Fun tidbit of how NHL hockey in North Carolina came to be

That's a fun and well-researched article.

But I have to admire Chip's naivete here:

"One of the top money men in the prospective ownership group, Bernard Ebbers, entered federal prison in 2006 after one of the most extensive security fraud and conspiracy cases in U.S. history. That came after three years of highly publicized indictments, charges and court appearances. Imagine the ramifications of that on a hockey team."

We don't have to imagine it... half a dozen teams have had their active owners sent to jail. Heck, during the time period covered by this article Spano, Rigas and Pocklington were all in the league and McNall was still a fresh memory.

If he was truly cheap they’d still be using all this equipment. No one gets anything new

I don't know where to post this - but I was just watching an old highlight on Youtube and 100% forgot that Noah Hanifin was our All-Star in 17-18...

A picture of Tyler Johnson would do the trick

Is something happening at PNC in November that has the Canes on the road that much?

genesis is there on november 19th so they had to clear the schedule

 

[NotOpie]

14 back2backs. 11 games in 23 days in December. 3 home games in Nov. Tom Dundon peed in somebody's Cheerios.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Hope they have a points cushion built up beforehand...

I mean he's a legend. He was the first guy to hug svech after his first lacrosse goal.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Duhatshek from the Athletic said Quick is a good fit because his cap hit is 5.8 but actual dollars are 3 million. Dundon likes to watch his actual spending.

Love echoing the same rhetoric.

We didn’t want to go Arb with a guy who would get Demko or Binnington money but we are going to trade for a guy with a higher cap hit and is worse?
