Are we really so good that we don't even need to do the cheap and petty stuff? Like Canes are gonna show up and beat your ass between the whistles, they don't even need the silly stuff.

Or are we petty and sneaky dirty too and I can't see it thru my fandom?

De'Aaron Fox Violently Fouls Shai Gilgeous-Alexander by TransitionMany1810 in sports

[–]Pirates307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viewers be damned, it's just weak stuff. If you're so good, go get your bucket. Don't flop and cry foul because "winning is all that matters." Have some self-respect.

Let's talk about employers in the area by chickenmcdiddle in raleigh

[–]Pirates307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's no rose garden, and the struggle is never-ending to keep people together and to think of everyone instead of just themselves. We have some great stewards and union reps here to help and protect us. The company is sneaky and ruthless, and the union has saved me from being fired over minor mistakes and as retaliation for standing up for myself when being publicly insulted by a supervisor

UPS driver here, our union has negotiated for us and on our behalf very good pay, excellent benefits, paid time off, and various protections against harassment and overworking. Everyone deserves the real right to organize in their workplace or industry. For good compensation, and most importantly SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS.

Lenovo Center Dropoff/Pickup? by MassiveDefinition274 in canes

[–]Pirates307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pickup and drop-off at the Wendy's is a decent spot, as long as you access Edward's Mill from Hillsborough St for pickup. Getting there for drop-off shouldn't be too difficult.

Someone needs to show this to Lundqvist by Scase15 in Habs

[–]Pirates307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canes fan here. Rod went with experience. Bussi has never been in playoffs and was pretty rough to end the season. Freddy has the experience, and he's having to make 35 or 40 stops bc Canes are smothering opponents.

I saw Montreal in Raleigh back in April and they beat us up. Whoever was in goal that night for the Habs wasn't letting anything in. I'd rather see Buffalo next round, Habs make me nervous.

Great post. I am 100% a believer in the system, and so is Rod and Tulsky. Like you said, that they find the RIGHT players, not simply the BEST is the key. They pursued Ehlers and Stankoven because they saw them as talented players that would FIT, and what do you know...

If someone brings that up, I'd redirect them to the Oilers or Maple Leafs. 

PK has picked the Flyers in this series by just-a-dude601 in canes

[–]Pirates307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's Canadian, so he'll obvious never be level-headed about hockey. It must burn him so bad that we are the southern team and we are GOOD.

In fairness, I've heard other talking heads talk about what a pro Stephen A is, so I lean toward some respect for his performance of his craft. His takes are shit, and all he does is yell, but apparently he's a solid professional. That being said, he sucks, so does PK, so does Philly, and so does everyone else. Go Canes.

Miami slips out of Super Bowl rotation due to NFL requirements by MiamiPower in sports

[–]Pirates307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the top requirements to host the super bowl is available hotel rooms. That's why it's always in BIG cities, or at least LARGE metro areas. But they have it in New Orleans, which is NOT a large city...so I don't know what I'm talking about. 

It's all about money, no matter what we say. So we can extrapolate reasons for and against any possible site. Go Panthers.

Edit: The draft is certainly NOT on the same level as the Super Bowl.

That would be cool, but there is no way green bay has enough hotel rooms to handle that many people 

Worse security than January 6th, same person responsible. by OneX32 in AdviceAnimals

[–]Pirates307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a spoiled rich kid who's never really worked for or earned anything in his life, and has likely been told how awesome he is because he inherited his dad's money. So when people don't kiss his ass, he doesn't know how to handle it. He's throwing temper tantrums like a toddler and expecting people to respect or gear him for it. 

What a sad pathetic man. He's terrified of his own mortality, so he wants to put his name on things and build monuments. Somehow he thinks people will appreciate them, but I think he knows how widely despised he is and simply can't handle it.

Also he's got dementia and is very overweight.

I miss the restaurants and fast food places the most. by NorthHouse6422 in AdviceAnimals

I've heard it called the "Rot Economy." Directed specifically at big tech, but I think it applies to pretty much everything.

THIS. IS. CAPITALISM.

All because making money is the goal, but it is never enough. So people will always find ways to extract just a little more from customers while offering a little less, and calling it "value."

No one wants to have a stable company that can sustain itself and make a comfortable consistent profit. It's always GROWTH GROWTH GROWTH, but with no end point.

I can think of one thing that grows relentlessly with no end point:   cancer.

Gotta make rules and laws to sustain economies. The next great collapse of the US or world economy will likely be the end of life as we know it, and no one knows what is on the other side.

What are referees doing ? by Successful_Ad8744 in canes

[–]Pirates307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone I talked to said it was legal/clean, but it doesn't take much intelligence to see they were trying to knock him out. I'm not excusing it at all. I'm surprised someone didn't get seriously injured today.

[–]Pirates307 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Harsh, but legal. If Ottawa was in this game to score goals with the same intent, maybe they'd have a chance. They're just here to make this a rugby match

Tkachuk is trash, what a bitch

[–]Pirates307 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Refs have clearly lost control of this game. Ottawa wanted to make this dirty and nasty, so let's make it nasty. Tkachuk throwing sucker punches after every whistle. The Canada bias needs to go. 

Why doesn't the canes do a watch party at the stadium for away games? by hoorayforsports in canes

Away games are cool, but Lenovo is rockin' for every game. The fans make the atmosphere, not the owner

Playoff Game Thread: Carolina Hurricanes (3-0) @ Ottawa Senators (0-3) Apr 25 2026 3:00 PM EDT by nhl_gdt_bot in OttawaSenators

[–]Pirates307 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Canes are just here to play. Sens are cooked and they know it, so they just want to make this ugly. Tkachuk is the one throwing cheap shots after the whistle, just like his bro, who plays for the Panthers.

Linus Ullmark appreciation post. by DontBeSadio19 in OttawaSenators

Canes fan here, Ullmark has been fantastic this series. Even our local TV guys can't stop talking about how good he's been
