Hey there Canes fans, came to collect the 4th round pick Vatanen awarded us today along with letting you guys know my CashApp allows donations for getting Svechnikov a hat trick today

For those that dont know my guru ass called a big game by him at 5am on the main board and so while donations are accepted, all I ask for is a picture with the pig

The best 4th round pick was the one that NJ gave to Carolina for Ponikarovsky(sp?) It only ended up being Jaccob Slavin. I guess we can afford to return the favor.

So first your cult of Canes fans is going to jump me in a Bojangles parking lot and now were going to bring up Slavin in the 4th?

Well f*** me, next youll remind me about Brodeur’s softy while Im on the ground with a pig snorting in my face

No, you got me all wrong. I’m being sincere when I thank you profusely for Slavin. No ill intent at all.

I forgot to mention that the NJD wanted Aho in the 2nd round in 2015, but the Canes got to him first and then NJ traded down. Lucky for NJ or they would have had to go through the offer sheet nonsense. See, we were looking out for you.

After seeing how Gardiner, Skjei, and Vatanen have played in the postseason, I cannot wait to see Pesce back when September rolls around.

Slavin-Hamilton
Skjei-Pesce
Gardiner-Vatanen

Mrazek has shown up this postseason, but play a defense like this and you can basically get away with sticking a mop in between the nets.

I've been so impressed with how everyone has bought into the system. the team is hustling and focused on defense and the few times they are not Petr has come up with some amazing saves. then that relentless, merciless forecheck. this team is not messing around lol

Man, hell of a game, Canes just dominated. Only goal Rags get is from an undeserved 5 on 3. I'm not arguing MOST of what the refs called on us tonight were by letter-of-the-law penalties, but it also means they missed about 50 other infractions...if Fleury was interference so was that mugging of Necas, if JWilly was interference so was knocking Aho off balance trying to go up the ice. **** Trouba's head-hunting tactics on Willy, the league SHOULD look at a hit like that where he had no intention of playing the body or puck but just went elbow first towards him. Sorry, but the obvious bias/game management calls frustrate me even when I expect them [/rant]

The team continues to play like this, we're going to get a decent taste of playoffs again this year...Things are just clicking with them right now and it's beautiful. Mrazzle Dazzle was in the ZONE! Skjei and Gardiner haven't looked like dumpster fires, which is huge while missing Pesce/Doogie. That 4th line is CLICKING...Geekie want remain a Cane! Troch is definitely looking rejuvinated and hungry. SVECH IS A BEAST! Between him and Aho we finally know what it's like to have true stars on the ice that just make things happen (last time we saw that was during prime EStaal years maybe). Nino might still be streaky with scoring, but he's doing a lot of little things right (like saving a goal) and I thought mostly noticeable in good ways. Slavin made a few surprise poor/passes bad plays, but dude still owns more often than not. Also, Fleury is definitely showing signs of growth, he's not quite as hand-grenade with the puck, making good plays, getting a bit more physical...could he be a CDH type player as he gets more games?

And again, SVECH IS A BEAST!

Bojangles Parking Lot
The thought of someone showing up at a Bojangles parking lot in the middle of the night to take a picture with the pig only to get the **** beat out of them is making me laugh much harder than it should.

Like something out of a Sopranos type show.

He knows something's not right when the pig is the only one who doesn't get out of the car.

What has happened to you? This is positively timid. And most negatively at that. Stop watching those Titanic and other catastrophy movies. Come back! I say.
