"Raliegh" Hurricanes Fever: Catch It And Die!â„¢[/IMG]

Box of syphillis, with all these ice sluts around it was bound to happen.

 

[WWAD]

I was wondering what happened to my shipment of meth. Ice whores don't dance for free, you know.

 

[ChuckW]

It's a shame that such a beloved former Hab like Kirk Muller is coaching such a garbage franchise like ours.

I know. He should wear a Habs jersey during the game to clearly identify himself as a former Canadien.

Can you think of a more offensive thing? I mean, sweet innocent young girls being forced to wear turtlenecks?

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I have a burning desire to do something Trolly on the main board about this recent nonsense.

But I also have a burning desire to not get yelled at.

Gonna have my work cut out for me

FWIW, this thread has been up for almost 24 hours and the Habs thread has nothing mentioning this game yet.

Our fans suck

It's clearly because we're all a bunch of ignorant rednecks who have no clue where Montreal is. It just sounds far away, so with those time zone things and what not it was probably game day there yesterday.

Or maybe we were just all so hopped up on meth that we didn't know what day it was.

Exactly, what else do you expect from fans of such a garbage franchise that has ice sluts to entertain said fans?

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

My Minny high school had ice sluts to go along with state titles. My alma mater (UND) had ice sluts cheering us on to national titles. The North Stars DIDN'T have ices sluts and look where it got them....packing their bags andd a move to Dallas where they're going strong with 2 cadres of ice sluts. Who are these pseudo-"traditionalists" who say ice sluts don't belong in hockey? They know nothing!

Sorry if this is off-topic.

Canadiens won their third straight game last night, this time without Carey Price who was out with the flu. I would assume he will be back in time for Monday's game. This will be a nice opportunity for the Hurricanes to make another statement. They took care of the Maple Leafs, they took care of the Devils, now let's see if they can take care of the Canadiens.

I got to watch a little bit of the game, and what a strange game it was. Not taking anything away from either team but it felt a bit like watching a bunch of replacement players.

Philly looked positively anemic in almost every aspect of the game. 19 shots on goal? Pretty easy night for Budaj. Boucher got the start, which also looked and sounded strange.

Montreal is about ready to kick of a stretch of six games in 11 days, and it'd sure be fun to break their current win streak. Gallagher and Pacioretty both left the game with "upper-body injuries."

And man do I hope Kaberle plays. I'd love to watch him get torched by our captain again.

Edit: I totally lol'd at JustJoe's "Sorry if this is off-topic," in a thread awash with discussion of our pole dancers on ice. Well done, sir.

I remember that game. Spacek had a goal and rubbed it in to the Montreal fans

 

[PaulProteus]

Skinner wasn't at practice this morning. Don't know if he's just taking some sort of maintenance day or what, but they did a little line juggling as well, with Nodl in on Skinner's line. Didn't hear about anything being up with him, so it might just be an extra day off ice for him.

@MSmithCanes

Jeff Skinner not at practice for the #Canes today. Gleason, Pitkanen missing with lower-body injuries.

@MSmithCanes

LaRose-Brent-Westgarth is the fourth line. Nodl up on the second line in Skinner's absence. First and third lines are the same.

I remember that game. Spacek had a goal and rubbed it in to the Montreal fans

Oh yeah, that was when he shushed the crowd with his finger after the goal. When they returned to Raleigh after that game, I saw them practice at RCI and he was demonstrating his goal celebration for the coaches.

Spacek was a hoot, really.

He took a couple of hits to the head against Toronto but they reported that he was feeling fine after the game. Certainly hope that hasn't changed.

Skinner will not make the trip to Montreal, Muller says. Upper body injury.


no Skinner, Joni, Gleason...


I'll be shocked if we look competitive

 

[Sasha Cares]

Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip

Skinner came in for practice but did not feel well



definite concussion

 

[Sasha Cares]

Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip

Muller not sure of lines but says Jokinen could move to Skinner wing position

 

[DaleCooper]

Oh **** me

 

[CanesAvs16]

So.... now what? Who do we call up (if we do)?

 

[HisIceness]

Son of a *****.

Considering Skinner already has a history of concussions, I'm really worried for his future. Obviously he'll be playing again but my point is that if he continues to take beatings like he did in the Toronto game.............

 

[Sasha Cares]

Im thinking we don't call anyone until we get home... LaRose moves into the line up... Pretty sure we wish Boychuk wasn't sitting on Pitts bench right now

 

[Oenatzu]

****.

He was not very good last year after the concussion either

 

[CanesAvs16]

Mike Maniscalco ‏@mikemaniscalco
#Canes Jeff Skinner has an 'upper body' concern. The problem arose this morning. He will not make the trip to Montreal per Kirk Muller.

make anything of this?

 

[Sasha Cares]

post concussion sickness... pretty obvious to me... anything else that came up this morning would probably still allow him to travel... post concussion people are advised against flying

 

[Anton Babchuk]

When is Skinner going to learn to (1) keep his head up (2) not turn into hits to try to draw calls? Both hits he took were absolutely stupid on his part. What the hell kind of hockey player has a 2-on-1 and decides to stare at the puck for five seconds before getting clocked?

Should have traded him when we had the chance. He has has improved in absolutely no area in over two years. Still diving, whining to the refs, playing garbage defense, turning the puck over trying the same move, completely ignoring his linemates, skating around with his head down.

5.75M/yr for six years. Almost bad as the Ruutu contract. It's going to be sad when Semin walks because we have almost $11M committed to two disabled persons.
