Sharpen Your Skates

Five months ago, the Hurricanes' season ended abruptly in the early days of April, and this blog truncated in quite the same short order. I was in the process of starting a new job at the time and I was busy, away from home a lot. Not to mention the manner in which the season came to an end was incredibly disappointing for us Caniacs. To have one game left on home ice with your own playoff destiny in your hands is the stuff of storybooks and bad sports movies.

The home team always wins in those tales though.

Not so with our Hurricanes, who couldn't pick up one last "W" in the season's final contest, sending them off to summer in the South of France or the North of Canada earlier than hoped.

Ah, but a new season is upon us here in Hockeytown, and the plot lines of a whole new story are just a few turns of the page away, waiting to be written. I am going to devote some time to this blog this season and keep it as full of content as time will allow. With any luck, the 'Canes will return to their championship form and make another deep charge into the playoffs. For the next 9 months, check in here for all your Hurricanes news and notes, as well as recaps and analysis of every single game.
