Dan Rosen at NHL.com was able to speak to Eric Staal about the status of brother Marc who has been suffering from post concussion syndrome as a result of a hit by his older brother..."It's a process -- a slow process, but it's a process," Eric said. "He will be back. He's going to play again. His career in hockey isn't over. It's going to take some time, but he needs to make sure he's thinking about himself and his future, making sure he's fully 100-percent healthy, because if you don't, those things can linger for a long time. He has, and now it's about being smart about what you're doing to get back."Right now he's on the right track, and it's about staying on that track."...i got to be honest I wouldn't mind if the Rangers just decided to shut him down for the year. Would rather lose him for one season than bringing him back too early and jeopardize his career.. Rangers have been smart about this so far ...

'Canes Insider: Hurricanes lacking punch

The Hurricanes are trying to put a bad three-day stretch behind them. They lost twice at home, and there was no positive spin coming after Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars. "We gave up 10 goals at home in the last two games," coach Paul Maurice said. "That's just not enough fight." It's a month into the season, and the Hurricanes are already...

Fun with shooting percentages

Shooting percentages and PDO are things that I have been monitoring this year because there's a lot of Canes players who have fallen on some rotten luck this season (Eric Staal comes to mind) while others have been much more fortunate. I know saying a player has been "unlucky" is a lazy way to dismiss their shortcomings, but sometimes that's just what happens. Take...

Washington Capitals vs. Carolina Hurricanes 11/4/11 Scoring Chances

I would mark this game as one of the most frustrating losses of the year. Judging from the boxscore, the Canes were overmatched and blown out but the truth is that Carolina was in this game for a long time and had multiple opportunities to come back but failed and had yet another third period meltdown. I would put this on the same level as the Flyers and Lightning games in terms...

Dallas Stars vs. Carolina Hurricanes 11/6/11 Scoring Chances

I have defended the powerplay for weeks now because while they weren't scoring goals, they were at least creating chances and getting shots on net. That's all I really wanted to see after how terrible it was last season in both areas but I have almost nothing positive to say about how the powerplay performed the last two games. Against Washington, they had four opportunities...

Dallas Stars VS Carolina Hurricanes Game Recap

The Dallas Stars faced the Carolina Hurricanes in the first game of a long road trip.  How would they fare in Sunday’s contest? 1st Period Recap Dallas scored first to take Carolina’s home crowd out of the game.  Then Stephane Robidas executes a slap shot and would score on the power play making his goal the 2nd of the year. Dallas allowed a goal on the power play which...

Tough Extended Weekend Ahead

The Carolina Hurricanes sit tied for last in the Southeastern Division with the Winnipeg Jets and the road doesn’t get any easier for Carolina. This weekend the Hurricanes play at the New York Rangers on Friday and then return home to host the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday and the reigning Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins on Monday. The Canes’ captain is struggling...

Week 4 Performances

In a week where the Canes were 1-2-0 and outscored 12-7 there are bound to be very few positives. That's pretty much what the case is for this past week. With all three games being at home, I expected much better from Carolina and they got off to a good start with a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay, but the next two games were disasters. It's even more frustrating when you bring up...

A frustrating month of hockey

Hmm... it's been almost a month. I suppose I should write something about this team.Overall, the Canes are 5-6-3 with 13 points - enough to gain them 11th in the Eastern Conference and 4th in the Southeast. This is slightly worse than last year around this time, where the Canes were 7-7-0 and 10th in the East. Oh boy.I haven't been keeping up with the team as much as normal...
