Worry not Icee... you get the Hurricanes on Saturday. Should be a great opportunity to build stats and give your back-up goalie some work.

BarneyBandMan and I are planning to be there Saturday to root for our 'Canes... and just watch the level of play we expect from Chicago. They are playing some really nice hockey right now.

Chicago's puck possession is just amazing, Joe. At times they seem like the big kids playing "keep away" with the little ones. Hopefully you will see some good hockey from them.

I do worry about the 'Canes game though....play last night Thursday is what should be a high-tempo game against the Sharks, then fly across the country for the last stop on their 8 game road trip. If they beat the Sharks, I fear a let down in Carolina.

Saw a good game tonight from my Hurricanes... they have won four of the last five.

Thu Jan 21, 2010 Hurricanes / Thrashers CAR (5) - ATL (2)

Sat Jan 23, 2010 Hurricanes / Flyers CAR (2) - PHI (4)

Sun Jan 24, 2010 Bruins / Hurricanes BOS (1) - CAR (5)

Wed Jan 27, 2010 Hurricanes / Rangers CAR (5) - NYR (1)

Thu Jan 28, 2010 Islanders / Hurricanes NYI (1) - CAR (4)

Sure would be nice to catch the Hawks a little flat. Cam Ward is playing some of the best hockey I have seen him play right now. PLEASE overlook us, Chicago!

Wouldn't you rather see the Hawks and 'Canes each play their very best, Joe?

Congrats on their improved play, must be a lot more fun to watch.

Thanks... it is more fun to watch. And I do enjoy good play and am looking forward to seeing the Blackhawks in person... but I could live with a LITTLE less than the Hawks best effort for ONE night.
