| |  | VANCOUVER:
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Like it or not, there is a new culture in Vancouver.
Whether the new atmosphere surrounding the Canucks leads the franchise to its long-awaited first Stanley Cup championship remains to be seen.
But coach John Tortorella is sure going to try.
Following five division championships, two Presidents trophies, for the league's most points, and a Stanley Cup finals appearance in seven years under Alain Vigneault, Vancouver brass determined the Canucks needed a tougher voice. So Vigneault, the franchise leader in wins, was fired May 22 and replaced by John Tortorella, himself fired by the New York Rangers May 29.
Tortorella comes with an edge - he can be hard on the media, and often calls out his players in press conferences - but he wins, and that's what Vancouver needs. He won a Stanley Cup in 2004 behind Tampa Bay's bench, and took the Rangers to the Eastern Conference finals in 2012. | | CAROLINA: RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Hurricanes could have an easier time filling their arena this season - and a tougher time getting back to the playoffs.
The NHL's realignment meant the end of the Southeast Division and placed the Hurricanes into the new Metropolitan Division.
A division packed with some of the league's most popular teams - Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, both New York teams, New Jersey and Washington - might lead to bigger crowds.
But it also figures to make ending their irksome postseason drought a much bigger challenge.
``It's going to be tough. It's a good division,'' defenseman Justin Faulk said. ``Obviously, there's a lot of teams that are pretty good. ... But we're looking forward to it. Every team's good in the league.
``I don't think you go into any game thinking you can just win every game,'' he added. ``Every night, anyone can win, and I think we're pretty confident with the group that we have in here to do a pretty good job.''
Since winning its only Stanley Cup in 2006, Carolina has reached the playoffs just once, in 2009. Among teams in the current configuration of the Eastern Conference, only Toronto and Columbus have not made the postseason since then.
That hasn't exactly been easy for the players to digest, goalie Cam Ward said.
``You can already sense the attitude. ... Guys are hungry and excited to get things going,'' Ward said. |

*Canucks-Hurricanes Preview* ============================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Vancouver (13-9-5) at Carolina (10-11-5), 1:00 p.m. EDT
Recent struggles may have the Vancouver Canucks and Carolina Hurricanes looking forward to a new month.
Only one of them, however, will get December off to a positive start.
The Canucks will try to win for just the third time in 11 tries Sunday when they continue a four-game road trip against the Hurricanes.
Vancouver (13-10-5) went 4-5-4 in November, capping it with Sunday's 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers in coach John Tortorella's first meeting with the team that fired him last summer.
"Once the game starts, it's about playing and trying to find a way to get a win," Tortorella told the team's official website. "That's my job, to try to get some traction with this hockey club. Once that starts, it's just, 'Let's go.'"
Consistent scoring could solve Vancouver's woes. The team is averaging 2.61 goals on the season, and 2.2 over the last 10 games while scoring more than two only twice during that stretch.
The Canucks may get some sympathy from the Hurricanes (10-11-5), who are 29th in the NHL with 2.08 goals per game. They also concluded a 6-6-2 November with a defeat, allowing four third-period goals in a 5-2 home loss to New Jersey on Friday.
The Hurricanes haven't managed more than back-to-back wins at any point this season, and that lack of consistency is a major concern for coach Kirk Muller.
"If anything, we just have to learn that if you want to be better than a .500 team, you have to be good all the time," Muller told the team's official website. "You get out of it what you put in."
Eric Staal, the team leader with six goals and 18 points, looks to get back to doing his part after being held without a point Friday. The center had nine points during a season-high seven-game streak.
"Eric's really picked up his pace. His pace is quicker now. He's going more direct. He's faster, he's angrier and he's got his confidence again," Muller said. "When he's going like that, now he looks like a power forward who's tough to contain."
That hasn't been the case in his last two meetings with the Canucks, as Staal hasn't managed a point. However, he had six over the previous five matchups.
It's unclear if the Canucks will turn to Roberto Luongo in net after he was pulled 17 seconds into the second period Sunday for giving up three goals on 10 shots.
"It's always hard to either get pulled or to give up a lot of goals," said Luongo, who was making his season-high eighth straight start. "I've just got to be better and try to come up with more saves."
He hasn't done much of that in his career at Carolina, going 1-10-0 with two ties and a 2.76 goals-against average in 13 games.
That may be enough for Tortorella to start rookie Eddie Lack, who stopped 12 of 14 shots in relief of Luongo on Sunday. The Swede is 2-2-0 with a 2.49 GAA in six games - four starts.
Daniel Sedin has been an offensive bright spot for the Canucks, tallying three goals and five assists during a five-game point streak after enduring a six-game drought. The left wing has a point in seven of nine career games against the Hurricanes, including three of four at PNC Arena.
Vancouver has dropped three straight in Carolina since a 3-2 victory on Nov. 27, 2002.
