Preview: Whalers vs Canadiens


Montreal Canadiens Record: 9-11-0 (4th in the Northeast)

Carolina Hurricanes Record: 3-12-4 (Last in the Southeast)

Canadiens Record vs. Hurricanes Since 2005: 4-11-1-0

Canadiens Likely Goalie: Carey Price

Hurricanes Likely Goalie: Michael Leighton

Canadiens Top Scorer: Tomas Plekanec (4 goals, 17 points)

Hurricanes Top Scorer: Ray Whitney (6 goals, 13 points)

Injury Report: The Whalers will be without Chris Pronger, Ron Francis... oh sorry.

The Hurricanes will be without Michael Ryan (upper-body), Cam Ward (knife fight) and Eric Douchebag Staal (upper body).

Les Habitants will be without Andrei Markov (ankle), Hal Gill (no talent), Ryan O'Byrne (lower-body), Georges Laraque (less talent)and Matt D'Agostini (concussion). Brian Gionta is questionable (lower-body)

Preview Notes: The Carolina Hurricanes are fresh off their first victory of the season since the Nixon administration. There was a parade held in their honor. The 'Canes blew leads of 3-0 and 4-1 against the offensively challenged Wild, so let's not get too excited here.

If the 53 save version of Price is in net tonight, just chalk up a victory for the Montreal Canadiens. If the "bad" Price is in net...well, you can probably still just give the Canadiens a victory. The Habs are struggling as well, but not nearly as bad as the Hurricanes. Should be an ugly, ugly game.

Preview: Two Worst Teams in the League!!!


Toronto Maple Leafs Record: Atrocious 1-7-5

Carolina Hurricanes Record: Awful 2-9-3

Maple Leafs Record vs. Whalers Since 2005: 7-5-3-1

Maple Leafs Likely Goalie: Jonas Gustavsson

Hurricanes Likely Goalie: pylon Cam Ward

Maple Leafs Top Scorer: Tomas Kaberle (2 goals, 17 points)

Whalers Top Scorer: Geoff Sanderson Ray Whitney (4 goals, 8 points)

Injury Report: The Leafs will be without Mike Van Ryn (knee) and Jamie Heward (concussion). The Hurricanes will be without Eric Staal (injured vagina). Staal was injured at a gay bath house.

Preview Notes: This game will most likely be painful to watch. Sorry Leafs fans, but they are awful. Hurricanes fans... I'm not sorry, your team sucks. Seriously.

This will be Kessel's 2nd game of the season. Despite not registering a goal Kessel looked great in his first action of the season, even making great plays from the ground

Carolina has lost 10 in a row. 10! They have also been outscored 19-4 in their last 4 games. The team that loses tonight will be the worst team in the league, stats wise. Is it possible to just call it a tie?

Keep your head up Kessel!
