“We haven’t announced the slogan and it kind of leans into the negative PR we’ve been getting lately…”

People are going to talk about McDavid’s contract being extremely team friendly, and rightly so, but man that’s a sweet deal for Ekholm. Love him as a player, even at 34.

Former Canes PTO Kevin Labanc heading over to Russia, or China more specifically, where he’ll join future Canes Hall of Famer Greg McKegg
Tweet reading “Kevin Labanc has signed a one-year contract with the Shanghai Dragons (KHL). Will play under Gerard Gallant.”

Would anyone want my two tickets to the Canes STM All Access event tonight at Lenovo Center? I know it’s short notice but it is what it is. Send me a DM if interested.

Looks like Jaaska’s healthy enough to officially be sent down. He’s been in Chicago already for a little while.

goalies are voodoo - there’s only like five that are considered to be top tier and every one of them has had their value called into question in the last five years or so

One thing I’ve learned looking at other social media platforms is that people are very very obsessively concerned with losing a third string goaltender with a 13-23-7 record, 3.77 GAA and .884 sv% over 55 career NHL games

The Workrate Hockey newsletter went out at 7am this morning. In it we talk about Doug Warf, Cayden Primeau, waiver timing, and the song of the day is a thrash metal power ballad. They exist, I swear. Subscribing is free and warms my heart subcockles workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

Dude signed on with the thought that he could potentially play NHL games this season. Considering he’s currently fifth on the depth chart and I’m sure the KHL would gladly have him back, I think a mutual termination could very well be in his future.

Guys, Amir Miftakhov isn’t going to be a member of the organization by December 1st

(does anyone know the ranking order for waiver claims? Is it by points last season or draft order, when Carolina was in the Final 4?)

Hello friendos

It would be terrible if you told people about Books Unbanned, a program to get free library cards into the hands of teens and young adults anywhere in the country so they can access e-copies of frequently banned materials.

Freedom to read.

Regardless must support any acquisition of a #GoodLongIslandBoy

Bussi seems like he could be a plan B if Primeau gets claimed, but Bussi would then need to get sent down as well, & if Florida re-claimed him and no one else claimed him, Bussi would go back to Charlotte without being waived again. Of course, Carolina @ Florida could work out a deal, but let’s wait

The #Canes have acquired goaltender Brandon Bussi off waivers.

We've also placed goaltender Cayden Primeau on waivers for the purpose of reassignment.

I never thought about it until I stumbled upon Gatchaman and I’m like WAIT

If you see this, QRP with a gif of your first ever anime.

Good ol’ Battle of the Planets aka “G-Force” on the playground. I later found Gatchaman and the “real” version of the show and that kind of blew my mind with the actual violence and the killing and the gender swapping main villain.
