Discussion about whether Freddie Andersen will be a worthy Bussi back-up for the stretch run and playoffs comes up in a lot of our threads, so I thought I would do a deep dive into Freddie's numbers to inform the discussion. You don't need stats to conclude that Freddie has had some awful runs...
The World Juniors get started today in Minnesota. The US has its opening game against Germany at 6PM.
Here’s the full schedule…

Andy traveled to the West Coast, and I’m assuming it’s too early for him to put up today’s game thread.
The Canes, fresh off an uneven but ultimately successful performance in Winnipeg, finish the four game roadie with an afternoon tilt in Buffalo. It’s hard to believe, but this will be Andrei...
Mods, I hope you don't mind that I jumped the gun by a day, but I didn't think this belonged in the Miscellaneous Thread from last season. Feel free to pin if you agree.
The Canes dropped their hype video for the season...and the theme this season is #CarolinaCulture. Not exactly the rallying...
Seems worthy of its own thread...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a predicition: the Canes will sign Freddie Andersen to a two-year extension at an AAV of between $3 and $4 million in the offseason to be Pyotr Kochetkov's backup . This will happen because (a) the free agent goalie pool, as demonstrated from the list...
This didn't seem to fit into the training camp thread or the summer reset thread, so screw it--the board isn't too cluttered this time of year!--I started a new thread.
The new official cocktail of the Lenovo Center is the "Hurricane" from End of Days Distillery in Wilmington. The distillery...
The Canes have announced a new program for booking ticket-inclusive travel packages for home and away games...

This one seems worthy of its own thread. The AAV is very reasonable...seems like good business to me, especially with Morrow and Nikishin in the pipeline.
I’m hoping this isn’t paywalled, and I probably could have thrown this in at least one of three existing threads, but I thought it could create some interesting discussion during the break…

I’m on day two in bed with what is probably the flu and won’t be to use my tickets for Saturday night’s game against the Sabres. They’re posted on the Ticket Exchange, but I’d rather sell them to someone here for my cost.
I have to seats in 127, row X about 20 rows up directly behind the net...
Not sure where the usually reliable Andy is, so I'll get a GDT going here (and hoping one of the mods can pin this thread).
After a weak effort last night in Sunrise, the Canes try to take the second half of their back-to-back games in Florida when they face the Lightning at 7:00 PM. No word...
I have posted these on the ticket exchange in anticipation of a small profit, but if anyone here is interested in three tickets in section 127 and a premier parking pass I can't use for Wednesday night's game, I would be happy to sell them at exactly my cost. (These were purchased in addition to...
