News & Notes XXIII: Brindy Beats the Team Into Shape

[Cardiac Jerks]

If Dougie needs his brother around to feel at home then he can get a normal job somewhere in Raleigh and they can get a two bedroom apartment together.

I wonder if Dougie likes going out on Wednesdays

As a Caniac who doesn't live in the Triangle, I'm buying ESPN+ this season because I know we'll get at least 10 games due to them likely having to use the "less glamorous" teams to make that service worth it.

For the 38th season, NHL on NBC will only have ONE game featuring Svechnikov.

*Road game? Check!
*Game against a team with NBC Sports affliliate? Check!
*Potentially pre-empted due to Carolina being out of playoffs? Most likely.

ESPN+ doesn't have any NHL games, I thought? Get just NHL Gamecenter.

According to TSN, the Canes don’t have any of the league’s top 50 players.

Do you have a link to the list? I can’t find it.

Soon there will be a part XXIV and of course we don't we don't exist... We are a Collective shared hallucination including our win of the Cup.

 

[AD Skinner]

Not sure where to post this but have been watching condensed games from last year and watched a game from February where the red wings came to raleigh and slammed the canes 4-1. Darling let in 4 on 38 shots and Mrazek only allowed 1 on 37.

What does it all mean basil?

 

[HisIceness]

I don't know but I do know this. I want Ice Hockey and I want it now!

I think he's referring to the THN list that was posted on the main board.

You can pick at a name here or a name there, but before putting an Aho, Slavin or Hamilton on there, you have to consider Pietrangelo, Suter, Draisaitl, Stone, Getzlaf, etc., who were notable omissions. Even looking at it through black and red colored glasses, I don't think it's unfair to not have a Carolina player on the list. For as good as Aho was last season, he wasn't a Top 40 point producer. Slavin's offense isn't up to par for this type of list and Hamilton's defense apparently isn't either.

Eric Staal continues to be one of the most underrated players alive.

It is a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist alright.

 

[CandyCanes]

I agree with no Canes being in the top 50. But it wouldn’t surprise me see Aho & Svechnikov in the top 50 soon enough.

Oh don’t get me wrong. I don’t think we have one of the top 50 players, maybe even top 60. Which says a lot about how this team has been rebuilt, considering it logically means that an average team has 2 players better than our best.

ESPN+ is going to air one game every night during the season. Considering they'll be dependenton regional broadcasts, they'll likely have to pick teams NBC wouldn't go near with a 33 and a 1/3rd foot pole.

I literally could not possibly care less.

Aho is a top 50 player, Slavin is a top 50 player.

We don’t have a market share on coverage.

You put Slavin on Pitt, Leafs, or any of the other National covered team, he would have Norris voting and accolades left and right.

Aho or Slavin can be a top-50 player on Pittsburgh and a #50-100 player on Carolina. That is the benefit afforded when a player has the opportunity to showcase their talent and win something that matters.

The rare "triple negative". I had to stop, take a sip of coffee, and re-read carefully.

There are only 9 defensemen on the list. The worst are Josi, Carlson, and Byfuglien. Giordano, Suter, Pietrangelo were left off. Slavin could be playing on any team and would not belong ahead of that group.

Aho has a better case but it’s really darn close and he looks like a safer bet for the 50-60 range than 40-50.

The Athletic Carolina is live. Right now it's three who is covering Panthers, Hornets and Big 4 in college. Still no one on Canes, but will probably come soon.

 

[tarheelhockey]

LOL. That sounds about right.

 

[Joe McGrath]

They should just rename the team the Carolina Afterthoughts. I can’t think of a professional sports team that most people could give less of a f*** about.

That team would be the Hornets, which has its own Athletic beat writer.

 

[vorbis]

a Hurricanes writer is 100% absolutely on the way
