While the Carolina Hurricanes are putting themselves in strong position to eventually secure home-ice advantage in the postseason, the New York Rangers appear to be a shell of the squad that won the teams' second-round playoff series last season in six games. The Hurricanes will attempt to extend their winning home winning streak to nine games, while the Rangers hope to avoid a fourth straight loss when the Metropolitan Division foes convene for the first time this season on Wednesday in Raleigh, N.C. Carolina missed winning the division by three points last season, when it finished with 111. The title instead went to New York, which also won the Presidents' Trophy after racking up a league-best 114 points. Just more than a month into the new season, the Hurricanes own the third-most points in the league (31) and are outscoring foes 41-16 on home ice since taking a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in their home opener on Oct. 11. Carolina has scored at least four goals in each game of its home winning streak and has hit that mark 16 times overall in 21 games this season. The Hurricanes kept the streak alive with Monday's 6-4 victory over the Dallas Stars. Carolina scored five goals in the third period, including a tiebreaking, power-play goal from Martin Necas with under three minutes left to overcome a 3-1 deficit. "I already know what we have," Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "It's just, can they grasp how we have to play every shift? I think sometimes we get a little off and try to do things differently, then all of a sudden, we get to the way we have to play... We don't always get the result like that, but you're giving yourself a chance. Really, a game like that, that's what you're hoping you get out of it." Sebastian Aho scored the first goal of the third-period flurry and collected three assists. Seth Jarvis scored in his first game since Nov. 9 and collected two assists, including the secondary helper on the goal by Necas. The Hurricanes are continuing to win despite uncertainty in goal. Frederik Andersen is about a month into his recovery from knee surgery and Pyotr Kochetkov is in the concussion protocol after colliding with defenseman Sean Walker in Saturday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Spencer Martin started in goal Monday. The Rangers raced out to a 5-0-1 start but are just 7-7-0 since then and have lost three straight. New York ended its four-game road trip with a 6-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday and produced another dud in a 5-2 home loss to the St. Louis Blues Monday. Will Cuylle scored twice, but big names Vincent Trocheck, Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad combined for six shots on goal and were a combined minus-7 as the Rangers were outshot 44-29. "We need to be better," New York coach Peter Laviolette said. "Everybody needs to be better. It's not good enough what we're doing." Monday's loss came after reports surfaced that general manager Chris Drury told other teams he may be willing to trade forward Chris Kreider and defenseman Jacob Trouba, who has a no-move clause to 15 teams. Kreider on Monday missed his first game since Jan. 16, 2023, due to an upper-body injury and is day-to-day. He has nine goals in 19 games this season. Trouba was on the ice for two goals Monday and has just two points since collecting four assists in the first three games this season. --Field Level MediaIndiana encouraged by 'total team effort' with Miami (OH) up next
Polite Laurentian society is in outrage at news Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will try to block Ottawa from imposing an emissions cap on the oil industry. “We’re kind of at the end of the negotiation, compromise phase, and we’re now in protection of our jurisdiction and protection of our industry phase,” Smith said at a Monday news conference. A new motion under the Sovereignty Act would “make it virtually impossible for Ottawa to impose the cap in Alberta,” a source told Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid , who broke the story. The motion, unveiled Tuesday, proposes to “ensure that no provincial entity participates in the enforcement or implementation of the federal cap.” The primary complaint from the bien pensants is basically that Alberta isn’t allowed to do that. People are “pretending the Premier has a magic wand enabled by anger and resentment,” University of Alberta economics professor Andrew Leach complained . “Alberta (is) playing with the ‘sovereignty’ fire that could ignite a secession threat (greater) than one likely to be triggered by Quebec separatists,” University of Ottawa law professor Errol Mendes warned . “We’ve got a lawless lunatic to our south imposing tariffs inside a free trade zone, and a lawless lunatic in Alberta pretending to veto federal laws inside a federation,” Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne complained . “I assume Quebec will be along in a few minutes to make the circus the full three rings.” I’m pretty much with them — well, not the “sovereignty fire” part, but the rest. Fundamentally, the Sovereignty Act allows the Alberta government to direct “provincial entities to engage in an act that would be contrary to federal law,” as University of Calgary law professors Martin Olszynski and Nigel Bankes wrote in 2022 . Even if you’re past caring about laws you don’t like — and there’s a lot of that going around — it’s a precedent that some future premier will probably use in a way you really don’t appreciate. Alas, this particular ship set sail from Quebec City long ago. The National Assembly firmly set the “nuts to the Constitution” precedent in 2022 when it unilaterally — and unanimously — passed an amendment to the 1867 Constitution Act excusing MNAs from swearing allegiance to the Canadian monarch. Bill 4 simply read as follows: “Section 128 does not apply to Quebec.” In my view (and the view of every constitutional expert I know of who isn’t a Quebecer), the National Assembly had roughly as much authority to do that as the Alberta legislature has to ignore federal legislation it doesn’t like — which is to say none. The best evidence of this, I have argued in the past, was that Section 128 had not in fact been amended ... because a province can’t amend the Constitution on its own. But now, I’m amazed to see, the federal Ministry of Justice has actually updated the online version of the 1867 Constitution Act to reflect the change . Tra-la-la, nothing matters. The monarchy is dumb anyway, right? Recently, mayor-elect Stephen Johnson and the four-member council in Dawson City, Yukon, decided they wouldn’t swear allegiance to the King, as required under the territory’s Municipal Act. (Johnson cited “background history with (the) Crown and First Nations.”) At last report, city governance was therefore at a standstill . “We can’t do anything legally required of us under the Municipal Act ... so we are sort of, kind of council, and I’m sort of, kind of the mayor,” Johnson told The Canadian Press. He’s hoping the territorial government might amend the requirement, and perhaps it will. But why be so precious about it? It’s 2024, not 1924. They should just ignore the law, take their seats, and pass a motion declaring sections 171 and 172 of the Yukon Municipal Act null and void in Dawson City. What are those monarchist creeps down in Whitehorse going to do about it, send the Mounties after the Dawson City Five? If no one stepped up to challenge Quebec’s law in court, you can be pretty certain no one would step up to challenge Dawson City’s or any other jurisdiction that decides laws don’t apply to them. For years, it seemed like Ottawa just hoped the other provinces wouldn’t notice as it gave Quebec pretty much everything it wanted, with much (though certainly not universal) agreement from wise-owl Laurentian pundits. But the other provinces did notice. And Ottawa has no answer except that some members of the federation are more equal than others.
