The hockey purists from the “traditional” market areas probably don’t approve of such hoopla 😂😂
I sent my brother some pics from FanFest, who's almost exclusively a Bruins fan, (unlike my august self).. he lamented that 'we should have more of that here'

There are a few open minds!

Was a really good time yesterday, even music in the rain!!

Traffic northbound is already backed up to the ramp for exit 289 to get to the stadium
5.5 hrs until game time and this is traffic already

Anybody crash the gates yet? Where are the pig cookers being setup?
Some of my wife’s buddies camped there in the RV last night. They are primed and ready

Wish I was in NC to see this one!!
It's gonna be an epic event!!
Svech is ready!!



Ditto here, we will be watching from Sanibel island , I hope. Internet still a bit sketchy.

This makes the traffic management for the AFA outdoor game look competent
The traffic workers legit aren't doing anything.

Took a little over an hour and a half to make the 3 mile drive from my sister's place. Edwards mill was backed up to duraleigh road. Cut across to blue ridge and came in westchase. Clusterf***.

Could be worse, friends were on the exit from the beltline to wade at 2:15 and were still on wade at 4.

Yeah we got to exit 289 right around 215. Did not manage to get parked until 445

Went to the festival downtown last night. Streets and restaurants just flooded with Canes jerseys. And then the loads of randos, everything from night workers to the club crowd to homeless, mixing into the festivities. People who had very obviously stumbled into the party out of curiosity, walking around like “let’s go Canes!”

Got my oil changed this morning and the lobby TV was on WRAL’s morning news. It was just segment after segment about this game.

The local impact of this is huge. This is the kind of thing that moved the needle in terms of how locals think of the team as part of the fabric of the city.
You know the Canes are legit if you got the lobby of Jiffy Lube talking about the game.

Obviously this game is of the Devil.. (Should have had the Devils!)
Outdoor in the PNC Foosball Arena... Nothing good will come of this other then lining Tom's Pockets... so he can afford to pay for Kotkaniemi. for the next 7 years..
The Non elite forward play against Washington to be Capped and Lapped...

I think I'll get out of here now whilst the gitten is good.. ( At home to watch this un)

Southern Hockey is going to fail at this outdoor thing... go away I want to go back to the O6

First of all, the lots should have been opened at 12. I feel for those of you stuck in traffic, that's not cool.

Also, you guys probably know I am a youth leader/adviser for the church I grew up in. Long story short I got asked about a month ago to help with a weekend mission trip. We're back now but I'm dead tired, the kids want me to play hide and seek/basketball/volleyball with them. We're going to TopGolf in about an hour with about 20 teenagers, mostly middle school and very high energy.

I'll get to see maybe the first period but I'm probably crashing after we get back. Please pray for me :laugh: and Go Canes Go!

Giant police escort just zoomed through by the stadium with 2 yellow school busses which I am 95% sure held the Washington Capitals team.
