There was a surprising trade in the NHL on Dec. 9 when the Carolina Hurricanes sent defenseman Tomas Kaberle over to the Montreal Canadiens in return for fellow Czech Republic defenseman Jaroslav Spacek. The deal came as a bit of a shock to many fans and Kaberle himself since he was signed by Carolina as a free agent just a few months ago. Kaberle was in the first year of a three-year $12.75 million deal.The 33-year-old defenseman was traded from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Boston Bruins late last season and helped Boston win the Stanley Cup. However, he left the Bruins to sign with Carolina during the off season. He admittedly struggled so far this year and has nine assists in 29 games along with a -12 rating.Carolina general manager Jim Rutherford publicly stated that he wasn’t happy with the way Kaberle was playing and said he needed to pick his game up if he wanted to stay with the club. Rutherford was sure Kaberle could help the club and he traded defenseman Joe Corvo to Bos...

Canes Woes Worsened By Injuries

Via Fox Sports Carolinas  |  December 14, 2011
The negatives for the Carolina Hurricanes just keep piling up. The newest news may just be the bottoming out point for the team and franchise: Jeff Skinner has a concussion and his return is unknown. The 19-year-old phenom, who leads the team in goals with 12 and points with 24, was hit in last Wednesday's loss at Edmonton. He worked out the next morning, and it wasn't...

Steven Hindle: More Lars Eller Please

Via HockeyBuzz  |  December 15, 2011
Dane-O-mite! Not sure if anyone has been paying attention to the way Lars Eller has been playing this season, but if you have then you will likely agree with me when I say, more Lars Eller please. The Habs young Dane, acquired in the trade that sent beloved stop-sign Jaroslav Halak to the Blues, has been hidden amidst a team in constant struggle this season, yet after having...

TORONTO — Canes forward Jeff Skinner will miss tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs and his return won't be determined until a medical evaluation in Raleigh.

Canes coach Kirk Muller said...

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Toronto Maple Leafs 12/13/11 Scoring Chances

Via Shutdown Line  |  December 14, 2011
One of the ongoing stories for this season is how the Hurricanes goaltending, specifically Cam Ward, has not been nearly good enough this season. Going into tonight, Ward had a sub-.900 save percentage, an even strength save percentage that's way below the league average and only one quality outing in his last seven games. Last season, he was the main reason why this team was...

Isles fall 5-3 to the Canadiens

Via Islanders Hockey Blog  |  December 14, 2011
By Daniel Friedman Last night's game in Montreal was one the New York Islanders will wish to soon forget. The Canadiens were able to grab the two points by defeating the Isles 5-3 at the Bell Centre. Don't let the (relatively) close score fool you: This was a mismatch from the opening face-off, and though the Isles would eventually wake up, it'd just be too little...

Leafs 2, Canes 1 (OT)

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  December 14, 2011
TORONTO — Canes coach Kirk Muller talked of taking baby steps, and baby steps they have been. Scoring some power-play goals. Those are small steps. Notching a road win in Edmonton. Another small step. Scoring a late goal on the road to force overtime. Another step. Getting Cam Ward completely back on his game would be a big step for Muller and the Canes. But what they got from...
