11 in a row?

Mind blown

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

The scars of the past run too deep. No amount of winning will change that.

that's dumb. The scars of the past are from a totally different front office and coach, at a time when they were bottom of the league in spending.

Trust me, as a life long Chicago Cubs fan and life long Green Bay packer's fan, I know about scars of the past and how quickly they heal.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Seek help. They’ve won 10 games in a row.

My

I mean, we're still taking dumb penalties. It's just instead of Trocheck and Cole, it's KK and DeHann.

Or it's a bench penalty, which is a team dumb penalty.

CDH has 7 minor penalties in 30 games … and I know he for sure had 2 in one game recently.

So 5 minors in 29 games.

 

[MisterDobz]

Fun one, hope the 45 games left until the playoffs are all this much fun!

 

[Unhinged Finn]

Wife woke up in third period and asked why I had a hat. I said I was on a Stepan hattrick watch. Wife confused.

*Tom Dundon, Borg, HCRBA, Canes staff and doctors, and every Canes player that laces it up, hurt or not, night in and night out, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. It's not a Cup (yet), but you've kept our franchise here in Raleigh, made it fun as hell to be a fan, and made other fanbases hate us cuz they ain't us. Finally, Buffalo Sabers suck. They didn't do anything but anytime is a good time to point that out.

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Not talked about enough how much our PK time decreased after just two guys got moved out of the roster.

Feel like there’s been like a 70% decrease in dumb penalties this year. Even think Svech has gotten much better too..

Through 36 games:
Last year: 360 PIMs
This year: 284

The Canes are the Canes!

I prefer the boring ones where our goalies get shutouts and our players pot lots of goals.

 

[chaz4hockey]

I like how you assume the guy that's had injury troubles his entire career isn't just injured, but rather he's out because "he doesn't want to play"

Totally off this topic but tied to your job. I was watching a game the other night (Dallas maybe) in which for each player they showed a graphic on the screen with their shootout goals/attempts/%.

Can't the Canes production do that too?

 

[SoupNazi]

Just caught the replay.

We might have a really good team.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

I also forgot to mention THIS ISN'T EVEN OUR FINAL FORM!!!

 

[hockeynjune]

We are starting to really jell as a team, good stuff incoming.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

We haven't had a team this good since our Cup year...and Pacioretty isn't even back yet! Some people need to stop acting like it's 2011 just because a few players had off days today. Folks, we've won our 11th straight! I don't want to read the boards when we inevitably finally lose a game!

What we put on screen is entirely dependant on what the producer wants. The Canes haven't been part of a lot of shootouts, but from what I remember, they don't take anything in the shootouts. Maybe tags over the player, but it's rare.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

To refine the penalty stats

Minors taken through 36
21-22: 133 (6 bench as well) 4.06 penalties taken per 60
22-23: 133 (4 bench as well) 3.8 penalty taken per 60

We have created 10 more penalties this season than last season.

Wait, what? One of these things is not like the other. . .

Not really. Most of the kids I grew up with were Packers and Cubs fans. I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan but just a few blocks from Wisconsin. My Mom was from Wisconsin and my Dad from MI. I lived just under 2 hours from Green Bay and 4.5 hours from Chicago but almost 10 hours from Detroit. Most were Packer's fans and either Cubs or Brewers fans. There was the few oddballs that were Lions and Tiger's fans, but Detroit was 10 hours away so proximity wise, the Packers, Brewers and Cubs were the closest teams.

My Dad was a diehard Cubs fan so I became a Cubs fan. Also, the only baseball we got to see as kids was WGN on cable with the Cubs so it only re-enforced it.

EDIT: and my brother and I had our own "sandlot" experience. We needed a baseball one day so played one day with my Dad's baseball which was signed by all the 69 Cubs, including Ernie Banks. He, thankfully, didn't get mad. I often wonder what happened with that ball.

BTW, the record for the calendar year 2022 was 56-19-13.

 

[hockeynjune]

Poll needs more options this is not a binary question especially when you add time travel into the mix.

What?

What I was questioning was the huge difference between the history of those 2 franchises with respect to winning and scars. GB has more NFL championships than any other team. The Cubs were almost the epitome of losing (across all sports) for most of our lifetimes.

I certainly don't question being a fan of any 2 teams from different areas. Growing up, my favorite teams were the Packers, Celtics, SF Giants, and Canadiens (wasn't a hockey fan, only watched the Stanley Cup).

edit: as far as that Cubs signed baseball, lol

Yes, but if you're a certain age (like me and I believe BBA), when you were a kid the Packers sucked. Capital-S Sucked. There were some fun offensive years in the early-to-mid 80s when Lynn Dickey was the QB, but from a surprise playoff appearance in '72 until they got good with Favre, there was a whole lot of misery and mediocrity.

(Which, admittedly, doesn't compare to the Cubs generations of loss during the 20th century.)

Antti Raanta cares not for save percentage, only fat dubs.

I think you are missing that it was about the timeframe of fandom when it comes to the Packers.

I wasn't born or was too young to remember the glory days of NFL championships. I grew up when the Packers absolutely stunk. From 1968 to 1993, the Packer's made the playoffs only 2 times. We forget that now with the success once Favre and Rodger's arrived, but it was absolutely abysmal before that. So 26 years, 2 playoffs which is what I'm referring to. The Cubs had zero playoffs until 84 and 89.

So throughout my childhood and into my 20s, the two teams I followed the most had only 4 playoff appearances in ~25 years.

That's what I'm referring to when I say I know all too well about the scars of losing. I was almost 30 before one of those teams, the Packers, finally won a championship.

Gotcha. Still sounds funny to hear the two lumped together with respect to losing, though.
