RALEIGH, NC --- The Carolina Hurricanes are the hottest team in the Eastern Conference. That isn't an aberration, they are a darn good club.
After starting the season 0-2, the Canes are 8-2-1 and are 5-1-1 in their last seven games. The first six games of that stretch came on the road, a grueling 12-day trip that ended up serving the team well.
Not only did they pick up nine...

The Hurricanes finally return home after twelve long days on the road and they come into tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on a high note, winning four of six games on the road trip. Getting those wins were huge, but the Canes did not come out of this trip unscathed as...

The Hurricanes managed to put together one of their best defensive efforts of the season last night and they somehow did it with a depleted blue-line corps. They held the Maple Leafs to only seven scoring chances at even strength (six excluding empty net situations) and only 10 chances overall. Part of the reason for their success was having their top-nine be relentless on the forecheck...

Tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs had the makings of being one of those old fashioned, high scoring run-and-gun style contests where the winner would be determined by who had the last shot on net. The Hurricanes, who haven't been good defensively this year, were missing two top-four defensemen in Joni Pitkanen and Tim Gleason while the Leafs have injuries all...

There are a lot of things to like about this year's Hurricanes team. The offense is much better than it was last season, they have more depth and this team is a lot more fun to watch than last year's squad. The defense, however, has had it's share of problems and it's been very evident on the penalty kill. The Hurricanes penalty kill ranks third to last in the NHL...

After a long road journey lasting 6 games and 11 days, the Carolina Hurricanes and Canes fans finally get another dose of home hockey against the Toronto Maple Leafs. I would not say that the Canes are firing on all cylinders but they are playing confident and finding ways to win. What's not to like about a 4-1-1 road trip and coming home in 1st place in the Southeast Division...

There are some people who hate change and it's understandable. Going through changes is never easy for anyone, especially when something has been the same way for such a long time. That's just the way humans work and sometimes it's justified because change isn't always a good thing. In the case, however, change can lead to great things and the Carolina Hurricanes...
