Canes Country - 10-Apr-2014

It's official, the Carolina Hurricanes postseason hopes are gone. While we've all known it for a while now, but last night put to bed any notion this team could find it's way in.

The primary goal for most teams heading into a season is to play for the Stanley Cup and to...

The head coach is under contract for one more year, but will he be back? As we get closer and closer to the end of the season, we get closer to the inevitable changes that will come to the team. A new GM?  A new coach?  A new captain? When a franchise has not made the postseason for five straight years, everyone should be and will be under evaluation. I posted  an article a couple of...
