How Did I Miss This?

Oh, that's right...I don't listen to 850 The Buzz 'cause of a little thing called not being in Raleigh anymore, at least for now. BUT, I do occasionally read other blogs, and happened upon this rather cool tidbit over at Bubba's Canes Country...

"I was listening to a Justin Williams interview on 850TheBuzz yesterday afternoon and he sounded very upbeat. He said that the team still feels very confident in what they can accomplish and they are close to putting things together. Of course they are as disappointed and frustrated as everyone else is about the loses, but there are no more excuses. They need to start winning hockey games. He said that they got a visit from Ron Francis after the game Tuesday night and the “Franchise” told them that they are in a similar situation that he was in with Pittsburgh back in 1992, the year after they first won the Cup. The Penguins barely squeaked into the playoffs, but ended up winning the Cup again that year. Isn’t it great to have one of the best players to ever play the game come into your locker room for some inspiration? If that doesn’t get the boys worked up, nothing will!"

Indeed, Bubba. No wonder the Canes have been doing quite well lately...perhaps I was just a little harsh in not calling the recent Devils/Canes game a "turning point".

Also worth mentioning is that Bubba also acknowledged Ron's presence in the 2006-07 Canes team photo.

As for new collectibles, there have been none lately...and not looking to be any for at least a little while.
