Just cruising through Facebook and saw it’s the anniversary of signing our equipment manager to a 1 game contract...the Canes have done some pretty, don’t know if I’d call them classy, but neat things over the years... actually letting him play the final seconds of the game, letting Bicks take the final shhotout shot to end his career, playing all 4 Staals in 1 game... publicity stunts or not I’m sure it would be pretty f***ing cool to anyone directly affected by those choices... Anyway... just thought might be a losing organization lately but they always seem to treat their people great... just look at Tripp still being employed!!!

Would be a great organization to work for. They treat you great and you aren’t expected to work too hard or be too good at your job.

Congrats to two Hurricane greats James Wisniewski & Bobby Sanguinetti making the USA olympic roster.

This is Hurricanes Hockey
The GDT in which Sanguinetti scored his first goal is still one of my favorite GDTs on here. Kind of sad actually, was 5 years ago and ended up being just another meaningless regular season game.

Where are the white women at
Didn’t you just describe every Canes game in the last 5 (or8) years?
Thought these two special teams heat maps were interesting...

Didn't really need a graph. Jordan Staal's are in front. Faulk from the center at the point. Aho and Teravainen from the wings.

Neither heat map should be a surprise to any of us.
I took note a few games back of how the defensemen on the PK do not position themselves with the forward who is nearest the crease, but instead are positioned a good 4 feet in front of them. This may have always been the case, I just typically follow the puck, and when the puck is down low, the defensemen collapse on the net-front forward so I didn't notice the positioning prior to that. Anyway, I wonder if that factors into the crease area of the defensive heat map.

I think the left wing heat spot is at least half Faulk as well as some TT.

Hmm the last time the Canes did this I was a high school kid with no money. Now I'm a semi broke 24 year old growing a business. Hopefully in 7-8 months my business will take the leaps I expect it to and I shall consider going on this trip.

How happy would the players be to not have to go to f***ing Winnipeg next year?

I think anyone would much rather go to Finland than Winnipeg.
I think everyone in Winnipeg would rather be in Finland.
Not only is it cold af but it’s pretty gross and has a lot of crime.

Totally planning out this trip already. Thinking Iceland, to Fjords of Norway, to Finland, and then home. Maybe consider stopping in London. Knock out two bucket list locations and get to go see some Canes hockey in Finland lol.

Sounds like the right plan combining it with other stops. If you went solely to see the canes play I think you’d likely wind up disappointed and feeling like you’d wasted a lot of money.

Confirmed Staal getting traded to make room for Taveres. Stempniak out of the no contact jersey. Wallmark's gonads still suffering after taking a skate to the Crown Jewels. Kruger stole Stempniaks yellow jersey.

Any update on Wallmark's boys? It didn't seem like just a cup check reaction, dude looked like he might have lost one.

Doubtful for tomorrow. No cut, but a “painful injury”.

I asked, but for whatever reason, he avoided answering.
Breakdowns
Meh
If Canes come to Sweden/Finland it`s an easy travel across the sea and I can watch the game, only thing that tickets might be very expensive...

Time for a gofundme page to send Breakdowns to a game! Contingent on him no longer liking every post of mine.
It will be interesting to see how Peters sets the lines when Stempniak actually gets back in the lineup. Teravainen has been too productive on his off-side on the 1st line to play anywhere else. Stempniak seems like a natural fit on Skinner's line as that might get #53 going again. That leaves one Top 9 RW spot with Lindholm and Williams available to fill it. If last night is any indication, that means Williams on the 4th line full-time. That seems like a waste, though. It would be nice if Lindholm or Williams could transition over to LW.

Don't fight your likeability. It is undeniable.
I can confirm that Patrick Thoresen was in town heading to PNC. Maybe some grief counseling for Wallmark.

On a quick check €100-€200 last time around in 2011 in Helsinki.
They are in talks apparently as it gets spoken about, but I wonder if there will be a hiccup because the go-to venue for this stuff, Hartwall Arena, is a KHL Arena nowadays ~owned by a team owner. NHL may be seen as a competitor nowadays.
