FIRST PERIOD 18:36: Bill Guerin chases down a loose puck in the corner and tosses it into the crease. Sidney Crosby slides towards the net undetected and backhand swats it over the cage. That was a heck of an idea by Guerin and Crosby. That could've been a pretty goal. 17:14: Craig Adams works a puck to the right wing and snaps off a wrister that Legace kicks out. 16:52: Jay McKee takes a pass on...

Game 31 Hurricanes (6-17-5, 17 pts ) at Penguins (20-9-1, 41 pts ) Mellon Arena - Pittsburgh Why does it matter? In name only, this is a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals from last season.

I think it matters only in that it would be good to rebound from Saturday night with a win, and it will be a challenge to get the motor going the same...

Although they gave up a would-be game winning goal with 30 seconds remaining in the third, they never gave up. Erik Cole scored with two seconds remaining, and then the Finns took care of business in the shootout....

Erik Cole scored with three seconds left to force overtime. The Monster did his best Tosky impression in the shootout, and the rest is history. We couldn't hold a 3-0 lead against the worst team in the NHL. The...

On Saturday afternoon, the Hurricanes and Flyers will meet for the second time this season. Since it’s Halloween, you can find out what the Canes wives will be handing out to trick-or-treaters. Erik Cole’s house should be fun. Interesting that Tuomo Ruutu doesn’t hand out Snickers bars. Remember this? And maybe it’s just me, but every time I see Andrew Alberts, I think he’s...

While Canadiens coach Jacques Martin was audibly cursing on the bench last night, he must have been silently wondering if injured, star blueliner Andrei Markov could have made any difference in Vancouver's 7-1 drubbing of Montreal. In another Province, Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson found a blessing in disguise. He no longer has to practice his "I don't make goaltending decisions to please the...
