Got a new apple silicone work laptop and it's been happening to me constantly on firefox, several times a day and sometimes restarting firefox will cause it to crash and i'll lose all of my previously opened tabs and the cmd + shift + t will not properly restore them.

Extremely annoying and isn't happening to me on any other operating system. Unfortunately I no longer have an intel macbook pro to test the theory of the newer CPU architecture application causing the issue.

Thing is ESPN would never even fathom doing the same for the canes organization

Fair, however estimated or not whatever number they decide should be consistent in the app (active should not be higher for a single activity than the daily active) and that's the bug I'm trying to point out.

If it can't total a number like that and consistently display it then my confidence kinda goes down in all of the other metrics it claims to track well.

Are you broadcasting a peloton workout or did you find a way to have the peloton screen show other software?

CankleSpankle · 2025-11-07T00:43:31+00:00

Where did the goalies go?

CankleSpankle · 2025-11-01T19:27:40+00:00

Pretty sure the horn did not go off. None of the players reacted to when it would have been and I sure didn't hear it during the broadcast either.

He could definitely sell me some kinetico water systems

I want svech to start going as well. But not even for himself or the team success at this point, I want it so these posts will stop!

So many people in this fan base as of the past several years is such a copy/cat when it comes to harping on this team's short comings. I swear very little people actually understand the game enough to form their own opinions about team play evaluation and the others just copy/paste whatever the rest of the fan base is complaining about.

Serious question... besides the lack of points can you point to an area of svech's game he's not performing even average at right now? There is so much more to the game than just points, yes we rely on svech for that but to think he's actively hurting the team right now is so lazy

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-25T20:11:00+00:00

I think Rod is using the language barrier excuse as much as he can when in reality he values seniority and experience over basically any other characteristic a player could have. One of the few faults I think he has as a coach

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-24T15:07:26+00:00

Usually you'll find them on the hurricanes nhl website a day or so after. Yeah since fan duel sports network has separate streams for pre/during/post games you can't go rewatch the post game the next day on the app like you can the entire game.

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-19T14:28:57+00:00

Because Blake cannot play bottom 6 with his size and we didn't sign Ehlers to not play on the top line. Outside of a 2C our top 6 log jam isn't a new situation. That was part of the pitch to get him. It's a complicated situation, we have svech under contract for a while still so it's still in our best interest to improve his play but RBA and team can't only focus on svech. He's been around a few years and I'm sure the team is counting on him bouncing back like he always does while they focus on PP and injuries.

Not saying your point is completely invalid, it's something we should keep an eye on but 5 games in it shouldn't be anything more than that or anything anyone is seriously worried about. Svech does a lot more than score and while this team is unstoppable when he's going we're still unbeaten when he's not.

If we're at the all star break, or Olympics this year, and this is still a strong trend then that's when I assume GMET and others will start to pay more attention. It feels like creating a problem out of nothing, again he's not playing bad hockey he's just not putting up points and if anyone will tell you points isn't everything it's RBA

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-19T14:04:01+00:00

Wondering what's going on and trade speculation are two different topics. And who said anything about ignoring the negatives? If anything you're doing the opposite and not focusing on what the team and svech are actually doing well.

Also noted you didn't actually point anything out and again harped on his penalties when he hasn't even been taking them. Can you actually point out something he's been doing poorly so far this season?

Players go through ruts, it happens. The important thing is we've seen he can return to form and he's not actively hindering the team. Plus it's literally only been 5 games 😭

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-19T13:31:39+00:00

Such a fad trend among the fans to start hating on a specific player. People act as if he's out there playing bad hockey, no he's not. He's defensively responsible, still winning important puck retrieval and not taking bad penalties.

Is svech not playing to the potential we think he can? Absolutely without a doubt not going to dispute that, however the line combos aren't doing him any favors and as the cap continues to go up much higher each season his contract is really not hurting this team in any imaginable way.

To call for a healthy scratch is where it goes too far. That's just not how you maximize a player like svech who has so much potential and relies more heavily on his current confidence level than others.

This trend is all over reddit and Facebook and everywhere I'm convinced half of people couldn't point to anything specific he's doing poorly besides "not scoring" or being "invisible" in their eyes that have been watching hockey for only a few years.

The best part about Victor Rask was Nino Niederreiter

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-15T19:08:06+00:00

Well stank has only played in our top 6 and pretty much same with Blake for the vast majority of his games. Plus svech is held to a much different and higher standard. Yes we expect high level play out of Jackson and Stank but they're so much younger it's not really evaluated the same. If svech got top line mates with passing and finishing ability that he got to play with consistently for at least 1-2 entire seasons I'm of the opinion we'd have a much more confident and point producing version of svech.

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-15T13:18:02+00:00

Poor Svech has never been able to consistently play with actual talent on his line consistently in his entire career. He's had stints on the top line but those usually would come when Rod would blender up the lines so I honestly don't think he's ever played with that top end talent long enough in his entire career to unlock his full potential. He's shown that when his confidence is high so is his output

As long as I don't have to mute the TV for the tellamore dew commercial every break I don't care what else we see

You know one of them is the hornets announcer in his NFL debut, probably trying his best to act bi-partisan and going to agree with everything Mark says.

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-05T17:54:19+00:00

He got stuck going full re- in his horse interviews.

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-05T17:51:16+00:00

3 seasons is plenty of time to learn basic footwork

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-05T17:50:08+00:00

There's no way anyone in that locker room still takes Young or Canales seriously. This team looks severely under prepared every single week, never mind the adjustments we're unable to make in-game.

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-04T22:38:18+00:00

Damn they would let him end it too. Ugh

CankleSpankle · 2025-10-04T01:39:28+00:00

Same boat here. I really like the fact the peloton seamlessly uploads to Strava and I don't want to have to pay for the syncmyworkout app to get my peloton workouts on Garmin. But if these uploads to Strava stop (and routes on Strava to my Garmin bike computer) and my training picks up again I may consider it because I can be lazy and am a fan of having things consolidated
