  1. Whatever the penalty minutes game record is for this session this game is challenging it
  2. My usual spot in the first rows of the upper deck tonight. Everything but the Stankoven goal has been at the other end of course
  3. Buffalo in recent years seems to turn things up a notch or three when it's far faaaaaaaar too late to make a difference. Reminds me of my Canes in our decade of darkness era from 2009-2018 in that regard.
  4. pretty wild that right now it's looking like the matchup in DC vs Carolina on the 10th has a real shot at being the game he gets the chance to break the record... and is Alexander Nikishin's NHL debut, the guy that's probably the most hyped Russian dman prospect since the Soviet Union was a thing.
  5. The biggest two things this search has told me are 1 - that the "insiders" for WVU know even less shit than they did 15 years ago during the re-alignment fiasco which is REALLY fucking saying something. And 2 - most in the fanbase couldn't tell you a damn thing outside of the P5 and a few select mid majors. But they're sure as hell going to overreact like they're experts on the subject matter.
  6. I'll give my guys in Charlotte some credit for finding a way to get things OTA, even if it's on a delay. Paywalling a league that is trying to grow its exposure is friggin stupid, especially when it's on a service that has quite limited scope to begin with. https://www.charlottefootballclub.com/news/charlotte-fc-matches-to-re-air-locally-on-tv64
  7. Much as I think Beard is a POS gotta say I'm pretty happy with this outcome.
  8. he shouldn't have, that year it should have been Mac 100%
  9. I'll be curious to see how long it keeps up but Hall has looked rejuvenated with Carolina so far after getting put on a line with Svechnikov.
  10. probably not, though they'll probably try to talk him down to 13 if possible. Canes have 30M projected to be open next season if the projections for next season are correct though without a ton needing to be signed/acquired if they retain Rants. Goalie, an RHD to replace Burns (who's been shit this year), and a couple 3rd-4th line holes. Easily doable with the 16M that would be left over.
  11. should, we have Orlov coming off the books this summer and are replacing him with Nikishin. With the cap going up we should be able to meet his contract demands. Also will be curious to see if he's still demanding as much to play with his pal Aho.
  12. also had Hurricanes-Lightning postponed earlier this year due to a hurricane. Pretty sure the trifecta this year would be Avs/Jets being postponed due to a snowstorm at whichever airport.
  13. These matchups always feel more like a knife fight than a basketball game. Even post-Huggins. At least the Jerry West era throwbacks looked good.
  14. short bench and foul trouble made things REAL interesting in Boulder yesterday but WVU held on. Small keeps playing himself into the PotY conversation.
  15. I still can't believe we actually won down 2 of our 3 best players AT KU.
  16. I think our current RB, Jahiem White, could thrive under his system in all honesty. Our biggest problem this past season was the defense and Rich ain't exactly a defensive guru.
  17. Money talks. Not the biggest fan of this move but if he can actually bring some excitement back to the program I'll be quick to forgive.
  18. I'd be pleasantly surprised if this is the case, not saying it's not but the last couple power conference OC to HC moves we made turned out pretty good for the program even if the last one was kindof a choad that looked like Big Ern McCracken Jimbo's semi-realistic. Saban is the usual idiots being purely delusional. Chadwell is already being paid like a (lower tier) power conference HC with a much easier path to the playoff, can't see the admin paying up what's needed for him to jump (north of 7 per IMO). It'll be close to another half decade before I show up at another home game if it's Odom. You don't fire Neal Brown just to replace him with essentially a carbon copy and hope the fans will put up with it. I've also heard Dan Mullen floated but don't think he'd make the jump, especially if Wisconsin opens up as expected, and obviously Rich Rod is out there but after the way he left, just no IMO.
  19. let's be real, this move should have been made 2 years ago. Nicest coach ever but guy just can't seem to cut it at the power conference level.
  20. The Boston duo and Rob Blake are probably the two biggest examples of this right now. Hell I'd argue what Blake did to the Kings in the middle of their rebuild is somehow worse since Boston has at least been good from a competitive standpoint for a while until seemingly this year.
  21. Sounds like Monty might be out, rumor is Sacco will be taking over.
  22. Caps have been impressing me so far this season TBH. So far it seems like this is the deepest team they've iced since 19, though we'll see how long the good version of PLD decides to keep coming to the rink.
  23. I may want to start betting on some of this shit (not really). Told my dad before the game it was going to be 4-2 Canes with Ovechkin putting one in, sure enough.
  24. Doesn't help that they're playing Carolina tonight, who's just stupid fast and somehow got faster this off-season, but it feels like collectively that they've lost a couple steps.
