You say that just in time for him to give up four quick ones against NJ tonight. Then, Ruutu scores the winning fucking goal.
Nothing new; they traded Jokinen to Pittsburgh and then what happens the first time they play Pitt afterwards? Hat trick for Jokinen.
He's had some success, but I really feel that Jim Rutherford's got to go in Carolina. It doesn't seem to matter who's on the ice or in net or on the bench, it's the same mediocre shit every year and the same lame sound bites from the locker room post-game. "We just gotta come oat and stick with our game and maybe we can get a lucky bounce or two. We're only 6 - no, 8, no 10 - points out of that eighth spot."
And they need somebody with some 'nads wearing the "C". Eric's a fine player that any team would love to have, (same as Jordan and Marc) but I don't think he's ever been comfortable as captain and he's never quite been up to a "franchise"-level player.
It says volumes that, when Eric was hurt earlier this year, Skinner was on a different line, he was scoring, and the Canes were winning.
