Posted: 1/30/2010

As the Canes head out to the hinterlands of Alberta, they have a heck of a momentum builder to take with them.  Raleigh was essentially shut down thanks to a snowstorm, but 7,000 fans made their way to the RBC to get a nice reward from the Canes, beating the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 to add to a season-long four game winning streak.  I wasn't one of the hardy souls who ventured out, but the Live Blog From the Couch takes over...

Posted: 1/25/2010

This week's Puck Drops Podcast is a joint effort to produce a call-in show with our friends from Canes Country.  In the first hour, we discuss who could be moved at the trade deadline, including the potential for a Joni Pitkanen deal, the recent play of the Albany callups, the status of the Canes' proposed move of their AHL affiliate to Charlotte and more.  The second hour covers whether Paul Maurice is the right coach for a young team, who the right fit on Eric Staal's wing should be, and what we can expect from the Canes heading into an offseason that promises big changes.

Posted: 1/24/2010

For once, the Canes are prolonging someone else's losing streak.  The Boston Bruins came into the RBC Center and promptly got smoked, going down 5-0 before losing 5-1 in a laugher that gave Cam Ward the franchise record for goaltender wins.  It's a record-setting night in the Live Blog...

» Game 47: Thrashers 5, Hurricanes 3

Posted: 1/16/2010

Yet again, the Hurricanes stole defeat from the jaws of victory against the Atlanta Thrashers.  This time, it didn't matter much as the Canes never had a lead, but 44 seconds after tying the game the Canes gave up the game-winner, dropping a 5-3 decision to the Thrashers in which the Canes looked lost for long periods.  The Live Blog was there to cover it all...
