It's finally our first real game on this side of the world! For those of you lucky ones that made it to Finland I'm sure it doesn't seem like it's been forever since we've played but it sure does to me. First game of a VERY LONG roadie played against some tough Western Conference teams. It's going to be interesting to see how the Canes hang in there. Puck drops at 7:00 pm and the game is on FSN in HD!!! Ohhh.. and for the first time since last season we will have John and Tripp back together in the booth. I have no doubt Tripp will have lots of "Trippism's" to share with us about the Finland excursion. LET'S GO CANES!  |

I second that. Feels like it's been ages.

I'm not going to get too upset by this loss. Ottawa played with the intensity of a team looking for their first win and the Canes like they just got back from Europe. We didn't roll over and play dead like we were at this time last season and Mo finally put Skinner up with Staal. I hope that sticks because if they can build chemistry?? I like Cole with them too to make room for them.
If we come home with 2 wins from the 5 I'll be happy. I'd prefer 3 but I'll take 2. So listen to me boys! Do NOT go out there and lose all 5 just to spite me!

I agree DG. It was nice to see them come back with a little spunk later in the game to tie it up. I was really happy to see Skinner with Staal too and I think given some time they can do good things together.
You can't be too upset since that first goal they gave to Mike Fisher that wound up in the net behind Cam after coming out of the sky was such a fluke! LOL.. weird.
Speaking of Cam, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far with his play. Hope he can keep it up. He seems so much more confident to me for some reason.

I agree with you guys. Sure, I would have loved to have won, but it could have gone a lot worse. The most important thing for me is that we didn't roll over and play dead - which irritated the bejesus out of me last year. I like Skinner with Staal. You guys know I love Chad to pieces, but I want to see what Jeff and Eric can do together. I like Colesy with them too. It's a dangerous line. Cam has been awesome these first three games. I don't like to talk about it too much because I'm afraid I'll jinx him.
But yeah, 4 points would be good. This is the roadie from hell and if we can squeak out of it .500 - I'll be a happy camper.
