Stumpy

Lets hope this PP is more satisfying than the last one...

...and a shortie. The PP has never recovered from the loss of Mrs. Marley.

Now we get to whip out the PP. Hope Rod got some blue chew or some poo...

The PK looking stout early! Let's hope that holds up...

Only took 0:22 for Demi to do something dumb...

Same lines, different order....

The storm is coming...

Dirty Demi

I love that this place is... ...when there's nothing to complain about.

Best of all, Mikko looked genuinely happy celebrating on the ice with the team and kiddos!

Jarvy with the empty netter!

Didn't seem to make much of a difference...

sUPeRstArS cAn'T play iN ouR sYStEM!!!!

Chased the goalie 8 minutes in... Oh, hiya Reimer!

96+20=1

Nah, I think it was earnest. You, typically, want that which you lack, or sometimes what you lost.

If Aho's comments were a shot across the bow, this feels like a slap to the back of the head...

Some perspective... The numbers...

Not really, the players hear what the fan base and media are saying. And he knows the team is in a funk. Aho let the fans know that he hears the noise. And, he agrees. Close isnt good enough for this team! He also defended the culture that his coach and captain have built in Raleigh. As for the rest of the players, all the talk about out working other teams seemed like a pretty clear shot across the bow of some of the guys who haven't been in this system for almost a decade. He can't call a players only meeting. I think this is his way of showing leadership without stepping on Jordo's toes.

Players Tribune I think about the playoff losses a lot. It hurt then, and it hurts now. Each one of them stays with me. It stays with us. We have scar tissue. That’s the honest truth. There’s no point in lying about it. It’s there. And it’s a part of who this team is, of who we’re going to be. And I’m thinking about it now, not because I’m taking the regular season for granted, or because we’re already thinking ahead. It’s actually the opposite of that. This year's team, we don’t want to just be talented, or a tight group, we want to have a real identity. Something that we can rely on, no matter what happens during a month, or game, or series. Something that we know is us — something that is true to Hurricane hockey, through and through. Just published, reading it now...
