    2023-24 Preview

    The Carolina Hurricanes had an impressive 2022-23 season, finishing with a record of 52-21-9 and earning 113 points. They secured the top spot in the Metropolitan Division. In the playoffs, however, they faced a tough challenge from the Florida Panthers and ultimately lost in the Conference Final. Despite this setback, the Hurricanes showcased their strength throughout the season.

    Making Additions

    The Carolina Hurricanes made some notable additions to their roster for the upcoming 2023-24 season. These acquisitions are expected to contribute to the team’s performance on the ice:

    1. Dmitry Orlov (D): Orlov, a skilled defenseman, brings experience and solid defensive abilities to the Hurricanes. He is known for his strong puck-moving skills and can contribute offensively as well. Orlov also brings Stanley Cup experience having won it with the Washington Capitals in 2018.
    2. Michael Bunting (F): Bunting, a forward, adds depth to the Hurricanes’ forward lines. He is known for his scoring ability and has shown promising potential in his previous NHL stints. Bunting will be expected to provide an offensive spark to the team. The only question concerning Bunting is how will he perform now that he is not in Toronto with impact players like Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Mitch Marner?
    3. Tony DeAngelo (D): DeAngelo, another defenseman, brings offensive prowess to the Hurricanes’ blue line. He is a skilled puck-mover and has the ability to contribute offensively. DeAngelo, however, is a known defensive liability and will need a reliable partner to aid in the defensive zone when DeAngelo is on the ice.

    Looking for “It”

    These additions aim to strengthen the Hurricanes’ roster and provide additional depth in both their offensive and defensive departments. With these new players on board, the Hurricanes will be looking to build upon their previous season’s success and make a strong push in the upcoming season.

    The Carolina Hurricanes are looking for “It” to finally get past the Conference Final and win the Stanley Cup. With the offseason moves they have made, they are hoping to have found “It”.

  • Canes Drop Devils in OT to Advance

    Canes Drop Devils in OT to Advance

    New Jersey Devils @ Carolina Hurricanes

    (CAR wins series 4-1)

    Game Recap:

    Following a crushing 6-1 loss and being forced to the brink of elimination, the New Jersey Devils look to fight another day as they take on the Carolina Hurricanes in enemy territory in game five. It was a pretty even first period with both teams trading some chances. However, it would be the Devils who would breakthrough at the 15:06 mark with a Dawson Mercer goal and get on the board first. Mercer would deflect the puck in on a long cross ice pass to give New Jersey the 1-0 lead and take the lead into the intermission.

    Jacob Slavin got the Hurricanes on the scoreboard early in the early seconds of period two as he would wrist a shot from the point that way find it’s way to get by goalie Akira Schmid to tie the score up at one. Fast forward about seven minutes give or take, Timo Meier would pot one in on the power play off of a rebound from a Dougie Hamilton shot to give the Devils a 2-1 lead. Carolina did get the equalize from Brent Burns late in the period as he whipped a shot through traffic and in to tie the score up 2-2. We would take that score into the third period.

    Period three was a very eventful one with both the Devils and Hurricanes trading multiple chances. Each team came super close but both Akira Schmid & Frederik Andersen kept their respective teams in this game and the puck out of the net. This game would now move onto overtime with the Devils hoping to stay alive, while the Hurricanes look to move onto the Eastern Conference Final.

    In overtime, Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler would send a puck over the glass for a delay of game penalty to put the Carolina Hurricanes on the power play. The Canes would certainly take advantage as Jesper Fast would tip in a shot from Jesperi Kotkaniemi for the overtime game winner to help Carolina advance to the conference final. The Hurricanes now await the winner of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers matchup.

    Canes Decimate the Devils in Game 4

    Carolina Hurricanes @ New Jersey Devils

    (CAR leads series 3-1)

    Game Recap:

    After a wild victory the other night, the New Jersey Devils looks to even up the series against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Devils did get off to a good fast start thanks to a Jack Hughes goal that he redirected off of a Timo Meier shot to give their team a 1-0 lead. It would remain that way for a while until late in the period Martin Necas tied things up scoring on a 2 on 1 that was created off of a turnover in the neutral zone. After the first period the score would be tied 1-1.

    Things started to unravel for New Jersey in the second period as the Hurricanes scored five times to really put themselves out in front as they got goals from Martin Necas (second of the game), Brett Pesce, Jesper Fast, Brent Burns, & the especially red hot Jordan Martinook. The explosion of offense would put Carolina up 6-1 after two periods.

