No. 1200 for Roddy

i just love an excuse to use that picture...beating the thrashers last night Rod Brind'Amour racked up 4 points in his 1200th career game (bringing his career pt total up to 999!) and i'm hoping that after a slow start the 'canes have righted the ship...last night at least it was mainly due to the efforts of Cam Ward, who stopped 40 shots as carolina was out-shot by a wide margin but still managed to win fairly easily compared to the last two meetings with atlanta, which were quite tight...i turned the game off after brind'amour's empty-netter with a minute and a half left, apparently there were some fisticuffs after that. beginning to wrap my brain around hockey again...
