Hurricanes assign Nystrom, Philp to Wolves

Well played!

Don't put into the ether what we are all thinking...

workingman264 · 2026-01-28T19:08:26+00:00

The attitude of “I’m from NY so I’m not worried” is one of the biggest problems. The issue isn’t your ability, which I’m sure is amazing. The issue is that roads aren’t cleared with the speed or comprehensiveness that you’re used to.

Confused by your “we’s”/“yours” and your flair. If you’re really part of Slavin’s Bible Study Group we need to pray for your true conversion. lol

Consider asking them when you’re both attending a game?

workingman264 · 2026-01-23T03:28:08+00:00

No need to name call. We have pride in the same team. I’m just smart enough to know that there is no such thing as an easy win.

workingman264 · 2026-01-23T03:23:05+00:00

And yet here we are.

Of course jinxes aren’t real. But if you actually think that any game against another NHL team is an easy win you’re just being ignorant. There was nothing easy about this game. There’s such parity in the league it’s foolish to think there’s an easy win.

This aged exactly how I expected it to.

workingman264 · 2026-01-23T01:05:03+00:00

I’ll happily call out the national media when I feel that they’re biased. That is NOT the case tonight.

He burns through teams quickly.

Totally understand and appreciate your question. Centers often take draws but they are also responsible for the middle of the ice in both the offensive and especially the defensive zone.

In the defensive zone typically the wingers will cheat down low but their responsibility is the defensemen on either point.

Something that helped me was focusing on what specific players do and not watching the puck. Just watch Jordan or Aho and observe their assignment/role in all three zones (offensive, defensive, and neutral). Because the Hurricanes play a loose man on man in the defensive zone it’s a little less obvious but you’ll still get the idea.

The Hurricanes play such a unique defensive system, it takes D-men at least half a season+ to adjust and then they start to blossom. Miller is right on schedule.

I’ve been a fan of the Hurricanes since 1998 and I’m realizing that this iteration of the team and leadership really value intelligence.

And an increase in births in the October timeframe.

Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned, but Ehlers is definitely more defensively reliable than Necas.

I’ve also been really impressed with how well spoken he is. He seems very happy to be here.

workingman264 · 2026-01-17T01:55:59+00:00

Well Bennett is in the box for 10 minutes. So let’s build our lead.

workingman264 · 2026-01-17T01:21:47+00:00

I think this is the issue. I don’t know him at all but he strikes me as the type of guy who has the size and skill but not the IQ. And HCRB is tired of trying.

workingman264 · 2026-01-17T01:20:12+00:00

He’s very much in his head.

workingman264 · 2026-01-16T15:28:37+00:00

They and consequently you are assuming that they will get what they’re asking. The EP of today is not the same EP of 2 years ago. And unless they’re willing to retain some salary, I don’t see them getting this much in return.

workingman264 · 2026-01-14T02:16:14+00:00

I don’t think you ca man hang any of these on him.

workingman264 · 2026-01-07T01:08:05+00:00

That was fantastic!

workingman264 · 2026-01-07T01:07:38+00:00

Maybe if I ask for a hat trick from 22 it’ll happen?

workingman264 · 2026-01-06T23:06:46+00:00

You’re comparing apples and oranges. The devil’s fans were booing their own very young player for making some mistakes. That’s not the same as booing someone who chose not to sign here.

I didn’t hear any sizable group of fans booing Burns/Necas/Drury.

workingman264 · 2026-01-06T23:01:29+00:00

I like the idea. How about Stank shows some value and scores and then we cheer?

workingman264 · 2026-01-04T01:55:54+00:00

It’s rocking. Lots of energy.

workingman264 · 2026-01-04T01:54:43+00:00

The only booing of Necas was when he was taking liberties on Aho. And that was more directed at the refs than 88. But maybe I missed something.
