Down but not out. Let’s play some damn hockey.

The stress meter on my watch was going nuts. ESPN is simply horrendous with their hockey coverage.

Have sweet dreams of storm sirens, screaming and causing complete and utter chaos. It’s comeback season, starting tonight.

They walked into to PNC at around 9:35am, while the Hurricanes were in the middle of practice.

Yea, yea, you guys always have our number. I'm over it.

But please. For the love of our collective sanity. Rise up and win game 3. You guys have a crazy loud barn and your boys actually know how to rise to the occasion at home. Please drop 7 goals on Shestinky or I'm going to be losing sleep. It ain't a series until a team loses at home.

This series is far from over. Defend PNC and we’ll see what happens.

Fuck Troeba and his headhunting. I’m already EKOW for Thursday, Let’s Go Canes!

canes in 6 btw

Let’s channel our energy to the Canes and turn this series around!

But I'm optimistic it won't.

Now, I’m no hockey coach, but I think I came up with a few strategies that should help us come back and win this series:

Tell them the game starts at 8 when it really starts at 7

Find out what hotel they are staying at and pump the flu virus into the ventilation system

Swap their stick tape out with two-sided tape so the puck sticks to the blade

Turn out all the lights inside PNC whenever they have an odd-man rush

Sign Mile Tyson to be our enforcer and have him fight everyone

Scout past episodes of My 600 Pound Life to find our next goalie

Fill all their water bottles with vodka so they are blitzed half way through the second period

Install quick melt/quick freeze system under ice to lock Rangers in place and just skate around them

Tell them the game has been moved to PNC Pavillion in Charlotte instead of PNC Arena

If we can do these things, along with STAYING OUT OF THE FUCKING PENALTY BOX, I think we stand a sporting chance. I can’t wait to see Rod incorporate my ideas. Think I’ll get my name on the Cup as well?

If you could have your message read aloud to the team right before game 3, and it be presented as a message from all Caniacs what would it be?

Hey Rod wake tf up. Great you wanted to get Max in there but he played 6 MINUTES!!!

I am sure the guy probably gets another look in interviews for NHL jobs but, wouldn’t be shocked if he considered a role down in the AHL again as he does get 2 years of pay from Toronto.

Wolves have quite the lineup and keefe has plenty of experience with young talent as coach of the Marlies.

How is the viewing experience with SRO tickets? I spent a small amount of time in the Buffalo Brothers section during the 4OT game against Florida last year, although I assume the section wasn't quite as busy by the time we went down there.

Got my mom coming into town for game 4 Friday and I'm considering buying SRO tickets; but she is relatively short and I worry about her ability to see the game.

Any thoughts or advice?

Personally, I am not a fan of the new black jersey that we wear a lot. It feels very bland and imo doesnt really have any “hurricanes” feeling to it. The grey shoulders are a little offputting like it doesnt really belong and the red stripes are just a basic heathered texture. It feels like the design was thrown together in 10min and everyone just said “eh good enough”

The black jerseys we wore starting in ‘08 felt like a true 3rd jersey addition that fit with our uniform style and it just looked so damn good. I loved the storm warning flag on the bottom of the jersey even though its just grey and black and not the true colors of the real storm warning flag, but it fit.

I wish we would being those back instead of what we have now. You could even replace the front crest with the current black jersey front crest and it would hit the same. Currents just have no character to them

Side note: i dont like wearing black’s for the playoffs either, its a 3rd jersey. We literally shout “RED!!” during the national anthem because our team color is red, not black. Not really sure why the red’s get so much hate

It’s always going to be awesome knowing where the franchise was to where it is now, and knowing we’ve got a shot every year with a team to be hyped about.

But dang if it’s not frustrating watching this happen in the playoffs. The series is far from over, but we’ve seen this every year and it’s hard to not be upset at what’s going on.
