Way more than I could ever describe here. It's an administrative position but most companies don't let theire admins have free reign like I do. I got very lucky when I found this job.

Not in the sense that he grabbed it and ran but he sure has itchy fingers for it and told me I should just give it to him or he'd stop letting me go to games. I was all, not highly likely buddy!!

I love me some fiesty Corvo!
Quote: Parise, Corvo said, is a problem because of "stuff you can't see if you're watching the game."
"He uses his stick a lot, puts his stick in your hands," he said. "He gets his stick in places that are borderline places."
Parise did that Saturday in the Devils' 3-2 win over Carolina that closed the regular season. On a delayed penalty against the Canes, the Devils rushed down the ice and Niclas Havelid fired the puck to the right of the goal.
Canes goalie Michael Leighton came out of net to make a play, only to have the puck take a crazy bounce off the back glass and carom back to the top of the crease. Parise and Corvo were there, with Parise doing some quick stick battling with Corvo and then knocking in the puck for a 2-1 lead, leaving Corvo steaming and talking to the referee.
"That frustrated me," Corvo said. "I'm just not in the mood to let guys get away with stuff like that on me."
Such is the game within the game, and Parise has won many of the battles this season.
"He's got good hands, works real hard," Corvo said. "He's talented, he can skate. He just works hard. He works harder than most guys with his skills."

Joe Corvo rocks.
And if we're going to drink our way through it, we might as well do it together.

Oh god.. don't tell me Brindy is hurt already! I do however approve of moving Eaves up and Walker down.
Quote: NEWARK, N.J. — The Canes are back on the ice at the Prudential Center and looking a little sharper, a little more alert.
Of course, the Devils aren't here. It's a Thursday practice.
Rod Brind'Amour, who took a big hit during Game One against the Devils, is not at practice. Jussi Jokinen is centering the line with Sergei Samsonov and Patrick Eaves.
Matt Cullen is centering the line with Ray Whitney and Chad LaRose, so that looks set for Game Two against the Devils tomorrow night. Dwight Helminen is the fourth-line center, with Scott Walker moving down and Tim Conboy and Ryan Bayda alternating on the other wing.
If there's one thing that needs to be corrected, it's puck movement, defense to the forwards. It was much too tentative in the 4-1 loss to the Devils Wednesday in the playoff opener, as if the Canes were afraid of making a turnover that would lead to a goal.
But turnovers happen. The Devils had a few in their end. The Canes must find a way to generate some speed up ice, through the neutral zone and into the Devils' zone.
If not ... well, the Canes don't want to think about the if-nots.

It is for this reason that I think the trade for Jussi is probably the best move of the season. Yeah, Erik has provided a spark, but Jussi's versatility.... Then again, I am biased towards the Finns and especially the former Star.

Caniacs are the best fans EVER!
Quote" Guy Behind the Guy: There Will be Caniacs Mike Sundheim Apr 18, 2009, 9:59 AM EDT
As the plane rolled down the runway in Newark last night, Kyle and I started discussing our arrival time in Raleigh, and one other question: "Will there be Caniacs at RDU tonight?" It didn't take us long to come up with our conclusion, and we turned around to Hurricanes President and General Manager Jim Rutherford, who sits right behind us, and gave him our theory. Mike Sundheim Index | Archive
"There will be Caniacs."
And, of course, there were. Despite the 12:50 a.m. arrival time in the Tar Heel State, and the fact that we are just two games into the playoffs, they were there. We guessed somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 or 200 screaming, flag-waving Hurricanes faithful welcoming the team home and giving the boys a little taste of what's to come tomorrow night at the RBC Center. They chanted when we started coming around the corner and walking to our cars. They cheered each departing vehicle. And they put a nice early morning smile on a lot of beard-growing faces.
I even saw one quite popular Hurricane, who wasn't here for our run in 2006, snap a couple pictures of the scene before getting into his car. More than a few players and staffers paused to soak it in before driving away, and most gave the fans a few toots of their horns on the way by. The road ahead is long and difficult in our first round series against New Jersey, but there's nothing wrong with a little extra boost along the way.
To that end, we have every reason to believe what the fans will provide on Sunday evening will be more than just a little boost. Yes, there will be Caniacs. They'll be in the parking lots (which open at 2:30 p.m.), flags flying and grills blazing. They'll be lining the glass during warm-ups at 7, with signs aplenty. And they'll be standing, waving towels and roaring when the puck drops at 7:40.
As if the site of a few hundred of them at one in the morning wasn't enough to give us chills.
