Erik Haula sets a very unfortunate record for futility against one team

[Svechhammer]

The absolute kicker for this is that Haula was a member of the Hurricanes 4 years ago and was not at all pleased with his treatment here going so far as to embrace the role of self proclaimed villain whenever his teams played the Canes.

And every year since, as a Pred, Bruin, and Devil, he's ended his season shaking the hand of his former team in defeat.

Ouch

So basically, what you're saying is that if my Jackets pick up Haula, we'll make the playoffs next year?

Probably.

Hell, if someone in the West picks him up they're all but guaranteed to get to the Finals

But not hoist the Cup.

Yeah but they'd be able to pocket 4 rounds of playoff ticket sales

Haula never misses the playoffs.

It is his gift....but also his curse...

Unless they terminate Haula's contract after the 3rd round.

Unless they terminate Haula's contract after the 3rd round.

He would still find a way.

Corey Perry been worse. Lost in three finals with three different teams.

That's one weird way to pronounce it, but I guess he's from Texas rather than Norway.

Don’t mess with the Hurricanes

What are you smoking!!????

Perry has a cup.

 

[Dust]

I was very confused trying to figure out how Nashville lost to Carolina in playoffs, and completely forgot the covid season.

Perry has a cup.

I'm quit smoking five years ago. Smoking is bad for you. And were did I said that he doesn't have cup? Still lost in three finals

Congrats on quitting smoking. You can do anything.

Unless you’re Erik Haula and you want to beat the Hurricanes in the playoffs

Don’t mess with the Hurricanes as my grandpa always used to say

 

[SensontheRush]

A bit of perspective; the Canes only gave Haula 2 days off after his wife had to have a still-borne miscarriage, which soured his relationship with the team.

What a villain.

 

[Sigurd]

It seems... that the third time was not the charm.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

You'll get em next time Haula lol, unless you don't re-sign in NJ then I don't care if you ever beat the Canes.

 

[Kent Nilsson]

I think it’s a cool record.

First I've ever heard this, and you aren't even a Canes fan.

No, I'm pretty sure his relationship first soured because he was demoted in the lineup, and things only escalated from there. Him and his wife made negative public comments about Rod, the city of Raleigh, and the fans, etc.

When did he make negative public comments like that? I don't remember that at all. I do remember some internet-manufactured drama with people speculating about his relationship with Rod and reading narratives between the lines of his wife's Instagram posts.

Just recently the N&O quoted Haula and multiple players (Necas for sure) saying they really don't know why Haula gets singled out for boos the way he does. There was no fanbase-level issue with Haula until the Nashville series, when he got chippy with Necas and the fans latched onto it, because... playoffs. Then the following season, he's on the Bruins and we know how that goes. That's all fine and well in the context of a playoff series, but it somehow became this bigger thing.
