GDT: Tony D won't be visiting YOUR CAROLINA HURRICANES tonight because he speared someone in the Tony D

[Anton Dubinchuk]

cosign on the spoiled thing. some of you wouldn't have survived watching pavel brendl torching darts on the bench between shifts and jan hlavac in general. we didn't have a "farm system" or "practice space" but we made it work.

Was at Jan Hlavac hat trick game against the Wings and it was a “foundational memory” game of my childhood.

I remember watching that game and believing we had gotten the "Czechmates" version of Hlavac and it only went steeply downhill from that moment.

MFERS act like they forgot about Derek Joslin

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Yeah, we’re spoiled.

This board used to be almost entirely about hoping that Boychuk, Bowman, Terry, Dalpe, Borer, Carson, Biega, Alt, etc. would lead us to the promised land someday.

And nowadays it’s like “how’s Drury doing in Chicago? f*** idk. Former first round pick Suzuki, he’s starting to pick up the pace and may be an NHL player someday again? Cool I guess, idk how he’d get a spot but if you say so.”

I remember the days when we were hyped for our defensive pipeline of Brett Carson, Casey Borer, and Bryan Rodney.


Although, to be fair, Borer's career was really derailed by that bus crash. Hard to believe that was 15 years ago now.

I see a distinct lack of respect for JerOME SamSON.

 

[Vagrant]

I was dead convinced that Magnus Kahnberg was the answer to our Top 6 until he was a throw in to the Doug Weight deal. Niklas Nordgren as well. Tommy Westlund was just waiting for his moment to really elevate his game.

Right. Prospects and ELCs are luxuries now rather than necessities. I will say that if Suzuki and Drury pan out as NHL players next season, however, that the 2024 offseason will become that much easier.

That one still rankles me a bit, too. he was a volume shooter when we couldn't get any offense going and thought he could have done well with an opportunity.

And then he came up and…didn’t shoot.

It is weird to see Canes' castaways playing big minutes on other teams. Brock McGinn is on Anaheim's first line, Phil Di Giuseppe is still somehow employed by an NHL team...

 

[htdoc]

I'm sitting here committing involuntary ticks and shudders of my head reading these posts. Trying to keep the volume down from outbursts that qualify as severe tourettes...

Damn PTSD is very real... all that therapy to try to block out those dark b years and it all goes to waste as all the nightmares aboit that time come flooding back .

Yes we are totally spoiled now. It could be so much worse and has been for many previous seasons..

I need to go lie down now..

"Carolina doesn't have a deep farm system and doesn't have great depth at the NHL level. Why don't college UFAs see this as an opportunity for immediate playing time?"

"Oh, that's the type of player that sees Carolina as an opportunity for immediate playing time."

He was good, but he was no Jakub Petruzalek

Don't forget our 2011 All Star Jamie McBain.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Over the past 3 seasons, the Canes have a .721 points percentage. That's tracking to be the best 3 consecutive season stretch post-lockout. I should note that sample size varies; there's possibly some bias towards teams in the shortened pandemic era. Still, the club exceeds all contemporaries. Other .700 club members:

05/06 - 07/08 Detroit - .715
17/18 - 19/20 Tampa - .712
18/19 - 20/21 Tampa - .709
19/20 - 21/22 Colorado - .704
20/21 - 22/23 Boston - .704

Met his mom at a game in Toronto. She didn’t like me.

I am more concerned about injuries at this point. Some teams appear to be adding a little extra mustard here and there during their race to the bottom

 

[Discipline Daddy]

Pretty sure that was Sanheim--#6 and not Provorov #9---but laying on the ice all game, I guess it would depend on which end of the ice you were on... After the 20th time of doing it, I was hoping somebody would grant his wish and put a puck into his ribs.

Yes thank you. I confused the #6s and #9s about two players going down and one of them being anti-pride.



Now that you say that it does make sense. The guy was huge, and it was the 6'4" guy and not the 6'1" Provorov.

Who? was he an all time great?

Gregory Hoffman is better.

Was that DaveG’s boy?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Was that DaveG’s boy?

Not sure. I could be wrong, but I think Tarheel was the one lobbying for Samson over him though.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I was pretty high on Tolchinsky. Made an effort to check out a bunch of his junior games whenever the greyhounds played in the GTA.
