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.

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

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 6:53 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 6:59 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 7:01 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 7:02 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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”?

Vokoun and Ward in net

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

Looks as if the Cats are serious about steering clear of the RRA scandal…the signage has come down, according to GR>

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 7:33 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

any action yet? I’m still trying to find a live feed for tonight…

by mjdivo on Nov 4, 2009 7:39 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Nah…working on an admin issue myself at the moment

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 7:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

pretty choppy, but better than nothing…

Looks empty even with all of those $0.75 tickets.

GREAT for the feed!!!! THANK YOU!

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

EAST UPDATE

BUF 1 – NYI 0, start of 2nd
WAS 1 – NJD 0, start of 2nd

Go Devils.

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:01 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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

by mjdivo on Nov 4, 2009 8:04 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

…just out of curiosity

by mjdivo on Nov 4, 2009 8:04 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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….

and the feed was changed… damn… now im watching Devils.Caps

by mjdivo on Nov 4, 2009 8:09 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

anything happen to end the period?

by mjdivo on Nov 4, 2009 8:10 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

as long as it’s still tied. It’ll be interesting to see how they come out in the next period,

by mjdivo on Nov 4, 2009 8:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

i think it will come back, tell him to put it back in the chat roooom

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 8:10 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

It just might. Watched a bit of that last year, and that did happen.

i asked, i believe he said ok to me, when intermission is over

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 8:13 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Been a few minutes…how’s the PK unit doing? We’ll see!

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:32 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

This could have been Dvorak’s Big Game with all these power plays

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:33 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

GREAT PK! Hideki with a 2-Run MONSTER.

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

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:41 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 8:47 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

“Their” owner used to be “my” owner, but we’re past that ;)

at least its hockey related

i watched that ESPN 30 for 30 doc about the Colts moving and i felt horrible for those fans as well.

at this point lets get out of the period, they’re coming on strong now

hey Donny, how’s it going? quite the sharp shooters we have tonight eh?

Bob…it’s gonna be a helluva finish! These matchups are – if nothing else – good for a pile of emotion by the end.

yep, watch both teams light it up in the third

Still outscored himself at the same point last year, tho

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

is he playing with Weiss and Oreskevich? how does Oreskevich look tonight? can’t really follow that closely on this feed, just see blue v white.

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 9:22 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

GOALLLL!!!!!!

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 9:24 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

that looked like Stiller, to me. didn’t even see Rhino put a finger on it….we’ll take it tho, the Line!

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 9:27 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

What’s with “second-line center” Rhino? I wanna drink what he’s having.

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:27 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

i’m running, don’t worry! never thought we’d have 9 from Rhino when we added him

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 9:29 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

Robo-Horton on NHL10 is a dead ringer. Weiss? Not so much.

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:31 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

that game is simply brilliant. so much fun.

Yeah for feeds! Gave my free tickets to friends down south, they’ve been to 3 freebie games so far since I can’t make it during the week.

Happy to have you, as always, CG! Interesting show so far.

Oreskovich is going no-mercy on himself and those around him. Gonna be mighty black-and-blue after this

by Donny Rivette on Nov 4, 2009 9:33 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

he’s making me like him if he keeps that up.

Got to figure out a way to grab a feed from an Amerks’ game and do a live blog for them.

1 minute in the microwave is too long for mini frozen cream puffs.

I’m pleasantly surprised on whats happening with the Cats. But its eerily similar to what happened last year.

by coasterg on Nov 4, 2009 9:39 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Yes!! Nice redirect by Reinprecht or Stillman!

by coasterg on Nov 4, 2009 9:42 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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.

by coasterg on Nov 4, 2009 9:44 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Anyone know if Center Ice is having a promo again yet? Looks like I need to buy it.

by coasterg on Nov 4, 2009 9:46 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Might have to be the provider of good Panthers feeds – get a Slingbox and Center Ice and I’m out of zone…

think something just passed by you Floridians on it’s way to Raleigh

WOO!!!! WOO!!!!! besides that first period, another solid effort and another good feeling at the end of a night.

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 9:54 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

and we all knew that the Canes would come out swinging in the beginning

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 9:54 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

BTW, I loved the idea proposed earlier in the chat about someone buying slingbox and broadcasting. It would be seriously appreciated.

by mjdivo on Nov 4, 2009 9:55 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

agreed, but we haven’t had trouble finding feeds thus far…

by alterego6487 on Nov 4, 2009 9:59 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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.
