Power Rankings Respect, Canes #2

[tvandenberg]

Can't complain about this.

Can't deny the otherworldly play of Cam Ward and the youthful Hurricanes (did you catch rookie Jeff Skinner's play in the second of Carolina's back-to-back wins in Helsinki?) in sweeping their first two games of the season against Minnesota. After a dreadful start in 2009-10, Carolina comes home from Europe with its confidence way up.

Wow I am very surprised they have us that high. I hope they are right.

[Goosfraba21]

lol at the Pens and Devil's at 27 and 28 out of 30 teams. I understand this is based on 2 games but those 2 teams are much better than that.

I just spit my beer out reading that 2 seed.

It's too early to have power rankings.

#2 does feel good though

[KillerKat]

We are going to be something special this year. I can feel it.

[tvandenberg]

I think it is funny that they have the records pushing the power rankings (since that's not the intent of power rankings), so I do question most the list. But, something special is in the works. It's upsetting that I'm in the Navy and will be "somewhere in the Atlantic" during playoff season.

Is it too early to buy a Jeff Skinner Jersey? Im close to pulling the trigger.

I was thinking the same thing, but I'm going to go with Sutter

Not too early at all. He will be with the team all year and will only get better.

Number two is a good feeling..lets just hope we'll be that high in a few months. Damn..i wish i could get games down here...(louisiana) fml.

[Goosfraba21]

You can usually always find the games online somewhere if you can't get center ice.

[tvandenberg]

Worst case, you can always find the streaming audio. Not quite the same, but a good backup plan.

thanks guys. I normally can find most bobcats games streaming online. its a little more difficult for canes games unless they're playing someone from a huge market. Center ice just isn't an option for a poor college kid...:/
