No one in the Raleigh-area is going to Stockholm soon by any chance?

You paying?

I barter shipment of typical products of the Roman countryside for a shipment of the famous t-shirt that teases a poor old man who does not know how to dress.

The shipment will contain:

1) Carciofi alla giudìa e alla romana.
2) Spaghetti alla carbonara.
3) Il Quinto quarto: rigatoni con la pajata e coda alla vaccinara.
4) Abbacchio alla scottadito (e fritto panato).
5) Il supplì al telefono.
6) Il trapizzino.
7) Crostata di visciole.

All of this for the t-shirt.

You paying?

Buying a car this week for almost $13.000, but otherwise I would!

Hello Canes fans. Pens fan here, just wanted to say, I love the celebrations and I hope that the Hurricanes do them every single home win as long as it keeps making people salty. Usually I don't take joy in other people being upset, but this is quite the exception. It's not often that you find people so upset about something that could not affect them less.

 

[Svechhammer]

Those main board threads are hilarious. The sheer volume of angst over this and the outrage from some that the Canes had the stones to clap back is.... Mmmm just icing on the top

And of course every once in a while someone slips up and says the real motivation over this outrage... We don't deserve a team and it should move to Canada where they do things the right way.

 

[My Special Purpose]

it should move to Canada where they do things the right way

You mean, sell out to corporate overlords, raise ticket prices so families can't see games, and never win anything? No thanks.

 

[My Special Purpose]

You know what would be thoroughly awesome? If the Maple Leafs did something like this after next home win. They're a young, fun team. I can see them getting into something like this. I'll tell you this much, the narrative would to a complete 180 if the Leafs did it.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

The whole league should do this. The clap is fun as shit live in PNC!

 

[VaCaps Fan]

But the storm surge is ours...

 

[Lambo]

I love this celebration too. Remember me like a soccer team from Iceland(Stjarnan Gardabaer). It s creative and funny.

Lets be honest here. The Spaghetti alla Carbonara is worth the trade alone.

Seriously. As someone who has been to Italy 8 times, now for a total of about a month, Spaghetti alla Carbonara is one of the most amazing things there is

Just as long as it isn't an Italian combat ration. I fell into a YT rabbit hole yesterday of watching this guy who eats various combat rations, past and present, from the US military as well as international militaries. For a country with such a deeply embedded food culture, the Italian version of an MRE was disappointing to say the last, especially breakfast (essentially a power bar, instant cappuccino, two packs of apricot jam, and a cordial). Lunch included turkey in jelly that looked like cat food and Dinner included beef medallions in jelly that looked like dog food.

Incubation is gonna get enough shirts for his whole family, I think

There'll be an entire town in Italy clothed in those shirts.

 

[MinJaBen]

There'll be an entire town in Italy clothed in those shirts.

It will be like those poor villages in Africa with the Super Bowl loser’s championship t-shirts.

I just find like perkiness and irrational exuberance irritating. Nothing really specific.

You really are an old fart, aren’t you?

 

[Dishface]

I feel like I want to play the devil's advocate with this topic. Not sure how long they plan on doing this, but coming in free agency, how do the nhl players view this celebration stuff? If they hate it, they wouldn't sign here because they would have to it after every home win. Big stretch that a player wouldn't sign here bc of the storm surge, but it's a different view on this concept.

If someone is so stuffy to not want to sign here because of a fun celebration after wins, I don't want him here.

The future of the NHL is creative individuality where fans can relate to players as well as teams. I want guys who have a sense of humor who don't take this too seriously because those guys play fast and loose every night and help promote a winning culture. It's no coincidence our goofiest team since they moved to NC, between Whitney hamming it up with every interview to Redneck Hockey to Commodore and the bath robe and ginger fro ended up winning it all while all the super serious teams under Muller, Peters, etc all choked on their own spit.

I want our reputation to be the fun team. That creates a draw more than it drives people away.

[Jerkob Slavin]

I told ya’ll. I believe.

2005-2006 we had red wigs, bathrobes, a broken neck, lurkin’ Ray Whitney, J-Willy, key new faces and a group of guys that played their guts out for each other.

This year we have the surge, the jerks, a busted Cherry, El Niño, J-Willy, key new faces and a group of guys playing their guts out for each other.

We need 4 of 6 possible points before the TDL. Do that and we should be ALL IN.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Everyone here should know the team well enough to not be ALL IN until the team is ACTUALLY in.
