The Carolina chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association has selected James Reimer as the team’s no,one for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, which honors perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. He’s the 5th goalie nominated by the chapter, joining last year’s nominee, Curtis McIlhenney, Dan Ellis, Kevin Weekes and Arturs Irbe.

It’s been so long since we’ve had real hockey news, I don’t remember if anyone is a slam dunk this year. Columbus nominated Nathan Gerbe. Besides Reimer, 6 other goalies were nominated; Ryan Miller, Jonathan Quick, Alex Stalock, Corey Crawford, Henrik Lundqvist and Jacob Markstrom.

That EBUG story this season is still hard to believe...I kept watching that game unfold expecting the Leafs to light up Ayres like a Christmas tree and the Canes players kept digging in deeper and deeper and wanting to win it for the guy! It was just one of those moments that is still hard to fathom.

It wasn't until the game was inside about three minutes to go before I thought "you know, we could actually win this".

If you go back to the game day thread, you’ll see the white hot rage coming off my keyboard. But it was pretty clear that the Leafs weren’t interested in competing for much of the 3rd period.

I almost stopped watching when Ayers came in. I didn't want to see him get lit up. But of course I stayed turned. Looking back, I started texting quasi-Hurricane fans around the three minute mark.

Good times

After those two goals went in right close together, I remember thinking "There goes the game...The Leafs know exactly where his weakness is.". Then you could see the D tighten up, the passing improve, and a force field go up in front of Ayres. It was definitely a great moment for David Ayres, the NHL, and the Hurricanes.

Pretty sure the end result ended up being half on the Leafs for visibly letting off the gas once those easy ones went in and the Canes for deciding enough was enough and getting super defensive. Either way, it's probably the weirdest NHL game I've ever watched.
 
from twitter: More return to play progress, with Phase 3 (training camp) set to begin July 10. Assuming around three weeks for camps, you're looking at an early August date for puck drop in Phase 4.
 
My weekend got off to a fun start when John Forslund and Wade Minter liked my response to their Twitter exchange! (For the record, andyt did, too!)

I'm always hesitant to read stories about the Whalers because I'm always afraid that there will be swipes taken at North Carolina. It seems as if hockey fans outside of our fanbase just can't help themselves to, at best, take some sort of backhanded potshot at our Hurricanes and us fans. By the glowing reviews, I assume that this article contains none of that?
