| Who knew the relied on Cam Ward that much? The Canes were atrocious in the second half and ended up tied for the second-most goals against. | ||

| The Hurricanes were once 15-9-1. By beating Tampa Bay over the weekend the Hurricanes are now 18-24-3. So, uh, maybe Cam Ward should get some votes for the Hart? | ||

| They were going to take the bottom spot in these rankings simply because they just couldn't win anymore and then they somehow beat the Bruins. Just when you think they might get the best lottery odds they pull that one off. Still, they've lost 13 of 15. | ||

| They picked a good time to snap their seven-game losing streak, in the barn of the division-leading Jets. But yes, still missing Cam Ward out there. A lot. | ||

| They're starting to feel the loss of Cam Ward now. The Canes have lost five in a row and now Dan Ellis is dinged up, too. Of course, they won't win much scoring one goal per game as they did in past four. | ||

| Just when the Hurricanes were starting to get some separation in the division, they lose two in a row and to two teams near the bottom of the conference to boot. | ||

| The Hurricanes have somewhat quietly won 5 of 6 but the goaltending is worrisome. In the three games without injured Cam Ward, they've given up 10 goals. | ||

| The owners of a rare winning streak in the NHL this week, the Hurricanes finally won some games in their own division by sweeping the home-and-home from the Panthers ... Can Dan Ellis hold things down if Cam Ward is indeed out a few months? That's the big question. | ||
| 02/25/2013 | 13 | 11 |
| They stopped the bleeding of a three-game losing streak with a nice comeback win over the Islanders on Sunday. I still think they are the class of the Southeast this season, but as usual that's not saying much at all. | ||
| 02/18/2013 | 11 | 16 |
| Is there any doubt they are the cream of the Southeast crop? Not right now, but check back in a week. ... As long as they keep playing this flying style they should be fine. | ||

| Like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get here. The Canes could be really good, or this experiment could fall flat. ... The offense will be up, but they need the defense to be too. They are very young, but the blue line has a lot of promise. | ||
