		<title>Best Deadline Ever&#8230; EVER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Call me crazy on this one, but that deadline was more then I could have hoped for. After a bit of despair earlier about the way things were shaping up, especially say in the hour between 2:30 and 3:30 PM on the 3rd before the final 3 trades came through, it couldn&#8217;t ahve ended better.

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I couldn&#8217;t do the live blogging at the WJCs as planned. Some asshole from Nigeria obviously had different thoughts and rather effectively ruined my chances of bringing the equipment I would need&#8230; Hey I barely escaped without it going full body cavity search on me.
Anyway, as we have seen over the past 2 months, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Trade and Another Chance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two seemingly unrelated moves this week could have big implications for the Canes down the road.
Firstly, the Hurricanes moved this past drafts #27 overall pick, Philippe Paradis to Toronto for Jiri Tlusty, a top 15 pick from 2006. On the surface this is a real head scratcher. Well, so was the pick of Paradis to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canes WJC Players More International This Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will say I do have a tinge of disappointment looking at this years WJC lineups.
The US team, which should be a competitor for the medal if they get their coaching issues sorted out, doesn&#8217;t have any Canes prospects on their list of players for this tournament. But that was to be expected this year [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maybe It&#8217;s a Sign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[11 games. A franchise record since moving to NC. Sadly we&#8217;re not talking about wins in this one either. 11 straight without a win, and something significant has to change.
I&#8217;d say start making trades with the presence that Sutter and Boychuk have brought in their first few games here, but Samson is the only one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Washington Capitals: A Case Study For The Canes?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While a lot of things have changed since the lockout, the Washington Capitals team of 2003-04 may be the best example of what to do with a veteran filled roster that is proving to be far less then the sum of its parts.
On paper, the Capitals of 2003-04 should very well have been a playoff [...]]]></description>

Us.
Personally, I don&#8217;t care. I&#8217;m sure that some Hurricanes fans somewhere are crying the butthurt fantastic, but honestly?  We seem to do better when nobody is paying attention to us, so eff &#8216;em.
I mean, I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217;.

		<title>&#8230;not to be.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night was disappointing, but&#8211;sadly&#8211;not surprising.
The Hurricanes that scratched and clawed their way to the ECF were, in the end, gassed and surpassed. The aliens didn&#8217;t take them away and replace them with the Pod People, they didn&#8217;t &#8220;just give up&#8221;, and they sure as hell aren&#8217;t &#8220;scrubs&#8221;. They just didn&#8217;t have anything left in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tinfoil hats and cheap hits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There has been a great hue and cry raised in various areas about the Vast NHL Conspiracy to keep the Hurricanes and the Blackhawks (especially the Hurricanes) from advancing to the SCF&#8211;after only one game.
Wow. That&#8217;s all I can say, just &#8220;wow&#8221;.
Kids, really; there is no conspiracy. This is the NHL&#8211;they can&#8217;t even schedule a [...]]]></description>

But because it amuses me, I&#8217;ll create a category for that punk.
Update on the Warchief: He&#8217;s skating today, after taking a puck upside the head during Game 7 of the Bruins series. (Actually the puck was upside his right eye, but eh).
According to Toolbox, the Warchief was at practice today and [...]]]></description>

So, now we get the Pens. This team really doesn&#8217;t make it easy, but I like our chances regardless. Unlike the [...]]]></description>

The Canes played&#8230;well, let&#8217;s be honest. They played like ass.  The general attitude was pretty slacktastic, the team acted like they already had the series in the bag&#8211;but as we all know, the series isn&#8217;t in the bag until that fourth game is won.
The officiating was pretty crappy, [...]]]></description>
