Finally.

Apparently I have to sleep through every game now–good thing I work first shift today.

But finally, finally the Hurricanes have won one. The Warchief had three assists and Ray Whitney scored the game-winner with .5 seconds left on the clock.

But at long last, the ‘Canes have gotten off the schneid–and really? This is a lot like last season. Our defense was paper, the goaltenders weren’t getting a lot of help, and the guys who were expected to be the scoring machines just weren’t able to hit anything. This is why I wasn’t getting upset right off the hop (unlike the toolbag who–after the second game of the season–posted “I’m glad I didn’t waste my money on season tickets” on Teh LGC).

Tonight, the ‘Canes are in Pittsburgh to take on the Pens. There will be no Cole-Orpik rematch, since Orpik is out with a busted hand, and there will be no Egvenii Malkin (since he’s out with a shoulder injury). Crackers is likely to be in the net tonight, which frankly doesn’t make me a happy camper–but what can you do, right?

Thread is, once again, open for comments.

    Thank you for your concern about us Buffalonians, it touched my heart. However, we are a stout breed and will manage fine. Sabres are undefeated so far, best start in 30 years…see you next week.

    1) Comment on the right thread.

    2) You have no heart.

    3) Spend your life in the prairie, then talk to me about “a stout breed”.

    4) The season’s not even a fourth of the way through yet.

    5) Come back when your team loses, and I might have some modicum of respect for you.

    I’m glad for the boyz, but I’m worried about how we gave up a comfortable lead last night. Here’s hoping last night was the warm-up for tonight!

    Don’t let the trolls get you down, AC.

    Luv ya!

    You make it hard to be nice AQ but I’m trying not to have a repeat of last season with you so lighten up. I think the Canes will right the ship soon. I’ll have my own website up soon and you’re comments will be posted for you to fire back if you decide to.

    Tthank you, it’s a nice way to start the season don’t you think? I’m sure the opportunuity for will arise for sarcastic banter but I promise I’ll be good.
