Sweet Tea, Barbecue, and Bodychecks
And, apparently, the Canes got nothin’ either–though really, last night’s game did have kind of a full-circle Unity of Rings feel to it.
I wish I could say I was angry about the game, but really I’m not. Not a lot gets me angry, this season. Do I think that we’ll have another Season From Hell? No. But we’re obviously not as good as last season for whatever reason. Maybe JR let the wrong guys walk. Maybe he traded the wrong guys. Maybe, maybe, maybe–all I know is that this year’s team is “missing something”.
Sometimes I feel like the ‘Canes are the kid in “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” who comes up to the rib shack and digs through his pockets. He slaps this big-ass roll of Benjamins down on the counter, then breaks out this big handful of change that he’s poking through before finally saying that he wants one rib.
I mean, seriously–they can get the full order of ribs, but this season it’s like they’re trying to spend just pocket change to nickel-and-dime rather than going for the full experience. Some down here are invoking the ghosts of Islanders past, when Lavi apparently lost the Isles because of his “go hard or go home” philosophy–but I’m not seeing that the same thing is happening here. I’m not seeing it at all. Maybe we should look at the 05-06 Lightning instead, who were like “yeeeeah, we won the Cup, we don’t have to do anything now”. Except, of course, for the fact that the ‘Canes are treating their Captain better than the Bolts treated theirs.
Do I think a trade will help? Possibly–but who do we trade?

Based on what Chuck Kaiton said this morning (12/07) on the radio, the Canes are only 2 points back from where they were last season at this time. However, the Canes did have an awesome run in Dec last season.
Also, you’re still short Stillman, Kaberle, and I think one other guy (can’t remember for the life of me who) from the Cup run. Not like there isn’t a reason.
