The snubbing of Jussi
Explain something to me, Finnish Olympic hockey selection committee:

Canes season comes to a close
Thank God that’s over. Now I can watch the playoffs stress-free instead of puking blood and losing consciousness. Thanks for an amazing season, Canes, you outdid yourselves and took it further than anyone gave you credit for.
Game 7 and I’m bursting with anticipation
Let it be put on record that I’m absolutely unsure whether my cardiovascular system is quite up to the stresses that tonight’s deciding game in the Hurricanes / Bruins series promises.

I recently played in an ironman hockey tournament about 45 minutes from home. After the first night’s game [...]
Hurricanes regular season closer
Tonight is the Hurricanes’ regular season ending versus the Panthers. The division title is theirs for the taking tonight and the Panthers haven’t won in the RBC Center since 2002. Signs are good, but hockey is hockey. You never know.
We’ll be there, desperately hoping for inclusion in the “shirt off our backs” promotion where fans [...]
