In recent years, we have been treated to a certain rivalry between the Canadian and the Hurricanes. Marc Bergevin got the ball rolling with a hostile offer to Sebastian Aho in 2019, then the Hurricanes responded with a hostile offer to Jesperi Kotkaniemi in the summer of 2021.
And we will remember that they did not hesitate to taunt the Habs during the process, but also long following.
But behind the scenes, it seems that the war between the two clubs was also very present. We will remember that it was the CH which would have denounced the illegal preparatory schedule of the Hurricanes in 2021, and clearly, the two clubs did not like each other.
However, even in terms of good procedures between the two clubs, it was visibly quite tense. In an extract from Pierre Gervais’ most recent book (which will be published on Monday for pre-orders and on Wednesday officially) shared by Mathias Brunet this morningwe learn that when Joel Edmundson arrived in town, the Hurricanes had only sent a handful of sticks to CH, while custom normally dictates that we send all of the player’s remaining sticks.

In fact, rather than sending all the defender’s sticks, the Canes had only sent six and they had received credit for the others, so Gervais had to go directly through the company to obtain the other sticks.
In fact, the Wisconsin Badgers had roughly done the same thing when Cole Caufield arrived in Montreal, but universities have tighter budgets, so that it is defensible in their case. The Hurricanes did it out of revenge… or because they were simply “cheap”.
At least, Gervais and the CH did not hesitate to take revenge once morest the Hurricanes followingwards. When Jesperi Kotkaniemi arrived in Raleigh, he did so with just a handful of sticks, and Gervais didn’t hesitate to tell his counterpart in Carolina to go through Bauer to get some sticks.
Did I tell you that these two clubs didn’t like each other?
The basic reaction of the Hurricanes, whether motivated by financial reasons or a desire for “revenge”, is quite ordinary. If it has to do with money, then the club is Really “cheap”, and if it’s for revenge, it’s a bit ordinary to drag the equipment attendants into this little war.
Because no, it was not Pierre Gervais who submitted a hostile offer to Sebastian Aho.
We sense that the legendary equipment man thinks the reasons were financial, and if that’s the case, it’s pretty absurd that an NHL team doesn’t have the means to send ordinary sticks to a another club.
Finally, maybe Marc Bergevin was right to think that Tom Dundon was too broken to match the offer submitted to Aho…

A Quebec family went to see Lane Hutson and his team play yesterday in Boston.
The kid took the time to have his photo taken while he was on the ice. #Class pic.twitter.com/FPs2N2KfFy

– What a story all crooked…
We’ve been led to believe that NHL players weren’t aware until Pinto’s suspension that any player who opens an online betting account has their information forwarded to the league’s security department for compliance purposes. #Sens

– Interesting.
How important is speaking French when playing for the #Habs?

– Advocating patience with hopes is sometimes a cursed good idea.
Konecny and Sanheim are great examples of a team being patient with high picks. Yes…sometimes even past the five year rule of thumb. Everyone has a different timetable when it comes to reaching their true primes.
