If I wanted to be negative I would say we blew leads of 3-0 and 4-1 but when you are just fighting your way out of a 14 game winless streak you find the positives. The offense managed to score 4 goals...
If you are a Canes fan these are some dark times to be sure. We have lost 12 straight and have fallen to last in the eastern conference. As if that wasn't enough, Cam Ward, the starting goalie, was lost indefinitely with a lacerated thigh...
The Canes just became stronger up the middle with the signing of 6"2 center Stephane Yelle for a very reasonable price of $550,000. He had a solid year in Boston with 7 goals and 11 assists...
The Carolina Hurricanes traded forward Patrick Eaves and a fourth round draft pick to the Boston Bruins for Aaron Ward. The 6-foot-2 defenseman had 3 goals and 7 assists along with a plus-16 rating for the Bruins in '09...

Every year when free agency starts I am watching hopefully for Jim Rutherford to sign a big-time free agent. I have come to realize that getting the bigger names available can blow up in your ...
My Canes haven't made any free-agent signings that make the big headlines, but they did bring Erik Cole and Chad LaRose back into the fold. The best part is GM Jim Rutherford didn't have to break the bank to do it...
