GDT: Hurricanes 13-2-0 vs Kings 8-6-2 @ The Crypt

[Bunch of Jurcos]

I'm right back here like I left something...

Grief is a strange emotion. From what I read, I thought the stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, were a mostly linear process. I've noticed that I've bounced around a lot. At this moment, I am at an acceptance point so I can write this. Having this time of clarity has given me time to think.

As I continue to watch what's happening with Wanda, I thought about myself for a moment. There are quite a few big changes coming up and then it dawned on me, who am I now? I don't know how often we as people think about it but identity is a huge part of who we are, how we go about our lives, and how we make our decisions. There is a saying that I'm sure everyone's heard but should be repeated here, YOU ARE WHAT YOU CONSTANTLY DO. If you explore the question further you arrive at two more paths: What will benefit me most in the short and long term, and what will make me happy?

These are some really meaty questions that are not easily answered. And our beloved Hurricanes had to answer these same questions just a few years ago. Change started from the top. Tom Dundon came in and took over our team and was pretty much Riley in this scene in Boondocks to the rest of the league:



It took that type of attitude to buck the conventional wisdom of the old boys club and it has seemingly paid off in spades. The hiring of our head coach truly led to our team being where they are now. HC RBA, I've never met the man and I would run through a wall for him. I can't imagine how our players feel. Our commitment to youth and conditioning is a huge factor in how we are able to constantly beat teams in the third period. The way our team is able to keep attacking in relenting waves has played a huge part in wins like against the Golden Knights. There really is no line you can just slack off against us. So if our relentless attacking nature is what we constantly do, what about the other questions?

What will benefit the team in the short and long term are seemingly tied together in relation to the Hurricanes. Investment into our youth academy has paid off in spades. Our scouting, coaching, and medical teams have worked together to create an influx of young, hungry, talented players that years passed would have been rushed to the main team. Now the fight for spots is so tough that even really good prospects have to fight with everything they have to make the main squad. Having those depth players that can fill in when injuries occur and not miss a beat is how we can truly make it to the next level. That ties into my last question, what will make the team happy?

Multiple. Stanley. Cups.

Identity is key when deciding what you want to accomplish. Our ferocious attack and ability to completely shut games down with our depth advantage when needed is how we've chosen to identify ourselves as the Hurricanes and I love it. As for myself, I have a lot of thinking to do. I have a lot of work to do to be the man that I want to be, a good man who made a difference in the world, but at least now I have some direction. I love you all, go Canes, go!

After reading your last GDT and this one, I want to run through a f***ing wall for you my Canes friend. You’re an inspiration.

May the Boys get

Ok, are you actually Chuck Lorre?

 

[hockeynjune]

The King knows the storm comes but has no concept of the storms relentless fury. The King will be vanquished quickly and with no mercy. The storm grows and needs to feed.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

I'm sorry. I don't understand that reference. Can you explain?

 

[VibesAlive]

College football and hockey sounds good for a change.

Beat They Ass

 

[LakeLivin]

I'm sorry. I don't understand that reference. Can you explain?

Sure. From Wikipedia:
Charles Michael "Chuck" Lorre (/ˈlɔːri/;[1] born October 18, 1952)[2][3] is an American television director, writer, producer, composer, and actor.
Called the "King of Sitcoms" during the 2010s,[4][5][6][7][8] he has created and produced sitcoms including Grace Under Fire, Cybill, Dharma & Greg, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, Mom, Young Sheldon, The Kominsky Method, Disjointed, Bob Hearts Abishola, B Positive, and United States of Al. He also served as an executive producer of Roseanne.

At the end of each episode of a tv show there's a "vanity card" that flashes briefly and usually displays
the production companies logo (does the phrase "Sit, Ubu" ring a bell?). But Lorre, instead, puts in a short blurb on whatever topic is on his mind that week. They're well written and range from insightful to humorous. Some of your GD starters remind me of his cards (that's a compliment). Here's a couple examples:

 

[Derailed75]

Game day! Gotta work today but should be off by 3.

 

[AD Skinner]

I watched a little nhl network this morning and heard Johnson and Rupp both refer to the canes as the best team in the league repeatedly. It was pretty cool

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Bring it on!
Btw what's the expected line-up?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Bring it on!
Btw what's the expected line-up?

Svech-Aho-Jarvis
Teravainen-Trocheck-Necas
Nino-Staal-Fast
Martinook-Kotkaniemi (or Stepan)-Lorentz

Slavin-Bear
Skjei-Pesce
Cole-DeAngelo

Unsure if it will be Andersen or Raanta in net.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Im guessing this is Raanta’s game and the next 2 are Andersen’s

 

[LostInaLostWorld]

2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+0+2+0+2+2+2+2=28

Win pls.

Thx in advance.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Bummed I may have to miss beginning of this game and only because of the switch to ESPN+... Have a flight delayed and by the time I get rental car and everything and make it to where I’m staying it’ll probably be 4:30-5ish. With nhl.tv in the past I could turn off scores and just start the game from the beginning but ESPN decided to take a step back from the system that was already in place. Really annoying

 

[surfzone365]

Not saying this is a trap game but hope the boys come out ready for the Kings. Its easy to ride a high from beating the Knights and Ducks. We seem to do well in LA, hope the trend continues. Crown 'em!

 

[42]

Im guessing this is Raanta’s game and the next 2 are Andersen’s

It'll be Andersen. He's only played one game in a row and he's been relied on heavily so far. I don't think we see Raanta until the b2b against Seattle and Boston.

 

[Borsig]

I hope we don't do to Andersen what we did to Ward. Then again our system and D is different.
