What do we do if he pulls an Uncle Eli and refuses to sign with the team that drafts him?

I'm a Panthers fan in spite of David Tepper. It's hard for me to turn my back on a team I've been a fan of since the start, but Tepper has killed my passion. The way he runs this organization, FC, and the debacles out of the stadium like the Rock Hill project I'm just done with him and his wife.

Keep your chin up. There’s always next year…. and the year after that, and the year after that. We’ve become the Carolina Brown Lions.

They did. You could see him on the left side of the bench. When he went in against the oilers the same spot was an empty wooden chair with a red cushion. I’d go back and take pictures but I don’t know that I want to relive any part of last night.

Just for Men doesn't last long

I’m very concerned about the goalie situation. Honestly, I don’t see how Freddie can come back. Maybe it’s different in the pros, but with clots he’s most likely going on blood thinners, and usually contact sports are out once that happens. Hoping I’m wrong, but my gut says this is going to be a bigger deal than we think. Rannta isn’t a no.1 and how much playing time does Kooch need to be ready. Has he hit his ceiling? The rest of the team has to give 110% and limit SOGs or we’re going to have an average record. The good news is if anyone can fix it, Rod can. Heck, he took a bunch of rookies and JAGs and Justin Williams to the ECF and we got a long way to go in this season. Hopefully we can get it together, get Pesce back in the lineup, and figure out a goalie solution.

Catching up late and just started the game, but we do also have the Pesce contract situation. When healthy if he was part of the deal and a LTIRed Freddie, could that open up enough space for someone like Saros?

Hell of a comeback! LGC!

What's made this harder is location services. A lot of streaming apps now require you to have location services turned on and shared before the app will load. Fubo requires you to set a home network, but allows a mobile device to be moved to other locations. That means on your phone, you'll get the regional content where the phone is, but a smart TV taken out of it's home network will not work. I share all this to say streaming services are starting to use more criteria to locate you, which makes it more difficult to spoof where you are. It can be done, but now for a lot of apps you're looking at a VPN service and a way to spoof your location.

I’ll just be happy with more goals than Seattle tonight. I think home ice is the medicine this team needs. Great night to start a winning streak! Who do you think will be getting the Hatty tonight 69? I’m rolling with Burnsy.

Hopefully our power kill looks a bit better tonight. Gonna be honest, didn't expect it to look as bad as it has been out of the gate. Let's Go Canes!

We’ll that was fun huh? 5 goals to start off the preseason. BOOM!

Thank God!!

I’d put Pitt in the AFC East, Indy in the AFC North, Miami in the AFC South and then call it a day.

It’s split squad, so we fly to Tampa, offload one team, then fly to Miami and play with the other. Those guys aren’t even offered showers, put back on the plane, fly back to Tampa, and then back home. https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/two-exhibition-games-in-one-day-why-how/c-345643676

I noticed yesterday that FuboTV is advertising they have Bally Sports. If that is true it will be a one-stop-shop for football and hockey. I’m interested.

I've been thinking about getting partial season tickets the last few years, but I live almost 4 hours away from Raleigh. I go to a couple games a year, and watch the rest from my living room suite with Mike and Tripp. Every year with success is probably going to be different, but you can find good seats on the open market at fair prices. I got 3 seats club level in the corner for game 2 against the Devils and it wasn't much over face value.

The only thing making his salty tears sweeter is knowing Rod and Co. are living rent free in that noggin of his 12 months out of the year. I love it Erik! At least you know who your his daddy is!

I got a 25th sweater. I wanted to always be able to wear it so I got no.97 and take warning on the name plate. I’m good as long as the slogan never changes.

Not gonna lie. That lineup is giving me a little bit of a sports boner. Orlov and Chatty…. Look Out! Everyone stays healthy the Canes are gonna be fun to watch.

is Orlov a lefty? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2023/07/carolina-hurricanes-sign-dmitry-orlov.html 2yr 15.5M!

I'd love to see him back, but his deal can't cost us Brady or Chatfield.

Happy Friday everyone!

You’re not the only one. The season ended for me when it ended for the Canes. Hope it’s a good series for the peeps watching it though!
