How you became a Canes fan: BUFFALOSABERSSUCK

 

[Stubu]

Team Finland got the Happiest Nation in the World award for the fifth time in a row.
Team Finland got the fourth World Championship in Cheerleading in a row.
Team Finnish Air Force lost the Douglas Bader Trophy for Best Demo in Farborough back to the Brits.
Coincidence? I see a conspiracy.

 

[Stubu]

Just when I think I can wake up and have a normal morning, even if the Canes suck, and especially Aho and Turbo suck. And then a Prime Minister decides to stir up another controversy. Is there no rest for the wicked?

I strongly recommend anyone considering moving to or visiting Finland to not do it, in the timeline between near future and ever. It'll just be too stressful.

(Note. it's the same jacket she used to go yank Sweden into joining NATO post haste. Which she, admirably, did.)

 

[Stubu]

I want to imagine Biden being so chirpy.

(She pulled 5. I'm not sure I have that in me, what with all the weighty knowledge and world insight I have gathered, you know.)

Finnish PM is hot.

 

[Stubu]

Finnish PM is hot.

No, she is fit. Not hot, but fit.

Finland's new devoluted Province Assemblies? Done.
Covid? Der Spiegel rates Finland as top spot among 154 countries.
Afghanistan? Job well done.
Economy? Looking good, despite Russia.
Jobs? Better than forecast. Actually hitting their targets.

Not hot.

Good.

What we needed yesterday.

[Edit] I was hoping MV you said cold, not hot. Because cold is what we need. She already kicked Sweden's ass into joining Nato in our pace, very sorry. She's cold when need be. I've never voted for her party, it's too boring, but if they really move on with the times I might think twice. She's so pro defense. Who isn't but I'm showing my youthful age so I digress

 

[Summer Rose]

I've posted here for a couple days so I figured I could fill this out as best as I can even though I'm really a Coyotes and Lightning fan, though as @Ginger Papa said, I'm more of a fan of the sport of hockey

Name: Tricia
Age: How dare you ask a woman her age! (I'll be 36 next month.)
Sex: Female (see above).
Where You're From: Tempe, Arizona
Where You Live Now: Gainesville, Florida
Nationality: American, eligible for a Republic of China passport if I ever want one (they're not very useful)
Hair Color: Natural hair color is dark brown, currently dyed blonde, will dye it red next month
Eye Color: Green
Mode of Transportation: 2018 Volkswagen GTI, Tron hockey inline skates
Job: Housewife
What brought you to HF Boards: The 2012 playoff photoshop thread. What a legendary thread!
How you became a hockey fan: I've always grown up around sports. While I did find game 4 of the 1996 Stanley Cup finals on TV as a kid once and found it interesting, it didn't draw me in at the time, so it took me a few more years. During the 2001-02 season, I was bored (this is a common theme in my life - I find new things when I'm bored) and found a Coyotes game on Fox Sports Arizona and fell in love.
How you became a Canes fan: Sort of applicable, but I feel like fellow "sun belt" teams should stick together. Except for the Kings, and now the Panthers. They can get bent.
Favorite thing about being a Canes fan: I shall alter this to be about being a Coyotes fan: annoying those who would want to see my team relocate by merely existing.
Favorite Canes Player(s): Antti Raanta
Favorite NON Canes Player(s): Clayton Keller, Erik Cernak, Marc-André Fleury
Other Sports You Like: Football, baseball, cricket, rugby union, motorsport
Other Sports Teams You Cheer For: Arizona Coyotes, Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Rays, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
College Attended/Attending: Arizona State University (past), University of Florida (hopeful future)
Video Game Systems Owned: PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii
Favorite Game(s): Factorio, Stellaris, Cities: Skylines, Skyrim, Fallout 4, OpenTTD
Music You Listen To: I shall list some of my favorite composers and performers. Frederic Chopin, John Rutter, Richard Wagner, Steven Reineke, Krystian Zimerman, Karl Richter, Arthur Rubinstein.
Favorite Movie(s): Cool Runnings, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Frozen
Favorite Book(s): The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Favorite Food(s): Shaomai, jiaozi, most things southern Chinese. I like to cook.
Favorite TV Show(s): Parks and Recreation, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad
Hockey Jerseys In Wardrobe: Arizona Coyotes - Shane Doan, Tampa Bay Lightning - Erik Cernak, Vegas Golden Knights - Marc-André Fleury
Anything Else: I've played piano for 32 years. I like hockey. I'm not very good at putting any interesting information in these info boxes.

 

[Stubu]

Favorite Movie(s): [...] Frozen

I assume that's the 2013 movie, not the 2010 movie?

(I've only seen the latter.)

I've had a piano for 3 years. Damn is it still easy to type wrong on that thing.

I was not aware that there was a movie titled Frozen that was released in 2010, so, yes, the 2013 one. Fake edit: I looked it up and apparently there are two: an American one (a thriller directed by Adam Green) and one from Hong Kong, directed by Derek Kwok Chi-Kin.

[Stupendous Yappi]

This may not exactly be the right thread for this, but I didn't want to start a new one.

I'm a long-time Blues fan, recently moved to just outside Johnson City, TN. The closest NHL arena to me is Raleigh. 4.5 hours drive....I probably won't just pop in. (I guess I'm about equidistant to Nashville, but I can't stand the Preds.) But I would very much like to see a game in Raleigh some time.

I'm not sure if I have the band-width to follow two teams closely, but I've liked and respected the Canes (and their fan presence on HF helps). I've toyed with having an Eastern Conference team.

I may pop in from time to time this year, and will try to pay closer attention to how the Canes are doing. I need to learn the roster better. When you only face a team twice a season, its easy to have only a superficial knowledge of the team. I know Carolina likes to get quality players for future considerations. Seems reasonable.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and announce myself. I'll be lurking a bit.

Your guys shit-kicked the Bruins in 2019, so you're alright by me.

You've also got Faulk playing for you now, so you're double alright by me.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome. Be prepared to be re-educated about the CORRECT form of BBQ when you are around or come to a tailgate at the arena.

Cheers!

 

[LostInaLostWorld]

Howdy. Be prepared to learn all about Bojangles fighting etiquette, amongst many other seemingly unhockey related topics.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Welcome. Be prepared to be re-educated about the CORRECT form of BBQ when you are around or come to a tailgate at the arena.

Cheers!

I had a brief stop in Montana prior to this, but 7 years different spots in Texas before that. I learned how to smoke brisket there, and to favor vinegar-based BBQ sauce. I’ve seen signs around here advertising Memphis style. I would welcome learning the nuances of local style. First of all, what do you call it? Secondly, tailgate at hockey games?! Sounds wonderful. I’ve only seen that at special occasions.
