Tribute Hurricanes Nostalgia

[CandyCanes]

I thought this thread idea could be fun, since we’re celebrating 25 years of Canes.

But thought it would be fun to share old Canes photos, video clips, goals, apparel, memories, etc in one big thread.

I’ll kick us off with this classic…

Some of my fondest memories are back when I was in high school, sitting in my room listening to Chuck Kaiton broadcasts. Never missed a game.

THE FIRST TIME I SAID VENGEANCE ON THIS BOARD… AND FELT WELCOME.

You mean to tell me you started a nostalgia thread and the first thing on it is Airiel f***ing Down?

Ngl it took everything in me in the moment to not shed a tear during the little next generation of caniacs video they did before the player intros.

As someone who grew up with the Canes throughout my childhood and is now currently in the process of sharing it with kids of my own, it really hit the spot in a way I did not expect before puck drop lol.

At the same time, I had to call bullshit on the couple that met at the games and has a kid that is now going.

Looking at the age of the kid, they probably conceived maybe 5 years ago? Maybe, if they rushed into things, they spent 6 months trying immediately after marriage. And even if they dated for only 6 months before their wedding, that's what.... 6 or 7 years ago?

Ain't no f***ing way there were enough people in the stadium on any given night in 2015 or 2016 for 2 singles to meet.

The implication that people were cheering and happy at that time was particularly offensive.

Lolololol I did think to myself watching it “wow that moved kind of fast didn’t it,” but I appreciated the gesture it made

Based on showing Dad with the baby and "on the way to the Stanley Cup Playoffs", born during the 18-19 season? That would make the kid 4 now, which seems a bit young for that kid.

A total of 10 years between meeting at a 2009 playoff (or fall 2009) tailgate, dating, marrying, and then having a kid? That sounds almost reasonable.


OTOH, born late in 2009 would put the kid at 13, which...no.

Haven't you learned that alcohol explains everything....

Or is 3 years not enough time between the teen watching the Cup and the tailgate?

Now I'm completely confusing myself over this well done ad.

If they really wanted us to understand the timeline, this would have been a perfect opportunity to splice in Chuck with "He shoots he SCORES! SEMIN!" in between the tailgate scene and watching the return to the playoffs with the baby.

Shame he got priced out of airing spots.

You know what needs to come back more often for the 25th anniversary? The sock puppets.

Going to the penalty box, you've been a bad bad boy...

Ok, let’s see if we can nail this down.



First clip is 1997, kid looks maybe 8 or so? Let’s call it 9 for the sake of the next clip.

Second clip is 1999, kid looks more like 11.

Third clip is 2002, kid hasn’t really aged. That’s kind of ok if he’s about 13-14, some kids are late bloomers. But he’s also wearing a Redvolution era jersey (2013) for some reason. Kind of a weird lack of continuity on multiple levels here.

Fourth is 2006, kid looks around 18 which is consistent with where we have been so far.

Tailgate clip, I’m assuming 2009 even though nothing signals that. He would be about 21 and about to get legally hammered at a game for the first time when he spots his future wife.

Baby clip is 2019, so now he’s around 31 and the baby is under a year old.

Final clip, if in 2022, means the girl is 3-4 whereas she looks around 6 or 7. We can make this make sense by assuming the clip happens in the future around 2024-25. This clip shows them on opening night, about to see Sebastian Aho’s first game as a Montreal Canadien.


So all of this makes sense except for the street hockey clip. The only reasonable explanation involves time travel.

I still say the brock mcginn "thor" storm surge was really a storminator homage.

To quote mrs slocombe, i am unanimous in this.
