Congratulations on the great season Canes fans. Entertaining team and fantastic core of players. The Canes success has given me hope as a Flyers fan that just getting in can truly be enough to have a chance to win it all.

Hell of a run, from the second half all the way through last night. Hopefully they take some time to appreciate the experience and realize how much hard work it took to get there, so the team can come back ready next season.

TB fan here. Just congratulating you all on an awesome season. Not many were predicting you to go this far. I think you guys have a great nucleus of players and will be back in the playoffs for a number of years.

Being in PNC for the playoffs, especially the Caps, was one of the best sporting experiences I've had. I'll never forget this run.
Listened to a bit of Game 4 last night on the radio and heard more intelligent analysis from Tripp than all series on Tv (thought Boucher was good though)

Great experience for our young guys. Come back next season hungry and ready out of the gate.

Tripp gets a bad rap here.
Yeah, he is a bit like our crazy uncle, but he brings a lot of value to the broadcast, and he has a lot of great insight we just don't see elsewhere. When you get to the national broadcasts, its all about inflating the tires of the big market teams and slobbering all over the stars. John and Tripp are far more informative about the game itself, and we're better off for it.
God I love this guy!
Thank you for showing us the Path of Vengeance--we shall carry it on in your honor
Also, why do I have the feeling some random day next season we'll be looking for your posts--they'll all be gone--we'll ask the admins "What happened to @MrazeksVengeance ?" They'll say...."There never was a MrazeksVengeance on this site." and then we'll realize you were really truly more than a man, but a spirit....and that you lived inside of our hearts all along.

Fantastic and Stochastic
Well, after what we went through the last 10 years, I'll take it, and like it.
So many great memories from this run- it seems like its been forever since they clinched a spot. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend 3 games, including Game 6 against Washington which was undoubtedly the loudest sounds I've heard humans make.
This is great for the team, and the city itself. Glad to see so many people pulling for the Canes even if they are "fair weather" fans. Hopefully Dundon will build on this and this franchise will finally turn the corner,

After all of the other play callers, I love Tripp

Fifth line center
I unabashedly love Tripp. He's goofy and homerish and honest and vulnerable and human and really, really funny.
I love every time he tells John that he loves him, and obviously means it, and John shifts around uncomfortably and says "you too" because his dad obviously never told him he loved him.

Hated to see the Canes eliminated, but overall it was a great season for all of you. I’ve personally enjoyed the interaction in here! Great fans and people. I’m excited to attend more Canes games next year. We really love it here in the Triangle!
>>>>>>>>> Avengers poster. Pig puts us over the top imo. We've experienced the Thanos snap.....but stay tuned for next season to see what happens to our lovable Jerks
Anyway, sigh. I don't know about you guys, but the NHL is pretty much dead to me for this season lol. That's my very mature way of handling crippling defeat in sports...I just move on to the next season lol.
I'll be watching my Yankees and following this board (I really mean it when I say I love this fanbase / board), updates, figuring out if it makes sense to get a ticket plan even though I live out of state, etc lol! But, I'm past the hate-watching part of my sports life -- so ehhhh I hope to see the Bruins implode but won't hold my breath.

The best part of this season is giving us confidence in the future. This year was a perfect storm of a season. From ownership to management, to Rod and everyone in that locker room, to the marketing department and everyone involved in the grassroots effort to get the community involved and engaged. We have earned league wide attention, which wouldn’t be possible without the incredible work on and off the ice, both during and postgame, by this incredible band of brothers.
Looking ahead to this incredible young core leading us to such a bright future ahead full of consistently making the playoffs, hopefully with a few more deep runs sprinkled in. It feels so good to know that we are only at the beginning of what should hopefully be a great decade ahead.
I’ve been a Canes fan for the better part of 20 years, and this season is one I will never forget.

Really good run for such a young team.
Bruins are veterans.
No shame in that.

In the end, the real Stanley Cup was friendship.
And Vengeance we had along the way.

Honestly, Canes hockey was fun for the first time in a long time. I never lost faith, but I'd had abut all the kicks to the crotch and sharp sticks in the eye that I could handle.

Even the official NHL store is getting on board with our nonsense. I remember checking in there and only seeing some clearance Skinner jerseys and a fidget spinner.
Also....yeah, I ordered one.

I think this is the big thing for me. Fandom had stopped being a source of joy and had become an experience of masochism.
Whatever thoughts I'd had of pulling back as a fan weren't out of unwillingness to "stay the course", or of anger or anything like that. It just wasn't doing anything for me.
This year became fun again. Everything that's always been fun about the funnest Canes teams (namely fan engagement), this year had in spades (everything that is passive about passive voice, this sentence has).
Conference Finals were great, and I think the value of a deep playoff run is great for the community and for the experience of the roster itself. But if Brock McGinn hadn't scored that double OT winner, and this team had gone home in 7 in the first round, I think from a fan engagement perspective I'd still be just as excited for next year. The personality of this team secured its hook on me as a fan for the foreseeable future.
