Anybody going to a game in the near future? It would make a nice get well soon card for the team to sign...

I bet it was Ice Building Maintenance Man that leaked the true nature of Pesce's injury on r/canes, too. Ask him if they added any girth while they were doing the reconstruction? (Asking for a friend)

If Bryce can only see 30 feet downfield, why not build an all slot offense? Who cares about 40 times if you are only running 5 yard routes?

Why does his facial expression work so well for this?!? Lmao

https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/brett-pesce-broken-dick Brett Pesce injury update. Defenseman had surgery to repair broken dick suffered on West coast road trip. By Canes PR @CanesPR Hurricane.com 2:05 PM RALEIGH, NC. - The National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes today announced that defensemen Brett Pesce is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a lower body injury. Pesce is at home in Raleigh recovering from a successful penile reconstruction surgery to repair a broken dick suffered against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Since I have no pie left to give, this is all I can offer you...

Good news... Orlov finished -1 tonight. That's a huge improvement, unfortunately. Pairing him up with Chatty has definitely seemed to help him settle in. I'm not sure what TDA brings at this point, but Chatfield should never not be in our top 6.

Aww... Simple Jack tryna show he belongs with the big boys...

And now he's out there throwing punches with a bum shoulder. Hence why I said to sit his ass until healthy. It feels like watching Ron trot Cams hobbled ass out onto the field all over again!

Everybody is entitled to reactionary takes...

Moleman getting mad makes me giddy!

Canes and giving up late period goals...

On the lightning broadcast, the announcers spent about 5 minutes talking about how jaded de Haan is about his tenure in/departure from Carolina... Sorry you weren't good enough to crack the roster most nights. Nice to see you got a job tho, Calvin! I'm proud of him!

PK (nee Koochie) and the PK looking good early!

Correct. Max was never in our long term plans, so his absence didn't really hinder us in any meaningful way. Svech's long term recovery is far more important to this team then his return this season.

True, but it really throws a wrench in our budding Bouncing Baby Boy line...

Walt Ruff @ Hurricanes.com TAMPA, FL. - Trying to predict the Carolina Hurricanes' lineup on Tuesday is comparable to attempting to predict the winning lottery numbers. Well, kind of. You can get the Martinook - Staal - Fast line and the Slavin - Burns defensive pairing correct, but that won't land you the million-dollar recipe. Stumpy's Thoughts: Did we all learn nothing last year from the Pacioretty predicament? Don't rush these guys back from injury . It's a long ass season. And, IDK about you, but I'd rather watch Aho feeding Svech breakaways in June rather than October. Aho, Anderson, Pesce, Svech...? Keep all these MFers on ice (for lack of a better word) until New Years if need be. He'll, Svech tore his ACL like 6 months ago, sit his ass until the playoffs if needed. We have one of the most loaded talent pipelines in all of hockey. What better way to discern if any of them are ready, than to let them play with the big boys. Let's be real, we already know who this team is. They will be cup contenders at seasons end. I don't think I'm going out on any limbs by predicting that. The difference between a contender and a winner are usually those unheralded grinders and unexpected bloomers that round out the stars on the roster. A young goalie with the sophmoric confidence to turn a regular season hot streak into a historic playoff run. A 4th line winger who finds his shot playing on the top line for 10 games, scores the game winner that sends a team to the Finals. Early season struggles/injuries are often the catalysts that breed postseason success! All that said, I really don't like the Orlov/TDA bottom pairing. Might as well put 5 forwards on the ice at that point. Considering the strengths of our 2-way wingers, it might be our best option while Pesce is out... lmao

This is why we can't have nice things. Put him back in bubble wrap until the damn all-star break!!! (I'm only half joking)

BB8 and Baby Boy Bunting battle back big!!!
