Carolina Hurricanes at Florida Panthers, Nov 4, 2009 7:30 PM EST
BankAtlantic Center security preps for a storm.
2-8-3 (7P) 4-7-1 (9P)
Hurricanes vs Panthers preview * Canes Country * Hurricanes vs Panthers coverage
Gonna jump right into this, given I just finished work for the day(!). Welcome to serious No-frills Live Blogging.
Like many of you, I've been waiting for this game for quite some time, as have our buds at Canes Country; be sure to show 'em some SoFla love. Go Cats.
And in weather, Hurricane Eric appears to have staaled off the coast of southern Florida...

Good evening; feel free to let me know what you think of the site “improvements”

Howdy Whale. Hoping to find a feed for this evening. Site improvements look good!

Hi Alter…you really think so? I’m not feeling the love quite yet. But thanks…lots of peeps worked tirelessly on it.

i mean, they’re not bad! didn’t think it was necessary in the first place, though.

I would happily join the fun here tonight. But I’ve been at or watching every Hurricanes game this season and 9 losses in a row is cause for any poor soul to require alcohol while witnessing this epic collapse.
So, uh yeah, I’ll be at the bar.

Not that Ward was any surprise after Leighton’s love-in with San Jose.

hey Whale, have you noticed a correlation of visits to the site and the number of wins/losses?

SOG
18-4, CAR.
Vokoun’s gonna need saline after the second.
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:04 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Fair question, MJ
Was thinking of that earlier.
Hits during the games are down from last year (during the playoff drive), since the club began losing quickly to start the season. Interest wanes, and all.
As the wins come, so will the traffic. Otherwise, it’s up all the way around during daylight hours. Bizarre. Blowing away last yea, hour-to-hour. The eyeballs are there, just not participating yet.
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:07 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
If they can string up a bit of success, it will trickle down to associated sites; this one included.

hmmm, seems to coincide with that strange 300% tv increase?
by mjdivo on Nov 4, 2009 8:09 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
LOL! Yeah, they all must be busy rushing to their televisions.
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Just a thought
But, hits might go down, because a number of your regular contributors are actually AT the game.
Just saying….

No…other than 87 shots on Vokoun, not much.

I stand by this: Carolina is our only “rival”. And not a seriously emotional one, at that, but the only one we’ve got.

thats what 9 years without playoffs gets you. no ones done anything to make us hate them, except the Raleigh Dive Team
by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 8:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
because they never put themselves in position to get screwed by a rival.
by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 8:45 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
In their favor, they’ve had the same ownership, same management, and basically the same coaching since they moved from Hartford. THAT’S stability.
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:46 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
And their owner wants to Beat Detroit. It’s his life’s mission.

Didn’t think we’d have 9 all year from him. Seriously, 35 assists, maybe, but no more than 15 goals on the season.

Can we appeal to DeBoer to play Reinprecht and Stillman on every shift? For the team, and all…?

Will the floodgate open? Seems like one of those games where they’re frustrated for 3/4 of the game and then suddenly goals go in.

I’m considering it but I’ll probably wait for Center Ice to have a promo again, which I know they will – its just when. As for the Slingbox, its easy to get a cheap one on ebay or Craigslist.
by coasterg on Nov 4, 2009 10:06 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Center Ice usually promos when they want you to buy it…like the beginning of the season and the beginning of 2010. don’t expect that anytime soon.
