Mostly because it makes it nigh-impossible to do anything with this blog (or any other blog that I participate in–apologies to meine HLOG Genossinnen).

BUT MOVING RIGHT ALONG:

In the wake of the injury to Cam Ward in last weekend’s loss to the Rangers (that first goal?  NOT MY FAULT), the ‘Canes called up Craig “Killer” Kowalski from Florida of the ECHL to serve as Crackers’ backup–and as an added bonus, Killer got to participate in the team photo shoot.

Awwww!

More coverage from mi compadre de CasonBlog.

One thing I did get to do, however, was listen to Tuesday night’s game v. the Florida Panthers–at least, until I dozed off (only to wake up after the game was over with my head down on the desk). Yes, work has been that much of a soul-drain (especially since I got promoted). What I heard sounded good, and the post-game interview between the Warchief and Fearless Chia Pet Leader was greatly amusing (glove-tap to the proprietrix of Eye Candy for the vidcap).

Tonight, I’ll be at work from 5-midnight while the ‘Canes take on the Dirty Damn Devils at the RBC Center. Lots open at 4:30, puck drops at 7:30. Go Canes.
