Good game to lose, considering Toronto also lost. But Buffalo got a point, so even better.

That's literally main board thread worthy, but will probably get locked because we don't deserve a team etc.

Hainsey sucks now

Not think the Canes should maybe look to trade him for picks?

I didn't really expect to win last night, but hopefully the Toronto game on Friday will be better.

I'm just glad we had Wolfpuck doing the play by play all game. Better warn Forslund.

Didn't watch, girlfriend doesn't have cable. Passed up a shot at free tickets because, well, this is Raleigh in an ice storm. Even a minor one is a major problem for the roads. So I had to sit through the Les Miserables movie instead.

Did it look like a 12K crowd, or is it more like they distributed 12K and actually scanned a fraction of that at the gates?

On tv the crowd looked pretty damn sparse. Though for the weather I was expecting much less.

Attendance is based on tickets sold/distributed, not actual bodies through the turnstiles, so the number is not surprising. A lot of folks with tickets likely stayed home, especially given that you can exchange it for a ticket to another game.

"Sit through"? Hey, it was no Liam Neeson, but still good

I'm not 100% sure that's the case here though. IIRC the Chicago game a few years back when we got hit by the big ice storm listed about 9K through the gate. I mean, 12K sounds optimistic, but we do have anecdotal evidence that they do take an actual headcount for the games rather then taking the Pitt Football route of attendance.
