Did you see the Hurricanes score?

They beat down the NY Islanders... 9 - 0

1.) Cam Ward got the shut-out
2.) Ward set a franchise record with 39 wins
3.) Eric Staal got a hat trick
4.) NYI only got 12 shots off
5.) 'Canes have a 12 game winning streak intact.

I like how they are handling their business going into the playoffs...

Hawks got their 4th in a row, a convincing 4-2 win in Nashville. Looks like home ice for Round 1.

Congrats, Joe on the 'Canes win
Congrats, Tom on the Hawks win
Blues win 5-1 vs the Coyotes

All in all a good evening for all three of us.

Very nice... sounds like our teams are getting the right mind-set for the playoffs!

Don't know if my 'Canes can become a serious threat for the Cup... but they will not be a pushover or an easy out.

You know how the Playoffs are, Joe. They don't call it the "Second Season" for nothing.
I have to say, I've not seen a 9-0 hockey score in quite some time. Congrats again on the win. Not only did you guys score 9 goals, but a shut-out to boot. Unbelievable!!

The interesting thing for me as a fan, is how they did it.

I am under no illusion... it is no great feat to beat up on the Islanders... outside of a couple of players, they are playing without any heart right now.

But the Hurricanes really were not just trying to run up the score... they were very business-like about it. It was balanced... three goals a period. They were consistently working on doing the little things right. Scary efficiency!

Even when the Islanders were getting chippy and looking to fight in the third period, the 'Canes were very disciplined. Only fought when it was forced and ignored attempts to get them out of their rhythm - just like what you have to do in the playoffs.

The NYI played sloppy hockey (not sloppy seconds, Mr. Avery

). They took a ton of penalties that were unneccessary. Even when the officials were trying to swallow the whistle, they would do something so blatant and foolish they had to call them for it. I am getting excited!

There are a couple of teams in the East that I would like the Bruins to avoid; Carolina and Washington. What the hell are your guys eating down there?

icehog3 · 04-07-2009, 11:03 PM

Congrats to Joe and the Canes, and Wayne and the Blues....looks like we will all be in the sweet 16.

I just became a huge Redwings fan (for tonight only). They play Nashville tonight, which are two points away from tying the Blues for the 8th slot.

Side Note: My 8-year-old son started Peewee and has a hell of a time understanding why I root for teams I normally root against (during the playoff run). I guess when you see your pop rooting for a team that has been his archfoe (along with the 'Hawks) the whole season, it's hard for a young mind to comprehend the temporary change of heart.

LETS GO REDWINGS!!!
