Tonight, Tonight
Boyle’s out, O’Brien’s in. Kubina’s gotta step up and we’re playing Southbeast Champion Carolina tonight in Raleigh… Here’s Casonblog’s take:
Tonight will be a huge test. Tampion Bay is hungry and grinding to get into the playoffs. Gut check night. How do the ‘Canes play coming off a bad loss to the Craps? Like Staal, Justin Williams looks frustrated to me-Ditto Matt Cullen. Will we see Big Joe?
Meanwhile, Acid Queen’s trying to rally the troops.
Meanwhile, it would seem certain fans at Sun Sports TV’s message forum are finally tipping the Hurricanes the respect they deserve for being on top of the NHL. Last time around? They were deemed the “3rd rate tropical storms” from the homer elite at Sun Sports. This time? It’s Carolina. Maybe someone learned something about respect between then and now? Probably not.
The Habs are within 2 points of the Lightning now, this is no game for John Grahame to stumble in. Grahame does have a 4-0 record this season versus Carolina this season… So there is hope…

[...] This is a big loss (considering what I said in an earlier post — the Habs tying New Jersey in the standings) but the implications may be broader if the Lightning are nwo without Kubina for an extended period of time. [...]

Tough time to take injuries with on already suspect ‘Ning blueline. I continue to be impressed with Paul Ranger’s play. He’s the real deal. I fear facing you all or Atlanta come more than anybody else come playoff time.

The “homer elite,” huh? I’ll give you that Mr. Oaks is a homer, but I’m not sure about the “elite” part.

I was aiming at Henri more than David, Joe. I didn’t stick around that Canes thread after I told people off for the disrespect.
Next game, Henri couldn’t help himself but to call teh Bruins 3rd rate, as if to shove it in my face.

Gotcha. I should’ve gone back and looked at the thread. My memory ain’t … what was I saying?
