  1. He backstopped us to our first conference title. If you aren’t familiar with Irbe, you might need to read up a bit on Canes history.

  2. Not just him either. There were literally dozens of players who played for the Canes during this time period, if you can believe that

  3. Saw many many Irbe saves. His pads looked like he picked them up in a thrift store. He used to repair them himself on the plane between games. He tried new pads one home game and couldn’t catch a cold. A true legend!

  4. A good friend of mine somehow became Twitter buddies with Irbe years ago, he’d show me their conversations and the guy is absolutely hilarious. Totally changed how I think of one of my favorite childhood goalies.

  5. Irbe knocked me over while I was running around the ice house at a practice as a kid. Canon for me.

  6. Wait til I tell you who NHL television analyst Kevin Weekes played for from 2002-2004

  7. He in fact did play for the Hurricanes. I used to go to school with his daughter

  8. Yes he did, he was my favorite goalie as a kid. He signed a t-shirt of mine. I had a goalie book my mom got from B&N back in the day and I used to cut out pictures of Irbe, I played goalie when I was a kid, Irbe and Hasek were my goaltending idols.
