the passionate Carolina Hurricanes fans = passionate fans of the Carolina Hurricanes
the passionate Carolina Hurricanes' fans = fans of the passionate Carolina Hurricanes
I mean, it's not necessarily wrong. This is a team that's signed Tlusty, Semin, Aho, Darling in the past decade. They seem a little thirsty, if you know what I mean. *wink wink*
I'm an engineer so thought the apostrophe was ok. Will need one of the english/journalism majors on here to weigh in as this could decide the whole season. My understanding, going back to grade school which is a LONG time ago, is an apostrophe is used to show possession, thus:
Burnside: Canes' Star, meaning star of the Canes
Civian: Hurricanes' fans, meaning fans of the Hurricanes.
I understand your point about passionate though so will defer to others on this.
Darling had a .938 in the preseason? Dam son.
edit: but this all does ultimately come down to what vorbis pointed out earlier -- in traditional journalism there would be an editor to catch and correct this sort of nitpicky error (probably a jerk like me who took sadistic glee in it). I'd speculate that part of what makes the Athletic so cheap is that they don't bother with that kind of quality control.
He just looks so uncoordinated doing it though. His rebound control is non-existent. I'm guessing once he's healthy, we'll see a 50/50 split until one takes the crease by force. All that is out the window if Darling is hurt a while and Mrazek comes out ablaze.
It's the difference between "Carolina Hurricanes" as an adjective or as a proper noun.
That's a good way to put it. The apostrophe magically transforms the adjective (CH, describing "fans") into a noun (CH, possessing "fans") through an ancient black alchemy that we inherited from the French (of course).
"Carolina Hurricanes" in "Carolina Hurricanes fan" is no adjective. It's a noun adjunct, or, synonymously, attributive noun.
The concept developed through the man's fight against the apostrophe, and deserves to bear its true name.Let’s not nitpick please
It’s very clear that if we get that Scott Darling in the regular season we are set for goaltending. Since the end of last year, every time he’s had a chance to prove he’s gotten better, he’s done so.
Hopefully the injury is minor, we get Mrazek for a game or two, and he comes back without missing a beat.
his rebound control actually seemed pretty decent yesterday before he left with his injury. he was getting a lot more pucks into the corner or out of play if he wasn't able to swallow them up. last season, those same pucks typically ended up just sitting in the slot or in the crease for easy tap-ins.
he still doesn't hold onto as many shots as you would like to see, but at least the rebounds he is giving up are going where he seemingly wants them to
