RALEIGH -- Erik Cole traded smiles and jokes with Eric Staal and
Cam Ward on Thursday. Then he squirted water from a squeeze bottle
at Chad LaRose during a practice break, and gave defenseman Joe
Corvo a playful push along the boards.
"It doesn't really feel like he ever left," said Rod Brind'Amour,
the Carolina Hurricanes' captain.
Cole did leave the Canes -- albeit not for long. After 63 games
with the Edmonton Oilers this season, the forward was traded back
to Carolina on Wednesday and was on the ice Thursday morning for
the Hurricanes' practice at the RBC Center.
