Watching the Hurricanes vs Islanders game tonight. Just a couple thoughts: still don't like this girl they got to do pre-game and intermission interviews (Chantel McCabe). I can't take her seriously because in one of her first games she mispronounced Teemu Selanne's name. He has been one of the best in the NHL almost her whole life! Not only that her nod and smile after EVERY question is distracting. I must not be the only one to notice that because now they crop her out of the picture while the other person is answering her questions. If the intent of the Hurricanes organization was to make me respect and like Tripp Tracy more, it worked!
If the Canes hurry up and trade for a decent defenseman I think they will have a real shot at a good playoff run. I definitely want Joe Corvo gone - I have no use for him, one decent game or not. He can't keep the zone or clear the front of the net. You know, the job of a good D-man. It also kills me to say this because he is one of my all-time favorite Hurricanes but Tim Gleason is not playing well. He is outright getting beat and he seems to have lost a step. I am hoping it is just the rushed season and he will be up to speed soon because I still love his toughness.
Semin has been really fun to watch. His passing and sense of where the puck needs to be has made this team better already. Jordan Staal also makes a big impact. Having two strong lines and a solid powerplay is a big improvement over last season. This team even makes my husband excited to go to the games and watch them on TV.
Looking forward to every game now. GO CANES!!!
