The Canes have traded Patrick Eaves and a 4th round pick to the Bruins for Aaron Ward.Again, Rutherford has gotten someone who had been with the team previously. (See: Josef Vasicek, Matt Cullen, Paul Maurice). Honestly, I wish he would stop doing that. I do actually like to see new...

Tonight's 2-1 loss to Florida in regulation (in a "4-point game," no less) goes to show that if you sign 2nd-line players to 1st-line money and 4th-D-men to 1st-pairing money, you won't be able to score goals or stop an onslaught, no matter who is behind the bench...

Yelle a perfect fit on Canes' fourth line

Carolina's signing of Stephane Yelle is bad news for Michael Ryan, who until now was the front-runner for the fourth-line center spot, but good news for everyone else. Yelle is a perfect fit in that role.
At 35, he has lost a step or two, which is why he was available for the...

Canes won 3-0 in Game 2 last night!This game was played much better than Game 1. And I'm going to say at this point that it is creepy how this series has so far mirrored the Jersey one. We're 1-1 after two games, the Game 1s both being the crappy losses, while the Game 2s have...

At 11:27 in the first period, it appeared Eric Staal scored, but the horn was cut short when it was ruled that Hurricanes defenseman Andrew Alberts had passed with his hands.
The Hurricanes showed off their new scoreboard before the game, showing a recap of last year's playoff...
