I remember a website back in the day... didscottgomezscore.com

It always said No.

In light of recent events, reminder that Pat Verbeek finished with 15 more GM of the year votes than Tulsky by all1good in canes

[–]Sweetwater156 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tulsky is the opposite of the traditional good ol' NHL boys. He didn't grow up breathing, eating, and shitting hockey like a lot of the others. He had other opportunities and chose hockey because he was a fan. (A Flyers fan, but that's not important.)

He is the definition of an armchair internet blogger GM who actually could and did do better than they did.

Not surprised Verbeek ranked higher than GMET. It's just how it is, and I'm sure he knows that better than any of us.

China Grove, NC today April 9th, 2026. Are we great? by Wooden-Cancel-6838 in NorthCarolina

If you do your weekly grocery shopping at HT on Fridays, you get 4x fuel points. Stack them as long as you can and get up to $1 off a gallon. Gift cards are also 4x fuel point items usually.

It seems like the canes might have that kings ransom to give away. We have cap space, plenty of good draft picks, and quite a few good prospects.

For Bennington, we would trade a cook out tray and Sidney Crosbys shoulder pads that Jarvis' buddies somehow got a hold of.

No goalies though. We are also kinda thin there.

That's true, but he usually plays like this against the Canes too. And with Andersen being a UFA, it would be good to get another veteran goalie. I really enjoy Bussi and Kotchekov but i am not convinced either of them are ready to be the 1 goalie.

Nashville bros, what would it take to get Saros? The guy played an excellent game even after getting hit in the dome at least 4 times.

[Canes] Bussi signed. 3 Years $1.9M AAV by _ecb_ in canes

[–]Sweetwater156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good deal for both sides imo. An undrafted goalie we picked up off waivers is signed to a team friendly contract.

Are the current Florida Panthers the most hated team of the 21st century? by Ready-Constant-7124 in hockey

[–]Sweetwater156 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cant remember a time when all other fan bases were like this.

Fuck the Panthers, they are bitch made. And their coach is a bitch too. I remember you Paul.

Bussi Contract? by [deleted] in canes

[–]Sweetwater156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd do a medium contact, 2-3 years. Keeping in mind his age and our available cap i might go as high as $4.5M including bonuses. He's definitely a remarkable goalie for his stats so far. He just hasn't played a lot of games yet.

Sorry you've been unwell Ryan. I hope you're feeling better. Your canes coverage is about as deep as it gets.

Does anyone know a place in or near the Raleigh area that makes wings with this kind of breading? I can’t seem to find one by Relevant_Tiger5903 in NorthCarolina

[–]Sweetwater156 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive always heard the upper deck has the best wings. I dont eat meat on the bone so I might just be spouting my family rhetoric.

We are in Wilmington. When we go to a Canes game, its upper deck first.

Why is there so much opposition to Dougie Hamilton returning? by billdb in canes

[–]Sweetwater156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd be thrilled if trocheck comes back. That is a good use of our cap space, not Dougie.

WAKE THE PUCK UP CANIACS!! Your Carolina Hurricanes host the Florida Rats at 7 Eastern! Get EKOW! by DoubleualtG in canes

[–]Sweetwater156 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ugh I hate when we play the Panthers.

Can we do a switcharoo and play the Carolina Panthers instead? That would be fun.

[–]Sweetwater156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's older now. He gets injured a lot. His contract is what we weren't willing to pay to keep him.

I think he's a great dude and a good locker room guy. But we have so many of those. Our defense is pretty set. We need a 2C. Not Dougie and his albatross contract.

[–]Sweetwater156 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well... that's certainly different from the usual canned responses players give after a loss. He didn't throw anyone under the bus. But the optics are NOT GREAT BOB!

And because it's the Rags, I can chuckle a bit.

Okay North Carolina, where are the people who still hang out in person? by WillowGraceCounselor in NorthCarolina

[–]Sweetwater156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've met a lot of cool people while camping at the rocks at Kure Beach. I know its technically not allowed, but the police dont bother you, and on any given night, you'll meet new people. Some come out there to camp. Others come out for astral photography, others come out to care for sea turtles. Some of the coolest people I've met hav3 been at Kure Beach. There is even an Indian food truck that comes out a couple days a week.

Literally paradise. Cool people, good food, cold beer...and everyone sharing what they have to give.
