I said I was going to wait, but I’ve got stuff to do later on and I figured I’d get this pinned. So, the Canes won the Cup, as you might recall. As we enter the summer, they have exactly two open contract slots from the current roster. Freddie Andersen is out of contract entirely and Alexander...

Look, we can’t just keep posting in the qualifying thread, even if FIFA did stretch qualifying out until mere weeks ahead of the tournament. So, here … Also, don’t expect a lot of engagement from me. There apparently is a point where crass commercialism ruins my enjoyment of sport, and it’s...

This is a quick placeholder for now, but we can fill in the gaps later. Series Schedule … all games on ESPN/ABC and all games start at 8PM Eastern Game 1, Raleigh, Tuesday June 2 Game 2, Raleigh, Thursday June 4 Game 3, Las Vegas, Saturday June 6 Game 4, Las Vegas, Tuesday June 9 *Game 5...

We have a schedule, we have game times (mostly), we have TV info, those of us with tickets have access to Games 1 and 2 … and we finally have an opponent. Montreal … come on down. Literally. It’s freaking hot here in the South and drier than your great uncle’s scalp. It’ll be grand, don’t worry...

Hey, this concept is on a roll. So, the Flyers finally put the Pens out of their misery last night in one of the most excruciatingly boring games I think I've ever watched. A completely deserved 0-0 in regulation turned into a hero turn for Cam York, a man who knows a thing or two about...

… since we’ve got nothing else going on and no schedule to mull over. So, the Sens. A fresh playoff opponent for round one for a change, and one from outside of the Metro which is yet another kink in Bettman’s weird playoff format fetish. Technically the winner of the Metro is the team that...

Andy appears to be busy, so you get the sub. Carolina starts a two game set with the Blue Jackets tonight in Columbus. The Blue Jackets are fighting for their playoff lives, currently sitting in WC2 with 88 points through 74 games. They’re being chased by the Sens and Red Wings both of whom...

So … do the Canes leave Vancouver with a very tall, very expensive Swedish center? Do they leave BC with a W? Is Andersen getting out of order starts as some sort of showcase? These questions and more will be answered on this episode of Canes After Dark. Look. Vancouver is bad and is mired in...

Carolina warms up the plane for a 4 game roadie, starting tonight in Seattle with a tilt against the Kraken. Seattle is sitting in the last Western wildcard slot in what might be the top heaviest Conference in recent memory. They’re 3 points clear of the reanimated Sharks and the weirdly...

To all who participate on the board, whether regular poster or regular lurker, I wish all of you a safe and healthy end to 2025 and beginning to 2026. This has been a bit of a weird one in Hurricanesville, but you can’t say it wasn’t an interesting ride. May 2026 bring more stuff to talk about...

Last game before the Christmas break, with the roster freeze already in place. Carolina hosts the defending Champs in a rematch of a ... umm ... memorable game on Friday night. You know the details, because this is about as familiar an opponent as you could ask for. Canes update ... they've...

There's a lot of scattering this week with Christmas falling on a Thursday so I figured I'd get this in a little early. I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful season of celebration with your friends and family, not matter what you're celebrating. And hopefully the Canes can deliver a...

Look. I know nothing about this game other than it's happening and we need a thread. Jarvis will be out, but if Martinook can't play then they'll be forced to go with 7 defensemen, and you freaking know how that generally goes. Ugh. Again, assuming Kochetkov will get the nod in net. Otherwise...

Yes ... 5PM. And yes ... you're stuck with me doing the GDT, so wager accordingly. It's Black Friday. How do I know? The 5,000 unsolicited emails were a clue. As were the 6 or 8 tests from enterprising younger companies. Fun. I've already finished Christmas shopping so those rubes are just...

It's time. Rosters are mostly set, pre season is done, Tampa and Florida have finished wailing on each other ... one assumes. Let's get some predictions happening. Eastern Conference Metro Division 1. Carolina 2. New Jersey 3. Washington 4. NY Rangers 5. Columbus 6. NY Islanders 7. Philly 8...

Maybe we can save every other thread veering off into this territory by making a dedicated thread on the topic of what went wrong and how to fix it. Maybe Probably not, but it's worth a shot So, Carolina met their Waterloo in the form of the Florida Panthers (again) but had a successful...

OK, let me hear it. Pre-series thoughts on the Canes matching up with the Devils in Round 1 For Carolina, the health situation is pretty settled. Ghost returned to the lineup after being out with a minor back ailment, and Svech has returned from whatever the heck has been going on with him...

Short and sweet because I've gotta go do some stuff ... Carolina makes a quick trip to that lovely parking lot in Sunrise Florida for a game with the defending champs. Florida has been on a bit of a weird one this year, as they tend to both win and lose in bunches. Sadly for Carolina, they...

Just realized this wasn't up and now I'm short on time, so ... quickly. Carolina gets back on their road horse with a late afternoon date with the reeling Islanders. Unlike their friends down on Broadway, the Isles haven't pulled the pin on big roster moves yet, but they have tinkered around...
