Nice blog man, but I do have to disagree with one part of it.
Under Randy there was no dump and chase.....they never chased it
It was more like a dump and turnover......
Even more apt would be to say all they did was repeatedly take a dump

Just learned that not only did this guy run the defense for Babcock while he was in Detroit, he actually played for Mike Babcock at Red Deer College. - BINGO!
Babcock has been riding Peters' coattails for years.

Peters is a phenomenal coach. Wish we still had him.
From 11/12 to 13/14 DET had the 3rd best 5v5 CA60 and the 11th best 4v5 CA60 - Feds91Stammer
I won't lie, the difference between what this team was when Muller was fired to what it is today is unbelievable. The way Peters gets every single player on the roster to play the same way is a lot of fun to watch.
All five guys on the ice are able to cover for eachother all the time and they force turnover after turnover after turnover in the neutral zone.
With a little more talent up front, they'll be a damn good team.
Real excited to see what Peters can do with an Aho-Lindholm-Teravainen line.

At least 4. - BINGO!
How's your French Bingo?
In addition to the low attendance, which in turn generates lower income, the Hurricanes organization has faced a series of financial struggles and bad decisions under Karmanos, capped off this year by the emergence of a lawsuit against him on behalf of his three sons.
The lawsuit claims that Karmanos has defaulted on over $100 million borrowed from the trust he set up to support his sons, as well as relying upon money in the trust to support the franchise itself. While the claims in the lawsuit have yet to be proven or refuted, such accusations raise questions about the financial situation of the club and its owner.
It is certainly widely known that Karmanos has spent the last two years looking to either bring on a partner or sell the organization outright, yet no one has shown any interest in acquiring the team. With dwindling attendance figures, a club that has made the playoffs only once since their Stanley Cup win in 2006, an owner embroiled in a legal and financial crisis, and an expansion bid from Quebec City, the future relocation of the Hurricanes is seemingly on the horizon.

After moving out more skilled players who didn't fit in with the team's new proposed culture..... ah, (frank) it - enjoy that statement about 30th, you'll be there soon
