GDT: Jackets @ Canes 7/11 - embrace your inner Lou Brown.. now with FOOD!

[garnetpalmetto]

Take it for what it's worth.

I take it as a sign they don't respect the local market. Tim Horton's? This is Southern hockey, Donny Boy! Only three doughnut brands are acceptable for PNC Arena - Krispy Kreme, Rise, or Monuts.

why not nc jelly donuts from burlington?

 

[RodTheBawd]

The demographics of Atlanta and Raleigh are drastically different, and trending in very different directions. Comparing the two in terms of a market for hockey and a potential move makes no sense to me at all. Being in the "South" is one of the only similarities.

My wager on us moving is still open to anyone willing to take it.

Jackets @ Canes 7/11 - embrace your inner Lou Brown

Alright we won some games this weekend, and we won one on Tuesday night. That's called a "winning streak"... it has happened before. So let's see some hustle, let's jack it up a little. Advanced "fancy" stats have a feeling things are about to turn around for us.

Apparently coach Brown Peters used the two games off to motivate Semin. Now, I wasn't behind the scenes but speculation is it went something like this:


So after the embodiment of all that is unholy and that which deserves to be hated among Canes fandom, aside from Ritch Winter/Frederik Andersen Jack Johnson's cheapshot on Tlusty the other night, he's out of the lineup against us, and what was mocked just a season ago when it was introduced actually has become a bit of a little rivalry here. Mind you it's between the two teams that really are considered only as afterthoughts in the Sydney Crosby & the tri-state Metropolitan Division. But if you haven't been paying attention you've been missing some good hockey. Hell, the Canes who were putrid much of last season managed to take 5 points in their 5 games last season, and have won 3 of the last 4 matchups, going to OT in the other.



Not much breaking news on the lineups for tonight. Gleason's confirmed out, Tlusty is more like a game-time decision, but he was able to practice this morning and indications are that, much like Ellie Arroway, he should be good to go. So, expected lines:

Canes:
Jiri Tlusty - Eric Staal - Alex Semin
Nathan Gerbe - Riley Nash - Elias Lindholm
Jeff Skinner - Jay McClement - Compete Level
Chris Terry - Victor Rask - Zach Boychuk

Andrej Sekera - Justin Faulk
Jay Harrison - John-Michael Liles
Ron Hainsey - Brett Bellemore

Cam Ward
Anton Khudobin


Jackets: (ripped from their GDT)
Hartnell-Jenner-Atkinson
Gibbons-Johansen-Foligno
Calvert-Wennberg-Skille
Tropp-Chaput-Boll

Tyutin-Savard
St.Denis-Prout
Erixon-Wizniewski

McElhinney
Forsberg

I'm going to put in a vote for BD58 to be honorary mod for this thread again tonight. Dave, please make it happen.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

I know there's not a physical, shutdown, crash and bang line.....but none of those lines make me nervous when they're out on the ice. And that's without J Staal. Huh.

 

[Unsustainable]

Jay - Liles pairing gives me great confidence for this game.

 

[HisIceness]

Because Ohio State is playing at Michigan State tomorrow and because the Blue Jackets play in Columbus, where Ohio State is located, and because I think this song is cool, I will post the Michigan State fight song in this thread.

Go Spartancanes!

Man...I didn't even look at the D pairings. Only the forward lines.

That pairing is...ugh.

 

[HisIceness]

Oh and **** Jack Johnson

 

[Novacane]

McElhinney is their starter


Will be attending this game

Tim Horton's donuts are gross.

Coffee is amazing, but the donuts are what the Spaniards would call "El Terriblé"

I'm ok with BD58 being an honorary mod for all the GDTs, because it's nothing but pure awesomeness.


That and I'll be at the game and unable to mod since reception at the ESRBPNCA is horrific.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

All donuts are disgusting.

donuts, mariah carey... what about love? do you hate love?

whaaaaaaaaaat? You honestly are, quite literally, the first person that I've seen that's not a fan of their donuts. I mean, fresh Crispy Creme's are still on a tier of their own, but all but 2 people I know that have had both would take Dunkin over Timmy's for donuts.

Not criticizing, just pointing out a unique opinion.

Hate is such a bad word. I don't hate these things, I just find them disgusting.

 

[Neighbor Lee]

Remember, CI hates everything Canadian so you have to consider the source.

Willful misspelling of Krispy Kreme? Deportation hearings shall commence posthaste!

I wouldn't mind them as much if they didn't all ship from Hamilton. By the time you buy it, it's about two weeks old. Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme and etc make theirs in house.

I'll eat them in a pinch, but there's so much better you can do.

Let me put it this way.

Tim Horton's = White Castle

Krispy Kreme = Golden Corral

Damnit, now I want a buffet.

I'll get more flack on this, but Golden Corral is about the grossest restaurant I've ever set foot in.
