Mega-Recap-Post!

Didn't have time to post this week - wasn't near a computer and I've felt under the weather this weekend.

So it's time for a Mega-Recap-Post!

New Year's Eve the Canes beat the Thrashers 3-1 in a very sloppy game. The only reason I think the Canes won this one is because they were playing a crappy team like the Thrashers.

New Year's Day the Detroit Red Wings played the Chicago Blackhawks outside at Wrigley Field. I only saw the third period of this one, which means I really only saw Detroit whoop up on the Blackhawks - Chicago certainly lost that one. I really hope they continue to do these outdoor games - they are definitely fun to watch!

The next day the Canes beat the Blues 2-1. And, even though I attended the game, I can't remember anything important about it. Which says more about my current state of health than the game itself. But it was $1 popcorn night. So I feasted on some popcorn. Which was delicious. Especially at a dollar.

Then the day after that (aka yesterday) the Canes beat Tampa 3-2, which I also watched but can't remember a thing about now. Oh well, whatever.

If you want a laugh, (as if this meandering post wasn't enough), check out Alex Semin's "fight" against Marc Staal. I can guarantee you, my loyal readers, I can certainly throw a better punch than that nonsense...

Next game for the Canes is Tuesday against the Devils.

Stay off the roads...

...cause I got me a driver's permit!

All I can say is: FINALLY! After taking the stupid class in September, waiting until December to get the driving part done, getting the school to verify I have good enough grades to drive, finding all 15 forms that I needed, waiting at the DMV for an hour and 15 minutes - I am so happy to be one step closer to my license.
Plus, the permit is shiny. (No, seriously! The security hologram is of the Wright brothers plane and you can watch it go into the DOT symbol... and out again... in... and out... shiny...)

Anyways... There was something else I wanted to post... hmm... something to do with the Hurricanes, maybe?
Oh. Right.
Canes lost 5-2 to the C[r]apitals last night. Washington's scoring recap: two empty-net goals, two goals by Alexander Semin, and a David Tanabe own-goal.

I think that's all I need to say about the Canes play in that one.

Erik Cole stats: 1 goal
On the season: 21 goals, 24 assists
