GDT: Game 1 - 25 years and all we have is 1 Cup to show for it - Canes vs BJs

[Negan4Coach]

So I'll be there. Does anybody know when the Metro banner gets hung? Like a half hour prior to puck drop or what?

 

[The Faulker 27]

Let's see what this team of geriatrics can do. Also, I'm drinking for every Necas turn over. Probably should just take the day off tomorrow.

Go Canes!

We back! WoOooooOoo!

Focused mainly on my Yankees right now (ducks rocks from the crowd), but pumped for a new season. Hoping Koko has a big year

Good thing you ducked, that wasn't a rock it was a grenade from this Guardian fan.

Anyway. Most important game of the season!

Assuming no sarcasm, the banner was already raised during the summer. It's parallel to the long side of the scoreboard.

I'm unreasonably psyched to see the throwback jerseys in action

Directly across from the Central division champions banner.

You know, given we are getting more and more banners, I wonder if it would be worth going back to the banner arc they had before the Cup banner was raised, that you can kind of see in this panorama from the 2006 Game 7

Also, its really f***ing stupid that NC State has 2 banners for each of their basketball National Championships hanging in PNC. Like WTF

I've had that same question for a long time. My completely unfounded assumption is that they must have kept banners from Reynolds and then also raised new ones when they opened PNC. It doesn't make much sense and I've actually seen people get confused about how many titles NC State has won because they're just counting banners and not looking at the dates.

The men will come down with jackets blue and they shall be colored red.

We all know the reason is because they want to look like they have the same history of success as UNC and Duke, and have a little banner envy over it.

Its just sad. Get rid of the duplicates. If you want to have ones from Reynolds hanging, hang them back up in Reynolds.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Just finished my final chemo appointment so I’m gonna take a nap so I’m ready for the game later.

So glad hockey is back. Go canes!

This almost seems like there is a story behind the duplicates. Like maybe they got duplicates as backup, some technician was told "hang 2 of them" and he did exactly that. Then some committee Galaxy brain thought it looked good.
