GDT: Canes @ Big Bads: SCF G6

[Highway29]

Thank you Big Daddy Cane for posting John's call and Mike's too. I hadn't heard either of them. That was something to hear those for me. Thank you.

Really wish Brett was still part of this group for exactly this moment

As I posted to the other thread I truly wish Pesce, Teräväinen especially were still here to be part of this..

Hey good morning everyone how'd you all sleep

My contribution and personal SCF memory is that at the arena watch party I started the full-arena "We Want the Cup!" chant with a couple minutes left

Hey good morning everyone how'd you all sleep

Three hours. Pretty solid, I wanna say.

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Hey good morning everyone how'd you all sleep

3 hrs. My head is pounding but I’m running on big championship energy. Made it to work!

Preseason or regular season?

Preseason or regular season?

Game 1 of playoffs.

Historical footnote: as time expired and players started throwing their gloves and helmets up in the air, Jaccob Slavin calmly unbuckled his helmet and placed it on the ice, so as not to create an unnecessary hazard.

Lower right corner.

Game 1 of playoffs.

Only if the regular season ends in a loss.

Rules, as they say, are rules.

It’s crazy how not “all in” this team is. I don’t think it can be overstated. This team is constructed largely of the “retool” that happened a year ago where we traded a better, more “win now” player for a younger guy and draft picks. Then at this year’s deadline, we did nothing. We acquired a guy we’re going to have to petition to even get his name on the Cup.

Tulsky understands this deck building game in a way that really jives with my sensibilities.

A lot is made about the Tulsky/RBA odd couple.
I don’t think they’re best friends. But there’s a chemistry there that can be summed up by “the machine.” I’ve loved that phrase to describe our system when it’s working. But that’s Tulsky’s approach too.

The machine in the front office created the machine on the ice, and we’ve got all the assets required to do it again. Go find your Marchand, Tulsky. And let’s go do it again.

Gonna need a police report on that one

GSAX is a cumulative stat. The fact that Bussi is up there is outstanding. Right next to Andersen where he should be. The other 3 goalies ahead of Bussi/Andersen are the 3 we beat on the way to the Final.

How did it go with your return flight, @tarheelhockey ?

I lived the last moments of the game and the Stanley Cup presentation with my close family. They don't care about hockey but understood how special that moment was for me. Wow.

 

[tarheelhockey]

How did it go with your return flight, @tarheelhockey ?

Boarding. 🫩

OK where do I get a Carolina Hurricanes flag to hang in front of my house? There’s a dude down the street who’s a Blues fan who hangs his outside that I want to bring to tears!

Get this man a flag. It's for a good cause.

Hanifin getting outmuscled and outworked by a 5'8" center leading to a goal was a lot more enjoyable this time than it was all those years ago.

 

[Bub]

So, given Torts' game 5 promise, will he be bringing his guys to the parade on Saturday?

Canes fans, what is the reaction of the local Raleigh people compared to the 2006 cup win ? People are more aware of the team, the journey of this core, and more invested in this cup win or its about the same ?

I guess two more decades allowed the canes to put deeper Roots and have a bigger cultural/social presence in the city of Raleigh.
