Carolina Hurricanes Mt. Rushmore

Yes there has been plenty of postings in the football section of ESPN's NC Mt. Rushmore, Panther MT. Rushmore and I believe even a huddle MT. Rushmore but now us Canes fans have our own Mt. Rushmore thanks to Buccigross of ESPN.

Carolina Hurricanes/Hartford Whalers

The team: Rod Brind'Amour, Kevin Dineen, Ron Francis and Eric Staal.

The theory: Francis is hockey royalty, the greatest Whale of them all. Dineen is hockey heart and soul. Staal is a stallion on skates. Brind'Amour is a coach's dream, the ultimate self-motivator.

Can't argue too much about the list except maybe switching out Dineen in my opinion for one of the below:

Irbe, still the most wins for a goalie in our franchise and was a huge factor in our franchises early success.

Ward, won the Smythe and a cup, is young like Staal and a face of the franchise, in the future will probrably pass Irbe

    • Aggressive runner, hits the hole fast, and runs angry.  Just a few yards shy of the single game record for the team.  Absolutely phenomenal performance.  If the gameplan hadn't become weirdly pass heavy for the 3rd and first half of the 4th quarters he might have been flirting with 300.
    • I felt that way before the season started, but I'm sorry, he's already proven he isn't that guy, I don't need to learn anything more about him. He threw the ball 30 times today and could only throw for 198 yards, which was his 2nd best yardage game this year, he's just not the guy. Which means this season has already moved onto the 2nd most important thing going into this season after evaluating Bryce, and that's developing our best young players. You don't do that by only throwing 8 of your 30 passes to your best player who is still only a rookie.  Pepper him with targets and help develop him so he's ready to take a huge leap next year when we get a real HC and QB to get him the ball.
    • Every win comes from a non-sustainable source.  As CRA mentioned, Penix absolutely imploding against ATL, and then today, defense finally clicked and looked the best they’ve looked in a long time (and still have up 24 points lol) and Rico ran for 200+ yards.  We’re not going to get that every week, especially against good teams, which neither Miami or ATL are.  Both MIA and ATL are bad teams and Bryce still couldn’t get it together.  The defense (and team) had to overcome 14 points because of his turnovers again.  That was not even an average QB performance.  We are winning in spite of him.
