Carolina’s top pairing defenseman Joe Corvo suffered a freakish injury on Monday night and will miss a significant chunk of the rest of the season. While his injury was nowhere near as freakish as the one that Tomas Vokoun suffered, it was much more severe. Corvo bumped Caps defenseman Karl Alzner as the latter was coming off the ice. There was nothing unusual about the contact. Alzner’s...

(By Javier Serna, javier.serna@newsobserver.com) In a span of less than eight minutes Monday, it looked like the Carolina Hurricanes had lost two of their top defenders. But during the 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals at the RBC Center, Tim Gleason quickly returned to the ice, and though Joe Corvo could be lost for as many as three months, the cut he suffered could have been much worse.

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail, Of all the statistics charted in a figures-obsessed era, time on ice may be the most illuminating, if underrated and largely ignored number. More than any other stat, ice time illustrates a player’s internal value and importance to a team. “You can get a pretty good idea of what a coach thinks of his group – who he plays against the other...

Meet the newest Red Wing . He's the one in the foolish hat: Unfortunately, Patrick Eaves has kind of slipped under my radar, and all that I know about him is that he is a little injury prone and thankfully isn't Joe Corvo (seriously, those tattoos are silly.) His stats are a bit underwhelming, but stats aren't always the whole story, and the Red Wings have a habit of bringing out the best in its players....
