There's a chance this fiasco of a labor war in the NHL could finally come to an end, possibly this week, and the season finally begin later this month.
It's been a long wait -- way too long. That also brings up the question: what have you missed the most about not seeing the Canes play this season?
Seeing Jordan Staal in a Canes' sweater? Alex Semin? The game atmospheres, the tail-gates? What have you, the fan, missed most as 2012 comes to an end?
The floor is open.

Watching Lindy Ruff lose

Too bad I can't sit in on the John Tortorella postgame press conferences.
Watching Lindy Ruff Lose..

As for Tortorella, he is, um, equal parts humorous, cantankerous, bluster, and honest to a fault. His back and forth sessions with Larry Brooks are great theater.
The chance..
Tue, 01/01/2013 - 18:11 — louis12580to see E.Staal play with a true sniper like Semin. Also, the possibility of a Staal/Staal/Semin/Faulk/Pitkanen power play unit.
And no, Doug, I don't want the Staals and Semin on on line at all times.
