NHL Team Reports
Weird, Wild, Wacky Carolina rehired Paul Maurice to coach the Canes, but don’t expect Peter Laviolette to return after he was ripped by the owner Carolina FEW WERE SURPRISED when Peter Laviolette was fired. Few were expecting him to be replaced by the man he had replaced five years earlier. Fewer still were expecting the owner – whose name Laviolette helped get on the Stanley Cup – to take the coach to task on his way out the door. It was hard to figure out which development was stranger: The return of Paul Maurice, almost five years to the day after he was fired, or owner Peter Karmanos’ bizarre criticism of Laviolette six weeks later. Laviolette was released Dec. 3, with the Hurricanes headed for a third straight season out of the playoffs after winning…
ASK Adam
Adam, As a New Jersey Devils fan, I have a lot of confidence they are the NHL’s most hardworking, clutch team. Do you think they are serious competitors for the Stanley Cup like the Red Wings, Sharks and Bruins? James, New Jersey James, I learned long ago never to count out GM Lou Lamoriello and the Devils.

2 Minutes in the Box WITH ANDREW PETERS
What was your ‘Welcome to the NHL Moment?’ I took a four-minute penalty in Philadelphia and the timekeeper in the penalty box said, ‘I’m reading here that it’s your first NHL game.’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ And he said, ‘Well, congratulations and good luck in your career.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, it might be a short one if they score on this power play.’ What’s the best trash talk you’ve heard? When I was in junior there was a guy playing on another team who had signed a big bonus and got sent back to junior. I was yelling at him from the bench and he turned to me and yelled, ‘Shut-up Peters. Or I’ll beat you with my money clip.’ Last job you had before hockey? I was working in a women’s shoe store doing…