    Period three saw the Hurricanes shut down the Devils the rest of the way and not giving them much opportunity at all to get back in this one and would warn the victory by a final score of 6-1. The Devils backs are against the wall not facing elimination against the Hurricanes in game five on Thursday night down in Ralieigh.

  • Devils Blow Past Canes in Wild Game 3 Victory

    Devils Blow Past Canes in Wild Game 3 Victory

    Carolina Hurricanes @ New Jersey Devils

    (CAR leads series 2-1)

    Game Recap:

    To say this afternoon‘s game between the New Jersey Devils and Carolina Hurricanes was interesting would be an understatement. This game was wild on the scoresheet all around. It features power play goals, short handed goals, a penalty shot goal, and several multi point players in this thrilling game three matchup. New Jersey dictated the play in period one as they would get off to a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Timo Meier, a Shorthanded goal from Michael McLeod on a nice individual effort, and Jack Hughes on a top shelf shot off of a give and go. It would be Devils up by three after the first period.

    Nico Hischier would end Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen’s night with an early second period goal just fifty three seconds in. Pyotr Kochetkov would enter the game hoping to clean up the mess but unfortunately to no avail. Sebastian Aho respond about a minute later to get his team on the board before Damon Severson extended the Devils lead to 5-1 at the 5:33 mark. Carolina did get one more goal before the period was up as Jordan Martinook was awarded a penalty shot while his team was Shorthanded on the PK and converted to get the score to 5-2 and it would remain that way the rest of the period.

    If you thought the scoring was over, you were clearly wrong. Miles Wood would score at the 3:08 mark receiving a beautiful stretch pass from the goal line in the breakout where he took the puck in on a beautiful effort by him and slid the puck five hole for the Devils sixth goal of the game. Moments later we saw Jack Hughes roof one that barely got over the goalie to increase the lead to seven. Game still not crazy enough yet? Then we saw two consecutive shorthanded goals by Carolina as Jordan Stall and Seth Jarvis would score to get the game within three. Finally the scoring ended as Ondrej Palat would pot one in on the power play with a one timer set up by Jesper Bratt. The New Jersey Devils went on to beat the Carolina Hurricanes in a wild one by a final score of 8-4 as we now turn the page to game four on Tuesday night at the Prudential Center.

    Canes Dominate Devils to Take Game 1

    New Jersey Devils @ Carolina Hurricanes

    (CAR leads series 1-0)

    Game Recap:

    Tonight begins round two of the Stanley Cup playoffs and this matchup features first of a best of seven between the visiting New Jersey Devils and hosting Carolina Hurricanes. The Devils are coming off a shutout victory in game seven against the New York Rangers while the Hurricanes vanquished the New York Islanders in six games. New Jersey is without the services of prized acquisition Timo Meier after suffering an injury due to a Jacob Trouba hit the previous game. Unfortunately for the Devils, this was a game they want to turn the page and do better next game. Carolina got off to a great start by scoring twice in the first period thanks to goals from Brett Pesce and Seth Jarvis to make it 2-0 in favor of the Hurricanes heading into the second period.

    Jesperi Kotkaniemi kept the momentum going as he scored early on at the 1:55 mark of period two putting the puck in at the side of the net for his first goal of the playoffs. Moments later, the Devils got on the board thanks to a Nathan Bastian breakaway goal to get his team within two. That would be the only goal New Jersey would get the rest of the way.

    Carolina added two more goals from Brady Skjei and an empty netter from Jesper Fast to seal the victory by a final score of 5-1. The Hurricanes did to the Devils what they normal do to other teams which is use their high attack speed and used it against them. Both teams are back in action for game two on Friday night in Raleigh.

    Game Recap:

    Here we are, another outdoor spectacle for the National Hockey League as the Stadium Series features a Metropolitan Division matchup between the Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals. It wouldn’t take the Hurricanes very long to get on the board thanks to an early goal from Jesperi Kotkaniemi who tipped in a feed from Teuvo Teravainen for the 1-0 lead. It would remain close for the rest of the first period heading into the intermission.

    Paul Stastny expanded Carolina’s lead to two as he put in the rebound off of a Justin Chatfield shot from the point. Moments later saw Martin Necas bombing a shot from the left face off circle on the power play to make it 3-0 in favor of the hole teams. Carolina took that lead heading into the third and final period.

