As Hockeymomof2, I'm a mom of 3 & a Hurricanes fan (est '06) whose 2 sons played hockey as kids. Now I go to Canes games with them. Carrboro, NC is home. One of the last 6 old timers who still gets NHL Network. she/her

new postgame routine for this season. I like it.

We're all pulling on the same rope

That was so fun. Under the heading of "Do your job", Canes fans absolutely know what our job is.
Loud and proud, we just overwhelm the opponent in decibels.

The Ping Score last night was 8 - 3, Carolina.

yes!! It was crazy the difference! Miller is only 25? Imagine when he actually knows the system and he and Chatfield develop chemistry? He must be so thrilled he's out of the Rangers org and NY now. He can not only breathe, but actually laugh.

Chatfield must be so thrilled going from Old man Orlov to Miller. Sheez, that's an upgrade from heaven.

Ryan Henkel @ryanhenkel.bsky.social · 10h

It was just one game, but K'Andre Miller looks to be exactly the player the Carolina Hurricanes were hoping for after a dazzling debut. thehockeynews.com/shortUrl/6mz...

Miller Time: K'Andre Miller Dazzles In Carolina Hurricanes Debut

The Carolina Hurricanes knew they had to make a bold move if they wanted to improve their blueline this past offseason after back-to-back years of top-four departures.

Things you hear in the locker room-Jarvis after the scum answering with a “You don’t expect a goal to go in off a bounce.” Miller, done with his scrum and leaving looks back at Jarvy and goes “I HEARD THAT!” Jarvy looks back and laughs “YOU didn’t expect it to go in!”

Totally! Don't miss Orlov and Burns at all. Ghost looks super on the right side

Canes D looking sharp so far.

Not quite feeling it this year. Hope I can find the enthusiasm once the puck drops. #CauseChaos #Redvolution

I'm drawing a blank - help me out, please.
"Sebastian Rock" --- what is the phrase or words they're punning here?

Per @scoutingtherefs.bsky.social, we've got Furlatt and Syvret at Lenovo tonight. With the veteran Furlatt, Canes were 4-0-0 two seasons ago, but winless last season (0-3-1).
Devils at .500 more consistently. As if it matters.

Carolyn O @hmof2.bsky.social · 22h

goodness - missed this last night. 1x$1.5Mil is not nearly what Roslovic thought he'd get in July I'm gonna guess.

I see myself if a few ('Rantanen' is gonna take a while), but yeah, this tier is 100% me

Joe Ovies @joeovies.bsky.social · 1d

Tier 2: "Oops, All Canes" group. This is the fan who only cares about the Canes. Not sports in general. Oh there's a football stadium next door? Basketball played in that building? Never noticed. The Canes, and Canes only. Best encapsulated by this meme.

She's only one of about 10 (and not the first who came to mind). Totally lurking, ready to pounce with a ~quarterly "I told you so", while ignoring the other 88 days of good mojo.

Carolyn O @hmof2.bsky.social · 1d

OMG! I have muted all of them.

Joe Ovies @joeovies.bsky.social · 1d

Tier 3: "Dundon Haters". Highly unique group that has proclaimed, multiple times, they're done with the team because of something Dundon did or didn't do. And yet when the Canes lose, they certainly know about it and take great delight in sharing.

It’s a good slogan for clothing, I hope they’re partnering with this brand. Looks like there’s a Lenovo connection.

after the last 4 weeks, hard to believe they want to emphasize culture here. That's just terrible.

Carolyn O @hmof2.bsky.social · 2d

I was there. Still wearing the new hat I bought that night after I tossed the prior one. :) That was a roller coaster of a game.

update - I went to STM hub at the app, and found it there. And, this morning, I am able to add to my phone's wallet. There it doesn't seem to be dynamic, so maybe I can do a screencap that my coworkers can use when they go to games?

I was able to get there (had to reinstall the app last weekend though). The QR code is dynamic, it changes every minute or so, so it's not able to be a screen capture. I didn't see that it could be added to my phone's wallet either. Need to figure this out for my company who has full season tkts.

Carolyn O @hmof2.bsky.social · 2d

I think that's exactly it - they're so infatuated with the star power of MacKinnon and Makar they don't see the flaws, lack of depth and consistency. (TBL has superstar Vasilevskiy too, and they also elevate the Rangers on Shesterkin, and their memories of Panarin and Zibanejad)
