CHAD LAROSE RUMORS & GOSSIP

Chad LaRose 2011-12 Scoring Chances

Chad LaRose is one player who I've spent a lot of time defending this season because while he doesn't always make the best decisions and isn't an ideal top-line winger, he simply got the job done when it came to generating scoring chances and possession. He isn't a star player and will probably never score more than 35 points, but he can be used just about anywhere...

Canes taking extra bodies out West

The Canes are headed West and they'll be taking a few extra bodies along. Chad LaRose, out the past two games with flu-like symptoms, was at practice today at the RBC Center. LaRose is ready to rejoin the lineup, but Canes coach Kirk Muller said an extra forward likely would be on the three-game trip to Anaheim, Colorado and Montreal. The Canes also have an extra defenseman....

The New Third Line

An injury to Chad LaRose back on January 10th caused Kirk Muller to shake things up once again and he did so by placing everyone's favorite waiver claim Andreas Nodl on the third line with Brandon Sutter and Patrick Dwyer. This is the usual "defensive unit" for the Hurricanes that starts a lot of their shifts in their own zone and is matched up against other teams top...

Replaceable and Replacement Level Players

In the wake of the article I posted about Chad LaRose and Jerome Samson's performance last night, there's been some debate about how what LaRose does can be easily replaced. First, we need to talk about what exactly a "replaceable player" is. In baseball and hockey, statisticians throw around the word "replacement level player" to describe a player who...

The truth about Chad LaRose

There seems to be a conflict within the fanbase about Chad LaRose and how he has been used as a top-six winger this season. I've heard a ton of praise and criticism thrown his way. Some people have said that this will be his break-out year and that he's finally showing that he can be a consistent 20-goal scorer. Others have said that he belongs on the fourth line, shouldn...

Skinner, LaRose both score 2 in Canes' win over TB

Raleigh, NC --- The Carolina Hurricanes would like to welcome November to their schedule. With 10 home games this month and a slate that brings four Southeast Division foes among the nine Eastern Conference teams to the RBC Center, this is a stretch that could define the Canes' playoff viability come April. And if Tuesday night's 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning...
