En marge du match de ce soir face aux Hurricanes de la Caroline (cette maudite), nous faisons connaissance avec les blog Canes Country.

Ce dernier ne sont d’ailleurs pas très gentils aujourd’hui, parce qu’ils croient que Jesus Price est sur-évalué.

Nous avons eu une petite discussion avec le fondateur du site, Bubba.

SFC: First of all, are you happy with Sergei Samsonov production?

Canes Country: Last season, everyone was happy with Samsonov.  But so far this season, the results have not been good.  While he shows good effort and excellent puck handling skills, there are little results on the scoresheet to date and his -10 stat is disappointing.  But there are others on the team struggling with offense as well, so he is not alone. 
 

SFC:If the Canes don’t make the playoffs, you’re gonna…

CC: Be disappointed, but not be overly disappointed.  Watching the team so far this season, I will be a bit surprised if they do make the playoffs.  If they don’t, I will be very curious to see the changes the team would make to improve. 
 

SFC: Does Glen Wesley really deserve te see his number retired?

CC: Good question.  From my perspective, I would say yes.  While he might not have been a huge impact player concerning the NHL, he has been very important to the franchise.  He worked very hard within the community to help the game grow here and also helped charities.  Due to his longevity, (20 year career and 16th on the all time NHL most games played list), his dependability, and his popularity, this is probably a wise move for the franchise to make.
SFC: Which Canes player does the rest of the NHL don’t know about, you’re best kept secret?

CC: At this point I will say Brandon Sutter.  (although most have heard about him being knocked out by Doug Weight).  For a rookie player, Sutter has really impressed me with his hockey sense and ability to play defense.  He is one of the team’s best penalty killers and has a good knack on offense.  He also plays with a physical edge which is good for a young player to start out with. 
SFC: Are bloggers allowed in the press box?

CC: No, they usually are not.  They have made an exception for me because I occasionally write for some other publications, but my primary focus is the Canes Country Blog and they seem fine with that.
SFC: Peter Karmanos said that he will be more active in Hurricanes office the year, is it the case?

CC: If he has been more active in the front office, personally I have not seen it.  There has been no publicity about it, (other than his initial proclamation).  So from my viewpoint, I would say no.  
 

SFC: 6 Habs on All-Star starting lineup - good, bad or who gives a ***?

CC: I think it will be great for the Montreal fans and also good for the game of hockey.  It’s nice to see the passion, even if the game is just for fun.

SFC: Best place to watch hockey in Raleigh?

To watch the Hurricanes live, at the RBC Center.
To watch an away game at a bar, at Blincos.
To watch the local university play or the beer leagues, at the Rec Zone.