    Midway through the third period saw the Hurricanes add to their lead for a four goal advantage. Goalie Frederik Andersen flipped the puck out to set up a 2 on 1 where Teuvo Teravainen was set up for the goal on a five and go between him and Martin Necas. Finally at the 10:32 mark, Tom Wilson would get the Capitals on the scoreboard as he fired a shot from a sharp angle and in to beat the goalie. Carolina would shut it down the rest of the way and win by a final score of 4-1.

    Who’s ready for some more outdoor hockey? Get ready because we are twenty four hours away from an exciting matchup as the Carolina Hurricanes host the Washington Capitals at Carter-Finley Stadium, the home of College Football’s NC State in Raleigh, North Carolina.

    It’s always exciting whether you’re a hockey player or a fan when you take hockey back to its roots by playing the game where it started and was created…the outdoors. The NHL has done such a great job with the outdoor games going all the way back to the first Winter Classic between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres in 2008. As far as the Stadium Series game, it was introduced back in 2014 as we saw the Los Angeles Kings host the Anaheim Ducks at Dodger Stadium.

    Let’s take a look at our two participants in the Washington Capitals and the Carolina Hurricanes heading into this Stadium Series matchup:

    The Official Jersey Retailer of TXHT

    Washington Capitals

    The Caps have been struggling a bit as of late with three straight losses in regulation after their victory over the league leading Boston Bruins last Saturday. Washington has been having challenges lately with scoring at even strength and on the power play. To be fair, some of those struggles come from injuries and absences to key players which has been the case a lot this season.

    Unfortunately for the Capitals, they will be without their captain and leading scorer Alex Ovechkin for the Stadium Series as he grieves the loss of his father who passed away recently. We all send Alex Ovechkin and his family nothing but comfort and strength during this difficult time. Despite their recent struggles, this is a team that has players that have experience playing in an outdoor game. I expect the Caps to draw back on those experiences as well as the fact that games like these tend to bring out the best in teams and they will find a way to step up their game.

    The Official Jersey Retailer of TXHT

    Carolina Hurricanes

    It’s been a very good season so far for the Hurricanes as they have the second bast record in the NHL (36-10-8 80pts) and are trying to chase down the Boston Bruins for the league’s top spot. After having their seven game win streak snapped at the hand of the New York Rangers, Carolina got right back to their winning ways winning twice this week and defeating their Stadium Series opponent in the Capitals 3-2.

    This will be Carolina’s first experience with playing in an outdoor game. You can say it’s just another game, but this really isn’t just another game. Whether it’s the Winter Classic or a Stadium Series game, it’s definitely something special and much more than just a regular season game. It’ll be interesting to see how the Canes handle everything that comes with this and being the hosts of a game of this magnitude. Carolina is one of the best teams in the league and I’m sure they’ll play well in front of their fans.

    Prediction

    I see the Capitals winning in a close one by a score of 3-2 this time instead of the Hurricanes. Predicting right here that Nicklas Backstrom will get the game winner for Washington. The Caps have experience in outdoor games (3-0-0 record in outdoor games) and I expect them to use that to pull off the victory here. I am also predicting that overall, this is going to be a very fun event to be a part of no matter what the result will be, and I’m excited to be there in person to watch and cover this game. Stay tuned for more Stadium Series coverage from me here at TXHT!

    2022-23 Preview

    Coming off another second round failure, the Carolina Hurricanes made some moves with the hopes that they will push the Canes to the promised land. Gone are veterans like Vincent Trocheck and Nino Niederreiter, as well as headache Tony DeAngelo, and in are Brent Burns, Ondrej Kase, Paul Stastny, and Ryan Dzingel. Also acquired over the summer is forward Max Pacioretty, but he will be missing time due to knee surgery and may not be available to the team until the second half of the season. With these moves the Hurricanes will most likely stay atop the Metropolitan Division.

    Question for the Hurricanes will once again be in net this season. After doing the overhaul and bringing in veterans Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta the previous offseason, injuries would doom the Canes going into the playoffs. Biggest question is will Andersen, the 1A goalie, be able to stay healthy, and more importantly, stay healthy for a potential long playoff run? Raanta played solid for the Canes but injuries also slowed him down, and took him out of a few playoff games as well.

    Just a wish on my end, but I would love to see Ethan Bear get a larger role this season with the Canes. He has the potential, but his first season in Carolina was disappointing due to not getting the opportunities he should have gotten.
