Some guys are just wired differently.

Four days removed from surgery, Charles Alexis Legault is out there just stickhandling with one hand.

Carolina just one day said, 'Hey, what if we gave 30 year old Sean Walker 25 minutes a night instead of 16,' and it's worked out tremendously well for them so far.

Anyway, happy birthday, Sean Walker

Is it time to start crowdfunding for the blueline?

Don't see a goalie being the last one on the ice for warmups too often, but Luukkonen stayed on by himself for a bit.

Also tossed a puck to some young Canes fans.

Welcome back, K'Andre Miller

Joel Nystrom has a busted lip, but says he otherwise got lucky after taking a puck to the face last night.

Pretty good.

Pyotr Kochetkov out on the ice before the team's optional skate in just normal clothes, but doing some stick handling work with gloves and a normal stick.

Fortunate to be heading into my seventh season covering the Canes, third with @TheHockeyNews.

As always, thanks for following along and here's to a great year!

Kotkaniemi at practice sporting the yellow, non-contact. Had missed the last few practices.

There'll be a special premiere of Seth Jarvis' Face Off episode tonight for select season ticket members.

Asked if he laughed at any of his own jokes from the episode: "Of course, I always laugh at myself."
October 2, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Jaccob Slavin looks like he'll be a full participant today, not wearing the yellow, non-contact jersey. (This is also 20mins before practice is schedule to start so we'll see if he is indeed staying out for that.)
