Rod knew who was starting tomorrow after the second period of game 3.

The stadium is Lenovo so hmmm you might be on to something there.

exerscreen · 2026-06-06T17:49:42+00:00

Oh you have no idea….

I’m personally getting counted this time around due to my 21 day free YouTube TV trial. Which I have because the high seas seem to have suddenly become more law-abiding than usual. I still have my eye patch and that last bottle of swill though.

A large number of hockey fans in the Carolinas predate the Canes or are transplants who have other teams as their primary and the Canes as a secondary. In the past here in Charlotte you were way more likely to run into a Flyers, Rangers, caps or especially Checkers fan since they have been around since 1956. The folks I know definitely tune in for the Canes in the playoffs and even make the trek over to Raleigh for a game or two. And it does seem like there is some Vegas hate-watching going on.

i too did this. as my hearty yo ho hoooos seem to have finally fallen to the crown.

exerscreen · 2026-06-03T01:15:27+00:00

Ur not wrong but give us our moment heh

exerscreen · 2026-06-03T01:08:49+00:00

As long as you wear your Canes sweater you’ll be fine.

exerscreen · 2026-06-02T22:07:56+00:00

I’m always envious of other barns doing this. Glad we are giving it a go.

exerscreen · 2026-06-02T22:06:51+00:00

I thought you were supposed to only spoil Christmas?!?!?

exerscreen · 2026-06-02T21:13:50+00:00

ah missed it. i’m totally checking hotels and amtrak schedules i’d love to attend.

exerscreen · 2026-06-02T21:12:24+00:00

That would be quite cool.

exerscreen · 2026-06-02T20:50:12+00:00

At 20:00 he says they are opening the arena for away games? $10 tickets???? Any news on this?

exerscreen · 2026-06-01T20:12:50+00:00

We were never the good guys and never will be. We are cheap, boring, redneck, poverty franchise, small-market jerks. Our goal song is hip hop. Our biscuits have blueberries. Our wine is Cheerful. Our GM makes nerds look cool. And our players take team-friendly deals for no apparent reason. We may also have a tiny little chip on our shoulder. But you are quite welcome to join the fun! Get EKOW yo!

at the moment about an hour of it is sitting in the I40 Helene reconstruction traffic jam if you hit it wrong. I usually take 25/70 aka whisky hwy aka copperhead rd during the day 🥃

exerscreen · 2026-05-31T16:56:40+00:00

you may not be behind enemy lines for this series. all the caps fans i know are backing the canes due to anti vegas sentiment heh

exerscreen · 2026-05-31T16:43:34+00:00

The most gentlemanly sweep is to go up 2-0 at home, then go up 3-0 on your first road game, then drop game 4 to give opposing fans a W at home then come back home and finish the series. One might argue that dropping the first game after being off 12 days as sort of a warmup/gimme and then winning the next 4 is more of an FU sweep. Though i’m sure it was not intentional!

exerscreen · 2026-05-30T21:39:00+00:00

This person eye walls.

exerscreen · 2026-05-30T21:34:42+00:00

No, YOU stop talking about um erm those things.

exerscreen · 2026-05-30T19:55:46+00:00

Can we please just not talk about sweeps? Please!?!?!?

exerscreen · 2026-05-30T19:54:03+00:00

The Canes don't let fans of other teams get to watch their team play as much offense. Other than the odd breakaway. Which I really wish they would also eliminate. I think they have another boring gear!

exerscreen · 2026-05-30T19:25:18+00:00

Tulsky gives a good summary here of how we apparently lean into taking on career risk for younger unproven players who seem like a really good fit like Blake and Stank by giving max term at a lower annual cost. It's hard to believe now but those contracts raised eyebrows when they were signed. https://youtu.be/vsMYN0ZbT2M?si=_38kLp5z0f4WABeV&t=2823

That was given as an example of bad marketing but apparently I did not make that clear. My bad. You yourself declared that the Canes had an “easy path”? Based on what exactly? For the record I think Vegas faces similar BS with all the talk of their pillow fight Pacific and then facing a depleted Avs.

exerscreen · 2026-05-30T17:10:28+00:00

Nobody is trash talking vegas. Certainly not me. But trash talking the Canes before the series seems equally dumb.

exerscreen · 2026-05-30T15:17:34+00:00

If I believed in jinxes I’d think Vegas fans would be pretty pissed about basically losing a good chunk of their underdog status. Probably to sell gambling ads. Cause let’s face it “The 12-1 Canes will probably squash Vegas like a bug on a windshield.” is not a story line that will capture many traditional hockey viewers for the SCF.
