I think booing Rantanen is almost required. Unintentionally or not, he basically insulted the team and our fair city - and deserves the scorn we fans should give him.

But seeing Rantanen’s bullseye in the urinals in the men’s room last night was near perfect.

Did anyone hit it?

Speaking of Mikko the Moper, his agent is trying to do some damage control. And failing. The bottom line is that he poorly represented his client, taking the same deal I Dallas that he was offered in Colorado and, if the reports are true, less than what the Canes offered.

Rantanen's agent: Brind'Amour 'completely misinformed'

Mikko Rantanen's representative denied claims made by Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour about the superstar winger."We've got a ton of respect for Rod Brind'Amour, both as a player and a coach, but in this situation, he's completely misinformed," Andy Scott told Sportsnet 590's The...

Yes I think we all or most of us anyway agree. If they play like the last couple games they’re contenders. If they play like the games between Thanksgiving and the trade deadline they’re not. Hopefully they got whatever it was out of their system.
