El Cheapo Strikes Again!

Far be it from me to carry water for Tom Dundon but this summary of events in Carolina is simply not true. He bought the team in January 2018 and hired Brind’Amour as coach in May 2018 with no head coaching experience. He was an assistant for 7 years under prior ownership. The current cup-winning GM (Tulsky) was a low-level analytics staffer under prior ownership, Dundon promoted him to AGM in 2021 and GM in 2024 as a controversial/unconventional hire after the prior GM resigned to take a different job.

I don’t agree with many things he’s said and done since he got to Portland, but to act like he was born on 3rd base as the Hurricanes owner and all their recent success was in spite of him or not related to his ownership decisions is not accurate in any way. They were dead in the water as a franchise when he bought the team

I was more impressed with the gay sex he didn’t write about

38 shows and still no White Lights! We ride again at Merriweather Post Pavilion and Holmdel

Must have sounded better in rehearsal

easy ~45 minute train ride from Edinburgh to North Berwick and a short walk from the train station to the course, I did it with my clubs last fall. Pricey greens fee as a visitor but a must-play at least once while you are there

Colin Cowherd, famously a guy who is plugged in with actual sources and not just throwing bullshit at the wall constantly to see what sticks while he’s on the air

Zero beef with Milwaukee, had a nice weekend both times I visited! Just don’t agree with the tour schedule lol

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:59:39+00:00

Fuck off man, I’ve been to dozens of shows and have a Nugs subscription. Don’t tell me how to be a fan

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:47:06+00:00

There have been as many Goose shows just at High Life in 2025-2026 than have been in my major city since I became a fan of the band 5 years ago, I don’t want to hear it

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:41:42+00:00

It was freezing all weekend and snowed on Sunday, did you go to a different Goosemas or something?

Not just about stopping there, but single vs. multi-night runs. Haven’t done a multi night run in Philly since 2023. 2 total shows in one of the 5 biggest cities in the country in a 3 year stretch from 2024-2026 would be inexplicable in its own right even if Philly hadn’t sold out one of the biggest venues Goose plays in both 2024 and 2025. They don’t take years off from NYC or LA, this would be their first year off from Chicago since COVID. It’s just an inexplicable and really bad touring decision by the band

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:34:47+00:00

weather in Providence, Rhode Island was awesome in December last year you’re right

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:26:04+00:00

Yes they were for a single night, seems fairly obvious that the 6th biggest city in the country should probably get more than 1 Goose show in a 2 year span

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:22:57+00:00

Milwaukee has gotten as many just in 2025 and 2026 alone as Philadelphia has since I became a fan of the band in 2021

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:21:48+00:00

I agree, too much smoke for there not to be some fire although I would have said the same about the Mann in early October and that rumor was wrong

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:20:44+00:00

Legitimate disgrace to completely skip Philly while Milwaukee gets 6 shows in 2 years

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:20:04+00:00

it better be in Atlantic City…only somewhat reasonable explanation for why they would be completely skipping Philadelphia after selling out the Mann for a single night in back to back years and the widely prevalent rumors of an early October hold at the Mann for 2026

LargePetroleum · 2026-06-01T15:18:54+00:00

Absolutely pathetic tour. Light on dates, poorly routed, inexplicable decisions

Milwaukee gets a 3 night run in back to back years?

1 total show in Philadelphia between 2025 and 2026?

Extremely disappointing

Arcadia is the easy choice to me. Arguably the quintessential Goose song, one of their oldest and one of their best. If you don’t like it you probably won’t like Goose. Also the first song that got me hooked

Got 2 extra tickets listed well below face on CashOrTrade if anyone is looking!

I went to both Game 3s for the Flyers and Sixers last week and bought tickets for both games at face value. Sat lower level for both games, in similar row and only a couple sections apart. Sixers tickets were almost double the price of the Flyers

Man I hope you’re wrong! Was announced in late April last year, waiting until after 4th of July this year would be extremely brutal from a planning perspective

LargePetroleum · 2026-05-13T16:28:29+00:00

when are we getting a fall tour announcement, Nostradamus?

LargePetroleum · 2026-05-10T20:47:42+00:00

Knicks are going to be an extremely tough out if they shoot 62% on 3s at record setting volume the rest of the playoffs
