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...

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

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.

Brought the booze home with me, Wuf, but you’ll be in our thoughts, make no mistake.
“Carolina Ale House”?

Looks as if the Cats are serious about steering clear of the RRA scandal…the signage has come down, according to GR>
Nah…working on an admin issue myself at the moment

find a pic or image you like, go to your profile, choose settings “or something similar” and upload it. Simple stuff.

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.
If they can string up a bit of success, it will trickle down to associated sites; this one included.

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
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.

Florida will be called for a borderline penalty, but we’re expecting that.
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:17 PM EST up reply actions
It just might. Watched a bit of that last year, and that did happen.
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:11 PM EST up reply actions
Surprised they don’t have a dedicated site for it
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:14 PM EST up reply actions
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
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
And their owner wants to Beat Detroit. It’s his life’s mission.
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:47 PM EST up reply actions
“Their” owner used to be “my” owner, but we’re past that ;)

i watched that ESPN 30 for 30 doc about the Colts moving and i felt horrible for those fans as well.
It was a time I do not wish upon any hockey fan.

Can’t wait to see what’s on tap for the third
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:58 PM EST up reply actions
Bob…it’s gonna be a helluva finish! These matchups are – if nothing else – good for a pile of emotion by the end.

Must be scrubbing a certain advertiser’s signage from the boards…
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:05 PM EST up reply actions
Still outscored himself at the same point last year, tho
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:21 PM EST up reply actions
Didn’t think we’d have 9 all year from him. Seriously, 35 assists, maybe, but no more than 15 goals on the season.
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:30 PM EST up reply actions
Oreskovich is going no-mercy on himself and those around him. Gonna be mighty black-and-blue after this
uh, yo how many wide-frickin-open chances are the Cats trying to piss away?

Wasn’t gonna mention it, but now that you bring it up…
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:41 PM EST up reply actions
Can we appeal to DeBoer to play Reinprecht and Stillman on every shift? For the team, and all…?
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:44 PM EST up reply actions
think something just passed by you Floridians on it’s way to Raleigh
black helicopters!

I suggest alternative activities to watching something you love fall apart slowly & painfully.

A confused Cat…a confused first-period cat
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:49 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah. Must suck. Three game streak, kids!
by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:53 PM EST up reply actions
10! I knew they could reach double digits in the losing streak!!

WOO!!!! WOO!!!!! besides that first period, another solid effort and another good feeling at the end of a night.
BTW, I loved the idea proposed earlier in the chat about someone buying slingbox and broadcasting. It would be seriously appreciated.
