Pittsburgh Penguins @ Carolina Hurricanes, March 2nd 2007
( 33-20-9, 75 pts) - (32-27-7, 71 pts.)
As much as the Hurricanes have just stunk it up at home this season, it still is a relief to know that tonight’s game is going to be played at home. The Canes have had a bit of bad luck in the injury department on trips up to Melon Arena (Cole, Letowski) and at this point I want us to actually GET healthy, not lose more legs/arms/head/hair*.
The guys have had pretty confident wins over the Pens at the start of the season (5-1 and 6-2), but lost 3-0 during the last outing. I don’t really remember that game but it’s probably because all of the loses have blended into one long, foggy memory. Kinda like when you drink too much and can’t remember all of the night before, just bits and pieces. Welcome to my 06-07 hockey season.
Wildcards for tonight:
- Tim Gleason. He appeared to be injured during an icing rush Weds. night via an unnecessary hit delivered Chris “I’m a disgusting puke” Neil. He skated in circles holding his arm/wrist/shoulder but I haven’t heard any news on his injury. It’s not like the Canes don’t have a plethora of underachieving d-men to replace him with, but Tanabe already leads our defensemen in TOI. Our D is in trouble enough as it is.
- Anson Carter. Is he going to score, assist or even touch the puck tonight? I want to recognize his play by a dazzling goal, not by his crazy dreads.
- Are the Canes going to realize they have a game tonight? Man, I sure hope so. There is a real need to start performing/showing up/trying during games here. It can’t be said enough…..as of right now, the Canes aren’t even in the playoffs!!!!
- Sidney Crosby’s puck possession time. FSN South isn’t broadcasting the game, so I get to watch it via Centre Ice. I anxiously await every second that Crosby touches the puck being tallied.
Cole is still out for tonight (hip muscle). Cam Ward most likely in net, he has a great history against Crosby. Cairns and Ekman are out for Pittsburgh but they also have the addition of Roberts and Laraque.
Not to mention their record of 15-1-2 since January 13th. Yikes.

And the "Tanabe Sucks" tag begins.
I'd expect nothing less.
Can we add the "Chris Neil is a disgusting puke" tag too??
I took out Ovechkin cause it isn't as funny when it doesn't say "OVECHKIN!!!!".
Have to root for the Pens :(
