I believe in Jake Delhomme. I do, I really do.

I believe in the story of a guy who comes out of nowhere and gets a shot. I love the story of a nobody coming off the bench and taking a team to the Super Bowl that had never been there before.

I believe in a guy who has played beyond what the critics say his ability is. I love the story of an everyman schmoe who breaks into the big time.

I believe in a guy who will wing it out there in the hope and belief that his go to guy will catch it and make something happen.

I believe in a guy that suffers what should have been a career ending injury and he works his way back. I love the fact that the guy takes his team to its best regular season schedule ever.

I believe in the guy who has the worst game of his career, in the national spotlight, on his birthday. I love the fact that when he could have shifted the blame, he said it was all on him.

I believe in the guy who came back to play again even when almost everyone had quit on him. And I love that even in the face of adversity, he's still winging that ball downfield, trying to make something happen, and trusting in his teammates.

And I believe in the guy that still takes all the blame on his shoulders. And I love the fact that his coach is going to stand by him and let him have one last shot to get his revenge this Sunday and to get back what was taken from him.

Here's to you, Jake. I'll cheer when you take the field and I'll cheer when you walk off the field the victor. If it doesn't work out, I'll still be a fan forever.

I didn't think he was done until the Buffalo game. Up until then it seemed to be more of team thing. Now I think he is broken, like Rick Ankiel in pitching a few years back, but hey miracles do happen. Ankiel is playing in the bigs again, maybe Delhomme can play special teams :).

To me, this is the game. The Cardinals are the team that this whole thing really started against, and they could be the team it ends against. I've been as big a Jake supporter as anyone, and a much bigger one than most on here. I think if he gets it done this weekend, it could be a corner he's starting to turn. If not, I don't know that I'll think he's our guy anymore.

      Another Win

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
