Rangers 3, Canes 2

As expected the Carolina Hurricanes lost. It was a lot closer than I thought going to a 5th round of shootouts proved to much for the Canes. We definitely had our chances and the Rangers definitely had theirs. We still didn't score on the power play but we looked better. The goaltending was a work of art and that made the game much more nerve-racking. A few thing I noticed:

• Thank god Cam Ward is back. He played SO much better than Michael Leighton (especially on the shootout) 

• Joe Corvo is the king of Penalty Killing. He is undeniably our last line of defense.

• Justin Williams, played without question his best game this season. His 15:34 of game time allowed him to make nice passes and creative plays. 

• Is Chris Drury a figure skater also. On that game winning shootout goal he skated the entire way on one foot. Nice shot, by the way.
  
• Did we lose our away jerseys? Why are we wearing our alternate jerseys to away games?

Cam Ward is back

TSN has announced that the Carolina Hurricanes have activated Cam Ward from injured reserve. This is sort of a thank god moment because at least he won't flop on a shootout (See highlights below).  This means we have returned Justin Peters to Albany. I would have loved to see Peters play (especially after Philly caught up yesterday) but we stayed with Michael Leighton.
