Anyone want to take a stab at the roster?
It appears that Giorgio will be playing as a 20. That's huge.

Sorry I am out.

I held out a long time hoping things would get better but now I am at the point it just isn't worth caring about the Hurricanes anymore. I can still take my kids up to Calgary to Flames games to help build their passion for the sport but it's just too hard to continually get kicked in the mouth by ineptitude of this organization.

Hope everyone else enjoys it because the WHL is an awesome league to support and when the team was run well it was a blast going to the games. I am sure most will be happy to not have to read my angry rants anymore.

I, for one, enjoy having you around, Moon!! Even though I don't always agree with you, that's kind of the idea of these types of forums....to get discussion going.

I, however, still struggle with your apparent hate for this organization. While I will agree that ineptness was the word de jour for many years with this bunch, but why the hate now? How would getting out of a $1M hole, or going almost to the Eastern final be "ineptitude"? How does having a board that lets management actually make good, productive hockey decisions mean "ineptitude"? How does having a GM, that by all measurement standards is wildly successful, constitute "ineptitude"? How does having a coach that inspires maybe less than "wildly talented" players to play arguably above their pay grade, and meanwhile be selected as the Ivan Helenka coach be considered "ineptitude"?

I, like you Moon, absolutely love junior hockey. These kids play, and play hard. It is not always perfect hockey, but it is damn fun to watch. With all of the stuff from the past, it is frankly refreshing to have a team like the Hurricanes perform well both on the ice, and in the boardroom. I just hope that you, Moon, and the other "Hurricane haters" out there can forget the past and embrace this group; players, management, and board, for the good things they have managed to give us the past few years.
