  1. Jamie Storr! Blast from the past. Did not realize he ever played for the Canes.

  2. Ghost is back on the Canes for three years. Other than that I remember Anson Carter playing a game very vaguely and man what might have been if Svech and Pacioretty didn’t get hurt.

  3. Oilers fans who watched the 2006 Cup Finals probably remember Marc-André Bergeron and not for good reasons – he inadvertently injured their starting goalie Dwayne Roloson late during Game 1, and Roloson missed the rest of the series. Needing to cycle between their backup and third-string goalies is regarded as one of the biggest reasons they lost that year.

    But at the tail end of the 2012-13 season, we finally got [the chance to recall our deep cover operative](https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/9125072/) by trading with Tampa Bay. He played the final 13 games of his NHL career in a Hurricanes sweater, and if you look at [his Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc-Andr%C3%A9_Bergeron), you’ll see that the highlighted picture was taken during this tenure.

  4. My hockey obsessed ass remembering most of the pics from this series and not thinking they’re that out of place. Maybe I gotta go outside.

  5. Pacioretty looks so good in red 😎

    It’s also fun to see all the jerseys variations 

  6. Didn’t Pacioretty play like two games then he blew out the same Achilles playing basketball?

    Almost forgot Derek Stepan

  7. Belanger one has to be one of the weirdest, right ? I was kidna too young to understand but just thought it was a weird situation.

  8. I completely forgot Pacioretty had that midseason comeback, I thought he’d just been injured the whole time.

  9. I’ve been monitoring these. Quite entertaining. Frankly I’m always surprised when I don’t see Jagr

  10. I remember Stastny because he scored an OT series winner against us and Cole because of Abby Labar

  11. I’m sorry every time I see a right catching goalie that wears 35 I only ever think of the goat STEVE MASON

  12. You could include Geoff Sanderson (40 GP) and Sean Burke (25 GP) if you don’t factor in their time in Hartford.

    Does Owen Nolan qualify for Colorado? We’ll find out on Thursday!

  13. Not the point of this post, but scrolling through these pictures really reinforces what a bust the Canes’ early 2010s redesign was. Those plain red jerseys with the white stripes looked like some shit you’d buy at Walmart. Their look is better now, though they honestly could just go back to their late-2000s jerseys and it would be perfect

  14. The 47 second legend James Wisniewski

    Could have also put Ondrej Kase down for it too.

  15. Where were you when you remembered James Wisniewski was a Carolina Hurricane?

    Excluding guys with only one NHL game and players who were papered over in 3-team deals, that might be the least career ice time with a team of any player ever.

  16. Weird, didn’t know I attended Wisniewski’s last game in the NHL. It was also the same game in which Viktor Arvidsson scored his first NHL goal.

  17. Doug Weight got his Stanley Cup with the Canes that season. 16pts in 23 playoff games too, great deadline acquisition.
