricanes-Ducks telecast on FS-Carolina the other night, the announcers mentioned that Carolina defenseman Justin Faulk should be considered in the Calder Trophy race for the NHL's best rookie. If you watch the Hurricanes every night or follow them at all, you can certainly make a case for Faulk being one of the NHL's top rookies. He plays 20+ minutes a night...

We all know that Paul Stastny is master of the universe, but I mean, come on. Sam Gagner has to be making a push, right? Three signs that he is making a push to usurp Stastny's rule.1) See Above. That is his war cry, and associated battle charge. Stick out like a spear.2) In his last 5 games, Gagner has 8 goals and 7 assists (making a pace better than the entire Minnesota Wild...

The Colorado Avalanche and the Carolina Hurricanes will face off tonight at Pepsi Center for military appreciation night. The Hurricanes are last in the Eastern Conference, a disappointing placement for a young team that was hoping to be in the hunt. The Avalanche currently sit 12th in the Western Conference and are actually one point better than they were through the same number...

It is always a bummer when a great game is decided on a horrible call and that is what happened tonight in the Canes 3-2 OT loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Both teams played a strong game and the Canes had one of their better road efforts of the year but unfortunately, they ended up walking away with only one point when it very well could have been two.
The call (or non-call I should...

Sometimes you have to fight for every single point in the NHL. Some nights, you have to fight even harder. The Ducks fought hard enough on Wednesday night against the Carolina Hurricanes to get a 3-2 overtime win.There were no formal fights on the ice. Not even roughing penalties. But every shift was a battle for both sides in a well matched game between two teams languishing...

Here is some video yours truly shot today of Matt Duchene at the Avs’ practice facility. Keep in mind, I ain’t no Martin Scorsese, but what do you want from me.
I have a brief story on how he looked up on the Post’s main site, but will let you see for yourself how he looked today. The first one of him is doing mostly figure-8s:
The other one is just more regular skating:
