Canes sweep three-game road trip

by Michael Smith @MSmithCanes / CarolinaHurricanes.com
The Hurricanes snapped a four-game losing streak in a big way last week and have since rattled off four straight wins. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour, though, had this to say on Monday: "We dissect the crap out of it. That's the nature of it. We played better in the four games we lost than the three games we won, but nobody is really going to talk about that. We weren't very good the other night but got a win. It's all about wins, but we've got to get better."
The Canes, then, were markedly better in Chicago and also got the win, exactly what the head coach wants to see - at least, in the first 50 minutes of the game.
"That was a great game," Brind'Amour said. "I thought the two periods we played as good as we probably could have."
"We let up for a second," Brind'Amour said. "All of a sudden, they got some momentum. .. They got right back in the game suddenly, but we hung in there."
Recap: Canes Hold On in Chicago to Win Fourth Straight

Bob and Lois Edmundson sound like the middle-aged couple down the street that everybody knows and thinks is nice but there's always been rumors that they were swingers

SOUNDS LIKE YOU KNOW ONE SUCH A COUPLE... OR YOU ARE A PART OF ONE.

Yeah but I think in weird ways... I also Capitalize in very erroneous ways...

WELL, I CAN GIVE YOU LESSON ON BIG LETTERS IF YOU WANT.

"... but those who never win and never quit are idiots."

SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA QUIT TO GET SH^T DONE.

Start with saying SOUL backwards, and continue from there.

You seem to be very close actually, just say -re- instead of -ree- as Finn names have press on the first syllable only.

Finn syllable breaks go like "Luos-ta-ri-nen".

I THINK ENGLISH SPEAKERS HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE CONCEPT OF SAYING LETTERS THE EXACT SAME WAY AS THEY ARE WRITTEN.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

WE ARE 5/6 OF THE WAY INTO THE STATE OF GAME WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

MRÁZEK SHOULD HAVE HAD THE SECOND ONE, BUT HE STILL HAD A REALLY GOOD GAME.

GOOD TO SEE NINO GO OFF.

WHAT KINDA BOTHERS ME THAT DOUGIE AND JACCOB DIDN'T HAVE THAT KANE BREAKAWAY.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Not sure she’s wrong tho. Hawks turned it on big time when it got to 3-2 but the Canes were very lazy and complacent to let it get to 3-2.

Also she’s a hockey babe so ya gonna probably side with her most of the time

I wasn’t disagreeing with her point. Pointing out the three scenarios I have seen when someone says something not in 100% agreement to her post. the best is when she goes into her Twitter is demon site rants.

 

[Svechhammer]

Disagreeing with Sara leads to three different scenarios:
1. I am still right response
2. Twitter is a hell hole response
3. The hoards of high horse D bags coming to her defense.

Yes because every woman in the media loves it when guys come in to mansplain things their tiny little female minds can't comprehend.

I follow her on Twitter and she gets that kind of reply quite regularly with anything she posts to the point where it's clear there is a large segment out there who resents her covering the team simply because she's a woman. And the fact she's attractive makes it even worse for the mysogonists.

So now if you are going to disagree with her publicly on the forum she's regularly attacked on for just existing, be prepared to take flak from her followers who are very used to smacking down stupidity.

Good news is that the team is playing better and were still getting W's when not playing their best.
Svech had around 5-6 prime scoring chances last night. I know he likes his teammates, but he needs to be a little more selfish.
Aho is starting to play really good hockey. I think he is going to have a stretch where he puts up a ton of points.
I don't get to watch many Hawk games, but you can appreciate just how good Kane is when he wants to impose his will.

I don't tweet much at all, but do follow certain people, including Sara, so that I can stay up to date on things. I do see a LOT of what you say, people nit picking a lot of her posts and many times, it's seemingly uncalled for. What I don't know, is how much of that (the nitpicking, not "mansplaining idiots") is because of the reasons you laid out or, or because of how much she tweets and what she tweets. Not dismissing what you said, I just don't read that many replies and don't follow enough people to know.

Guys like Mike Smith and Chip Alexander seemingly rarely get it, but frankly, they are pretty vanilla and boring in what they post all together so I don't expect it. A guy like Adam Gold, otoh, tends to get shit a lot because he's a more colorful character and tweets things that are a bit more controversial, opinionated and even contrarian from time to time. Sara, to me, kind of falls closer to Gold IMO. She tweets on a LOT of stuff, some of which is controversial and opinionated, so she gets more replies (thus more idiots replying) and more people (not idiots) disagreeing with it as well. I'm sure there's a an element of what you say, people resenting her because of who she is and the job she got as we've even seen that to an extent on our own board, but I can't always tell how much of it is due to that.

I try to ignore, or at least gloss over, most of what she tweets simply because I have no interest in it if it isn't directly related to the Canes, but I do like her coverage of the Canes, even if it's not as in depth as I'd like. Maybe it's because it's been years of really just Chip Alexander covering them with an occasional drive-by from Luke, that it's refreshing to see someone actually trying to get more insight and providing more coverage on things so I admit, my view could be skewed because it's just "more coverage", but so far, I tend to like her coverage for the most part. I still would like even more in depth and even critical, analysis and coverage of the Canes, but 1) The Canes haven't had much to complain about since she started covering them and 2) I do get that she needs to build up a relationship with the team so that she can get anything so she can't go in guns blazing. Will be interesting to see (if she sticks around) how the coverage evolves over time, particularly when the road for the Canes gets a little rougher.

Good post. You're right, its a mix, but I guess I've just seen a lot of the idiocy when I read her replies, but then again, I like to scroll down and see just how, to cop a phrase, triggered, some people are whenever she says anything.

I appreciate how she doesn't take Twitter too seriously. She drops a lot of good knowledge bombs from time to time, but for the most part, its nice seeing someone allow us a little peek behind the curtain of the franchise from time to time. I have always found coverage of this team to be dry, boring, and with resentment it was taking the writer away from covering NCSU, Duke, and UNC, so its refreshing to see someone actually enjoy the sport, and enjoy the team they are following.

This team likes to smoke crack before they play defense in the third period.

METH. Crack is so 1990.

I would take the time to answer this, but it's Wednesday, which means I have a shipment of lotions, chains and donkeys that I need to go see about right now.

It’s tough, because she put up with a lot of **** during the whole Aho/Montreal saga. And I think that’s led her to be more willing to “weaponize” her Twitter following. It’s a bad look, but most of the time, it’s against people who do more than just “disagree.”

And it’s not just her who does it. I got into it with Maniscalco over Twitter a week or two ago and quickly regretted it. He didn’t do it intentionally, but anytime you disagree with a “personality”, their followers are going to join in.

I've seen her weaponize her following when people come at her, but quote-tweeting isn't automatically an aggressive move. It's pretty much the only way you can create conversation that isn't buried in the replies to an aging tweet.

One of the few advantages an old school message board has over social media. You can read through and follow a narrative over a long period of time. On Twitter, you have to keep pushing things to the top or it ceases to be a conversation.

I hate to be that guy, but I honestly feel if she didn’t put sexy selfies as her pic on Twitter she may avoid some of that. I can’t tell if she’s trying to pick a fight about stereotypes or she just wants to have a sexy pic on her account.

I’m a dude. Half the time I gawk at the pic and don’t really pay that much attention to whatever she’s arguing about.

Buuuuuuuuusted.

Come for the hot takes. Stay for the subtle seduction via pooch.

 

[Svechhammer]

I feel like I'm missing half of the conversation right now

lol oh wait, nevermind, figured it out.

 

[bleedgreen]

Seriously though. I don’t believe in fashion oopsies from a woman like Sara, especially with social media. There’s a reason that’s her pic. She wants the arguments. She wants that guy to come and say something stupid so she can do what she does. She’s the defender of women in her field, she wants to show her hockey brain is as big as yours whether it is or not. This is her job, and she’s very social media savvy. After I looked at the pic for the I swear only the fourth time, I was honestly a little annoyed. I’m looking for something about my team I didn’t know, not sexual revolution or empowerment of anyone/anything. My personal opinions on her journalism are based on the first fifty things she wrote for us, which was long before I saw any pic.

Bob Mack is one of the only hockey figures I’ve ever seriously followed. If he was thirty years younger and his Twitter pic was a topless bathroom selfie showing off his abs I’d swipe left and move on with my day.

I don't think the selfies, intentionally sexy or otherwise, irks people as much as does what euphenistically is called "political commentary", which I believe are her posts getting most flak.

I personally don't wish social media accounts associated with my sports team actively delve with non-sports-related societal issues known to be controversial and raise ado. It's a part of bigger social media issue where bloggers namely blogging of something else nowadays exceedingly want to use their blog for overtly soapboxing on stuff of their personal political interest.

Jesus, this is the social media equivalent of saying she deserved the sexual assault for wearing sexy clothes. Its basically saying she's not qualified to speak about sports and be taken seriously unless she purposely hides her looks. Pretty much the exact misogynistic bullshit she has to deal with time and time again online.

Like, this says more about you than her. A lot more.
