ERIK COLE RUMORS & GOSSIP

Shocker: Habs blow a lead

This time, it was 3-1. And they lost 5-3. Sure, there were some awful calls by the referee, and the winning goal was very questionable due to a trip on Erik Cole that led to the play, but the Habs blew this one. Plain and simple. Perhaps that is part of the reason that Randy Cunneyworth appeared close to coming onto the ice after the Cole non-call. He was furious. Shaking. And...

Eric Engels: Cole Back in 'Lina, Eller vs. Desharnais, Trade Rumors

I have an inclination that Erik Cole might be able to muster more than the one assist he managed in his first meeting against the Carolina Hurricanes this season. Perhaps because it stands to reason that he's sure to receive more than the 13:43 he was afforded ahead of a game with the New York Islanders the very next night. It made sense to spread the minutes around in...

'Old man' Cole offers direction

Erik Cole has been one of the take-charge guys the last few days in the Canes' informal workouts at the RecZone. But don't try calling it "Camp Cole," he said today. "It will always be 'Camp Brind'Amour,'" Cole said, smiling. "It would be a disgrace to Roddy if we took over the title. Let's just call it informal workouts." For...

It's an Erik Cole Christmas!

Two facts stand out that help to describe...

For Cole, skating with Canes a start

For Erik Cole, it was a start, nothing more or less. For the first time since suffering his leg fracture, the Canes' forward was back on the ice with his teammates, going through today's morning skate at the RBC Center. Cole wore a gold, non-contact jersey, but he was skating and cutting and getting in some work. "It was just a pregame skate so we knew it wouldn...
