You know who is going to piss of Sidney Crosby? Playoff Travis Konecny.

Perfect screen grab by @blackburn.bsky.social

I know they slayed 1+ OT demons last year but its nice to see the Canes win a game in 1+ OT AND against a goalie standing on his head. #CarolinaCulture

Let Kochetkov start tomorrow. #CarolinaCulture

Flyers get jobbed on that one. Some chicken wing nonsense from Legault on that. #CarolinaCulture

Struggling with the work/WW3 balance.

Back to backs with travel with less than 24 hours between pick drops should be banned #CarolinaCulture

3 years left on the contract, early 30s, team that probably wants to get rid of him, Canes, here is my submission for the goalie carousel next year. Cap hit might be manageable assuming Ottawa does not retain and Nikishin is the big contract consideration. #CarolinaCulture

Stacked line chart showing the power play percentages for the Carolina Hurricanes in 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 season. It shows the 2024-2025 season starting high and dropping to sub 20%. For 2025-2026 it shows it staying below 20% for some time and then it picks up in the last stretch of the season

New ugly chart. Canes Powerplay vibes.

2024-2025 is skewed by the unsustainable start and the eventual crash out looked worse.
2025-2026 has been sub 20% for the most part but it looks like they are heating up down the stretch.
Will this carry over to the playoffs? We will wait and see

It gets me every time. When the canes look stuck and rigid on the ice, its always frustrating until I see ghost back in the lineup and it always "Oh". That man can move his feet. #CarolinaCulture

Tripp is going to hit full propaganda mode for Selke once Staal hits 20 goals. #CarolinaCulture

This game has been nuts

Hey at least we’re back to the old familiar “Carolina has a goaltending problem” again. #CarolinaCulture

Tripp I don’t know how to tell you this was the most staged fight in the hall of staged fights #CarolinaCulture

So here's a thread that should probably be an essay about sports gambling.

If the Leafs actually sell, Troy Stecher as a puck moving right-handed D but as a 7th D going into the playoffs.
Ryan Strome as an outside shot. Right-shot C with one year left and can score.

I popped out for 2 minutes and Finland scored 2?

It would have been palatable if they said "best skaters" because Binnington is on that team.

I have a newfound appreciation for curling after these Olympics.

In other news, almost saw a guy die at beer league yesterday. Collapsed on the bench but the local league has a policy for captains to be trained in first aid + they had a first responder on the team so the guy made a recovery.

I'm watching just the highlights and its just rush chance after rush chance for Ottawa, Bussi with some wild saves and then suddenly the Canes are up 3-1 for some reason

Like the goalie of the future is out for the season and Freddie temporarily turned into a pumpkin (I maintain he was concussed after that bump from Staal)

It is very much not just me with this feeling but the Canes feel like a team holding on for dear life but then I am surprised every time I look at the standings.
I am chalking it down to the injuries and the fact that Bussi feels like an outlier and it's a 'this is not how we thought it'd go'

To account for goalies, across the years Ned has a Gordie Howe hat trick. Goal with Pit, assist with Canes and fight with Sharks.

I think the NHL should reconsider Calder age limits for goalies.

It would be accurate if they said Ottawa lost both games in overtime but yeah like the Canes are right there. Same black and red uniforms too

The Bears have the pope's personal blessing because I can't explain that touchdown pass any other way.

Hahahahaah, you gotta be shitting me
