Crowds are back, best crowd?

[hockeynjune]

Does Mississippi even have hockey?

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I don't think you know what this means

Here, it's a foreign concept to you, so I'll help you out.

fact
/fakt/
noun
a thing that is known or proved to be true.

For example, it is known and proved to be true that the North Carolina coast is a common target for hurricanes.

 

[5minutemajor]

What is this, the Weather Channel?

 

[tarheelhockey]

I don't think you know what this means

Yes, I do. Observable facts are things you can observe. Like the fact that North Carolina has been struck by nearly 3 times as many hurricanes as Mississippi, and the fact that they have had a nearly identical number of major hurricane strikes.

You can argue against these facts, but they are observable and therefore provable. This concept is commonly accepted in places where people learn the scientific method.

 

[The S5]

Yes, NC is well known for the major storms that have hit over the past 40 years or so.

Maybe if atlanta ever gets a franchise again they can be called the blizzards

Yep, no hurricanes in NC and, clearly, no schools in Mississippi.

 

[drktmplr12]

Dead wrong. When the team was named, North Carolina had been hit with more Hurricanes than any other state (though Florida has since taken the lead). We get a LOT of them, some quite deadly. Hurricane Fran killed 27 people and did about $5 billion of damage the year before the Hurricanes moved to NC. Hell, the last major hurricane strike was in 2018 with Florence causing around $24 billion in damage and killing over 50 people. Oh, and last year Hurricane Isaias hit NC while the Hurricanes were playing hockey in the bubble.

i heard there aren't even any penguins in Pittsburg, or kraken in Seattle

They did until a hurricane destroyed their arena.

(not a joke, RIP Sea Wolves)

 

[radkison]

Sure dude. Proof of concept falls on you.

Your claim is that "North Carolina doesn't hit by hurricanes." Go ahead and present your evidence.

Because mine is Isiasas in 2020, Dorian in 2019, Florence in 2018, etc. Or, as stated earlier, Fran in 1996, the year before the hockey team moved to NC and the main reason for calling the team the Hurricanes.

two cat 1s and a cat 2 in the 2000's? People on the gulf coast call those thunderstorms

Never said hurricanes never occur there, again, they're not as common as you're trying to make them out to be

This you?

why do the hurricanes do the skol chant?

and why are they the hurricanes anyway? They aren't any hurricanes in nc

Oh my this is sad

Not sure why you even are comparing the 2 states, as that was never my argument, but 300 miles of shoreline vs 40 would likely produce more landfalls. Math and all

Depends on what you consider a "major" storm is. Which we obviously differ on.

FACTS are storms weaken immensely in your area as opposed to what happens in the gulf.

everyone agrees on what a major storm is. its a CAT3 or higher. some of the most destructive storms were not even CAT3. hell, Matthew didn't even make landfall and it absolutely wrecked NC.

 

[radkison]

This you?

Fair, but not meant to be taken literal

 

[King K Rool]

From what I've seen so far it's gotta be the Panthers and Hurricanes.

Look out for Climate Pledge Arena in the future. That roof is metal and very low and it's going to bounce sound all over the place

The definition of a major storm is not up for debate.

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

You've made some ridiculous statements in this thread and don't seem to have the good sense to backtrack after being proven wrong.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I wish the Canadian Division could last because the crowds are always the best up North.

But I guess if the Leafs win the cup through the Ontario lockdown, the joke will be Toronto had no fans out when the Leafs won the cup.

We may be on to something here.

 

[shaner82]

No i totally agree, no fans in Canada. But will the American teams be barred from having fans at their home games when facing a Canadian team?

I don't know how it will play out, but the NHL would be turning away revenue by doing that. Companies don't turn away revenue very often.

Plus I think the American teams would complain quite loudly

Then the 3 posted that made landfall this century do not qualify

has their been any hit since 96? serious question

 

[radkison]

We had a minor league team called the MS Surge recently, but the number of hockey fans down here can be counted on 1 hand

If I wanted to go to a minor league game I could go to pensacola

1980–Present[edit]


New inlet created by Hurricane Isabel (USGS)
Main articles: List of North Carolina hurricanes (1980–1999) and List of North Carolina hurricanes (2000–present)
The period from 1980 to the present encompasses 120 tropical or subtropical cyclones that affected the state. Collectively, cyclones in North Carolina during the time period resulted in over $10 billion in damage (2010 USD), primarily from hurricanes Fran and Floyd. Additionally, tropical cyclones in North Carolina were responsible for 77 direct fatalities and at least 44 indirect casualties during the period. Eight cyclones affected the state in the 1985 season, which was the year with the most tropical cyclones striking the state. Every year included at least one tropical cyclone affecting the state.
The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Fran in 1996, which struck near Wilmington as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale; Hurricane Emily in 1993 brushed the Outer Banks also as a Category 3 hurricane.[2] Onslow County was hit on August 27, 1998 by category two Hurricane Bonnie causing heavy rains, flooding, an estimated $480 mil damage and a few deaths. The deadliest hurricane during the period was Hurricane Floyd in1999, which caused 35 fatalities and record–breaking flooding in the eastern portion of the state.[15][16] Hurricane Irene hit the Outer Banks on August 27, 2011 as a Category 1, making it the first of its kind to make landfall since Hurricane Ike in 2008. In 2018, Hurricane Florence made landfall in Wrightsville Beach as a Category 1 storm, causing catastrophic flooding across the state. Dropping almost three feet of rain, it is North Carolina's wettest hurricane. In 2019, Hurricane Dorian made landfall on Cape Hatteras as a Category 2 storm, causing large storm surges to sweep across some islands, particularly Ocracoke.

Pittsburgh crowds are a joke. Especially since moving out of the Igloo.

Hurricanes are well respected here and the team is aptly named. They are really good too. You should check them out and are welcome on the bandwagon.

 

[hockeynjune]

Well that link showed that not a single storm above cat 2 has hit this century

But I'm done arguing with the carolina fans (and one panther white knight)

Feel free to tell the NC folks that lost homes and jobs in those storms that they don't count. I see it a bit differently.
