In last seasons “state of the franchise” address, Hurricanes President and General Manager Jim Rutherford told members of the media that he felt forward Jiri Tlusty could be a top – nine player for the Hurricanes. Tlusty, who showed offensive promise last season, did the Hurricanes organization one better and for a good portion of the season he played so well [...]

The Carolina Hurricanes may not have any player up for an accolade at the conclusion of this season, so I thought that it would be fun to hold the first ever Carolina Hurricane centric Awards.

Late last night, after Ferris State beat the Union Dutchmen (NY), the Carolina Hurricanes announced that they signed undrafted free agent Jeremy Welsh. The 23 year old power forward, listed at 6’3’’, joined Union after playing for the Oakville Blades of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. In his first season (2009 – 10), Welsh played [...]

It’s already been said, many times over, that this season wasn’t what the Hurricanes had hoped for. The Hurricanes, still an enigma of a team to me, will play their final game at home tonight against the Montreal Canadiens led by their leading goal scorer (and one of my favorite Hurricane players of all time) [...]

The end of the Carolina Hurricanes season will take place this week when the team plays its final three games of the season.
