I come before you today, Dear Caniacs, to repent my former sins against Mr. Cam Ward and ask for his forgiveness. At the time I was taking my frustrations over weak team performances out on him, and exaggerating any bad games he had into the main reason the Hurricanes weren’t contending.
Over those many seasons I just hadn’t taken the time to look at his numbers more closely. Now, as a writer covering the Hurricanes, I am here to make the case to General Manager Ron Francis that he should re-sign Cam Ward as a Carolina Hurricane when his contract is up this week.
