It was April 2019. The Canes were in the playoffs again and my wife and I had spent the morning at the fairgrounds for the annual GoodGuys car show. After we were done walking, we decided to head over to the Carolina Ale House for the Canes @ Islanders Game 2 watch party.

We got a couple beers, order some food and watched the game. At some point, a young lady approached my wife and asked her if I served in the Navy (I had a Navy hat on). She said, "yes, he retired in 1993 after serving 20 years." Mind you, I met and married my wife after I retired.  Anyway, this person got our home phone and information and the next thing you know, we have seats for Game 4 at PNC and I get introduced as (they called it back then) Fearless Hero of the game. It was pretty special. I was just a guy watching the game and they went out of their way to take care of us. Not to mention the Canes swept that series, it was a resounding win, which made it more special.

We had just sold our PSL to the Panthers a couple years before, I love hockey and my wife got hooked after 1 game in PNC. We weren't attached to anything sports at that time and we were getting single game tickets every now and then. Not just because of this thing they did for us, but seeing the team built the way it is and knowing they'll be a perennial contender makes it much easier to get those season tickets every year.

Awesome story!

      Buffalo Bills signing Shaq Thompson

      By blueandblackattack · Posted

      Same, wish we could've kept him around a bit longer. TD didn't become TD until after the back to back to back season ending injuries. From 2012 on, he was AP, Pro Bowl, and WPMOTY award winner. I was hoping Shaq would follow in that route here and pass the baton to the next generation. But he only got one year with Trevin Wallace, so we'll see. Either way, happy he's back in the league, and home to where our castoffs go to rejuvenate their careers 😅

      My biggest problem with receivers is we always want guys that are big possession guys who focus on what they do after they get the ball in their hands.  We never value quickness or route running at all.  For me I prefer quick shifty receivers and what they do before they get the ball in their hands.  Everyone keeps talking about all this diversity in the wr room and for once I actually agree with Steve Smith.  We've got a lot of possession guys that dont really scare the secondary over the top.  If you take away our injured 6th round pick,  Thielen probably beats any other receiver we have in a shuttle or cone drill and that is absolutely ridiculous at this stage of his career, and its not because hes quick lol.  He keeps drafting all these big guys and touting catch radius and contested catches when in  modern NFL defenses that doesn't really work anyways.  Youre not throwing 50 yard jump balls much anymore.   Constant nickel and 2 deep safeties have ended that.  You attack underneath and medium depth.

      I like the confidence. Hopefully he's going to bring some swagger to the upcoming season. It will translate to the rest of the locker room.
