Special Shout Out to Versus

Thanks guys.  No really, I mean that.  I did not want to watch the end of Game Seven between the Canes and Devils last night.  The preferred programming was indeed watching your round table of mullets talk about the Rangers and Caps.  Makes more sense than showing the end of what will go down as another classic series between New Jersey and Carolina.  Luckily for me, my good friends over at 850 The Buzz have the video up.

Question, who did Coach K root for during that series?

Erik Cole traded to Edmonton for Joni Pitkanen

In a move that was long awaited, often speculated, and now finally complete, the Carolina Hurricanes have officially moved Erik Cole to the Edmonton Oilers. In return they get Joni Pitkanen. I’m not going to pretend to know a whole lot about Pitkanen, but all indicators point towards GM Jim Rutherford pulling off a great deal for the Canes. They get a puck moving defenseman that the Canes desperately need. With the forward position being overloaded, Cole and his $4mil salary became expendable. This news saddens me because Cole was the heart of the Stanley Cup run back in 2006. With all of his Raleigh ties (family and friends), I would not be surprised to see Cole wind up back in a Hurricanes uniform before his career is over.
