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. It was a season of frustration, starting with game 1's finding a way to lose and continuing with being outworked and outcoached. The primary goal for most teams heading into a season is to play for the Stanley Cup and to...
That sound you heard last night was the gauge on Canes fans' patience tank hitting "empty" with a thud. Ed. note: yes, the author is still alive. I know, I'm shocked too. "I need the fans to be even more patient than they have been." Remember the running gag on The Simpsons where Homer's "d'oh!" is listed in the script as "(annoyed grunt)"? Those 13 words, delivered in an interview to John Forslund...

While it doesn't help them get into the playoffs, maybe it builds a little momentum heading into the offseason? Too little, too late would be an accurate statement to describe the Hurricanes week. But after going 6-12-0 between February...
