Hurricanes bringing back Whalers look vs Boston

The only individuals who are not going to be too fond of this are Hartford natives; anyone and everyone else loves the logo and the idea. I'll also add that Dundon is a marketing genius (obviously, since he was instrumental in developing Top Golf). Additionally, he seems to have the team on the right track even though he does seem to be a bit of a micro manager. 

Hartford diehards can clamor and complain all they want about how they were such a good hockey town when in fact, statistically, Raleigh has proven to be better. In Hartford's 18 year history they averaged 80% capacity or above in eight seasons. In Carolina's 20 year history they have averaged 80% capacity or above in 11 seasons.

So much for those diehard hockey fans up north.

Go Canes!

That logo got me into hockey when I was very little.  When I found out that team was coming to Raleigh I was ecstatic.  There's obviously been some bad blood from those that loved that team and were pissed at Karmanos, rightfully so.  It won't heal any wounds, in fact it probably pissed those Hartford folks off even more.  I'm glad they're only doing a couple of games. Hopefully it stays that way.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
