Brian Barbour on December 28th, 2006 |  Comments are closed Yes, I really like those end of year lists. It also nice to sit back and take stock of the year that was and how I covered it as a Tar Heel fan living in North Carolina. So without further ado here are Tar Heel Fan’s top five stories. #5. J.J. Redick and Duke favored [...] Continue reading THF Top Five Stories of 2006 -If there is one issue I have with Raleigh is their penchant to do things in a strange way. When you win a championship, especially in the professional world, you usually have a parade(it also should be noted that if NC State finishes 4th in the ACC and beats Notre Dame in a bowl game [...] Continue reading Stanley Cup Championship Musings, Part 2 Brian Barbour on June 20th, 2006 | Comments are closed First of all I will make the full disclosure that I have been to this point a bandwagon fan. I actually was, like many people, resistant to the whole “Southern hockey” deal as an assault on traditional Southern heritage. When the playoffs started I softened that stance because I felt that a Raleigh professional team [...] Continue reading Stanley Cup Championship Musings Brian Barbour on June 19th, 2006 | Comments are closed CAROLINA HURRICANES: STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS From ESPN.com:

Brian Barbour on June 19th, 2006 | Comments are closed I came to a realization Saturday night. I realized how glad I was that the NCAA Tournament does not include a best-of-seven series to win the championship. I just do not know how much I could deal with UNC being up 3-1 on someone and have them lose two straight games and look really bad [...] Continue reading The Weekend That Was The sports spotlight has shone on Raleigh during the Stanley Cup run and produced lots of Hurricane related stories. Here is a sampling of what I found: Local Media Pessimism Following Game 5 loss: CANES’ 112 POINT SEASON, PLAYOFF RUN PROVEN TO BE FLUKE BY GAME 5 LOSS RALEIGH POLICE ON SUICIDE WATCH FOR FIRST [...] Continue reading Surveying the Media Brian Barbour on June 16th, 2006 | Comments are closed “Momentum” is one of the great buzz words in sports media. There have been whole articles written about it. It even has a nickname(“mo’” or “big mo’”). It stands as one of those incredibly abstract and unproven concepts which sports journalist pontificate on for hours on end as it pertains to the results of the [...] Continue reading Talking About Momentum Brian Barbour on June 15th, 2006 | Comments are closed The Carolina Hurricanes lost Game 5 in OT to the Edomonton Oilers on a shorthanded goal off a lazy pass from Corey Stillman to Eric Staal. The Canes were hearding up ice on the power play when Stillman was bothered by a defender and hung the puck out in the open ice. It was taken [...] Continue reading Ooops! Canes Lose Game 5 Brian Barbour on June 14th, 2006 | Comments are closed The Carolina Hurricanes lead the best-of-seven series 3-1 with Game 5 tonight at the Big ATM(aka The RBC Center). This is a great scenario for the Canes, playing at home with a chance to clinch the Cup but is it also fraught with danger. Yes, 3-1 leads are commanding but I would venture to say [...] Continue reading Stanley Cup Finals Game 5 and Other Musings Brian Barbour on June 12th, 2006 | Comments are closed The Carolina Hurricanes took care of business in Edmonton tonight taking a tight 2-1 decision to give them a commanding 3-1 lead with Game 5 Wednesday night in Raleigh, NC. That’s right on Wednesday night you could have a professional hockey team clinch the Stanley Cup as the home team in Raleigh, NC. Brian Barbour on June 8th, 2006 | Comments are closed Or to put it into “redneck” terms the Canes took the Oilers behind the woodshed and beat the ever living daylights out of them with a two-by-four. Basically the Canes’ players were angry despite winning Game 1 because they played horribly for the first two periods. Game 2 was a different story as the Canes [...] Continue reading CANES WIN 5-0; NOW UP 2-0 ON OILERS Brian Barbour on June 1st, 2006 | Comments are closed CAROLINA HURRICANES EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS The Canes gave a scare going down 2-1 in the second but followed up with three goals in the third to win the Prince of Wales Trophy(yeah I know, I could do without all of the snooty Canadian names too but what can you do?)
