Expecting a sloppy, slow footed loss. Would be the most Hurricanes thing if they played a great game that we get at least a point out of.

Isn't that the least Hurricanes thing? Or reversed roles?

Well, . . .

Really looking forward to see what Bean does. He's been seasoned enough that once he gets over possible initial jitters I hope to see some real positives out of the kid. I do wish Slavin was there as a mentor, though. Both Slavin and Pesce mentioned how much Liles helped them when they first came into the league, and I could see Slavin actively playing a similar role with someone like Bean.

So I've decided that I am going to take the Carolina Panthers/Charlotte Hornets/UNC M Basketball 2019-present way of watching the game where the points are made up and the outcome doesn't matter. So here is a fun drinking game for those who will endure tonight's "fun"...

Title: Fear and Loathing in PNC
-Drink each time: Tripp mentions Taco Bell, Harvard, an ex girlfriend, or timeout
-Necas falls down
-Jordo flubs a shot
-Captain wins a draw
-A drop pass leads to nothing/turnover
-Svech does something jaw dropping
-A shot for each penalty minute...hopefully there's an early fight
-Geekie doesn't get my promised 1.5 goals
-Anytime someone says stretch pass. Nothing wrong with the stretch pass itself but I think about stretch pants and how comfy they are and it reminds me I am starting to get old.

You play this drinking game I promise that you will have no worries about the game.

Jesus, first off I dont liquor I beer and thats a whole lot of getting up to pee right there. 2nd I dont think the store has enough of what I drink for me to watch and play this game. I drink Beale's Gold out of Bedford VA and Foodlion only has 2-3 8 packs on the shelf at a time. Just between Tripp, Necas, and Stall I would need at least 40 beers.

Perhaps we should wait to see how he does in his first game not calling it remote? Also, why do you have the same avatar pic as Jurcos (or Jurcos the same as you)? Also, I don't drink, so what am I to do?

Im in the boat that thinks Mike has been pretty good, hes no John Forslund but then again who is. But he has been pretty good considering he is trying to call PBP from the same video feed we get. I am excited to see what he brings to a live game. I will say hearing him and Tripp try and figure out if Turbo was on the bench against the Preds from that video feed was pretty comical. They should have the athletic trainers pass along info like this when the broadcast team is doing the game remotely

RuPaul is on the 4th line?

God help our D without Slavin...

This is what having a 5-deep left side should help with. I'm more concerned about the offense tonight than the defense. There's way more players missing up front than in the back, and Dougie and Pesce are healthy. Hopefully Brindy has a game plan tonight.

Any one of those on its own is enough to get one drunk by the end of the 1st

How many minutes does the McCormick-Geekie-Rempal line get? I'm going to guess 2-3 shifts a period.

I made the avatar during the playoffs after Svech fought Ovi. In the bigger picture it has "Avenge the Fallen" because Avengers Infinity War had not too long come out and it fit the pictures of those who had died. I just haven't changed it since then.

Makes sense. As you can see, I don't exactly quickly change my playoff avatar either. It was just funny seeing two posters with the same pic commenting on the same thing right next to each other.
