Anyone know if Rudino’s rooftop (on Strickland road, near Six Forks) is still going strong? We used to watch a lot of games there.

I particularly remember game 1 against Detroit in 2002. That place went crazy.

Google Maps has them as still operating.

I remember being there with my dad during that run, think it was the Montreal series the game after Miracle at Molson. That was a fun atmosphere, not even sure how he/we found the place.

that triggered a bar memory from that series...

the game after the miracle at molson was a home game, so i was in the esa for that one. but the next road game my group was at a place on hillsborough street across from meredith college. it is the brickhouse now, i think it was playmakers then. i probably haven't been back in that place since 2002, damn.

anyway, the atmosphere in there for that game was insane, but i assume that was pretty universal anywhere in raleigh watching us put up 5 goals in the first. i wanted more goals just to bury the habs after some prick in montreal had thrown a banana on the ice at kevin weekes. i have a vague memory of cole having a goal disallowed that would have given him a hat trick (in the first period maybe?). i drank between 1 and infinity beers.

that's the story of how i spent my 25th birthday.
