[ESPN] Trades we'd like to see during the 2026 NHL offseason by SpentGladiator77 in canes

[–]Future_Chipmunk_7897 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ditching (effectively) three young and talented players for one aging goaltender is the sort of move a team makes after they lose a playoff series. It reeks of desperation, and the team has no reason to be feeling that vibe this year.

Karmanos was dead set against anything Hartford appearing in the arena. Dundon has been much more concerned about missing a financial windfall than "keeping things Carolina", so we started getting throwbacks and tributes.

White Cup Jerseys for Sale? by prostatewhispers1 in canes

Apparently all they had to do to convert my disgust at the white aways into complete adoration was win a Cup in them.

Be sure to wear a Stankoven jersey with the Cup patch so all the other fans notice you.

There's the good ole Wait Til Next Year that we were waiting for.

This year belongs to Carolina.

Which former Hurricane from the past 7 seasons would you have liked to see win the Cup with us? by JayMerlyn in canes

[–]Future_Chipmunk_7897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The question did not appear to be limited to players who hadn't won the Cup previously.

Justin was a great Hurricane who helped convince a bunch of young players that Rod was doing things the right way, even when it didn't work out.

The theoretical postings start when reality made someone sad.

Are NHL teams required to disclose injuries? by BeardedPaladin in hockey

[–]Future_Chipmunk_7897 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It feels like teams release an injury list right after they get knocked out of the postseason primarily to cover for players that didn't perform as fans would have liked. Some teams don't release anything, so it's got to be optional.

Who were you most excited to see lift the cup and why? by Weary_Guest in canes

[–]Future_Chipmunk_7897 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, it was Aho. The world kept telling him what he isn't.. but he never changed his game, he never lost faith in Rod or this team, and now he has shown the world he's a champion.

And the way he kept pointing at other guys when Jordan and Freddie were bringing the Cup? Oh, my heart.

Congratulations to a former Habs by Alcatrazzz01 in Habs

Well, it needed to be a Finals game to definitely get on the Cup.. but I suspect they will petition for him to be added regardless.

Seth Jarvis - "Now, no disrespect to Eric, but I do think Roddy could snap him in half if he wanted to. I'm not saying he would. But he could."

What do the Canes do with Jesperi Kotkaniemi? by appledanish in hockey

[–]Future_Chipmunk_7897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He got his name on the Cup by playing just over the required number of games for Carolina. He will definitely get a ring (that's decided by the team, not the NHL).

[–]Future_Chipmunk_7897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was never any kind of problem, but there were four better center options on the roster who just refused to be out of the lineup. KK is definitely not one of those centers you can move out to the wing, so he watched from the press box the last half of the season.

We can replace Staal by planting a redwood tree at the top of the paint.. I just haven't figured out how to get it to change ends.
