Mike frequently calls the wrong name. Generally I don't care about stuff like that, but occasionally I'm just left scratching my head.

Glad we took our time and didn’t panic and took care of business against a team they absolutely should beat. Shot differential like normal but also we knocked in a few and didn’t let an inferior team look like they are better than they are.

Reports of the Canes’ demise have been greatly exaggerated?
Glad we didn’t over pay at the deadline given how things have evolved the past few weeks..
will be an interesting playoff run with the team makeup as it is right now….. interesting line combos…
I know we couldn’t really compete with the Florida offer…. But can you imagine if we had blown the model up and severely overpaid like Florida did for Tkachuk? Man he is really showing he was the star of that top line in Calgary.. and what he’s doing in Florida as the season has Gone along…. Gosh would he look good here and we would be a completely different team right now….. sigh… what might have been…..

DeVilles up 4-2, should be 7-2, DeVilles have fanned on wide open nets and the blackdogs are playing to prove that they are the worst team in the league.

Canes 50 shots, only 3 goals? I guess that's sadly actually not bad for this team

Maybe I dumped on chicago too soon, Happytoseeyou just scored to make it 4-3…
We always play against goalies who have .940 save percentages….

tomorrow night when we're playing a team that's not blatantly tanking should be a bit more of an indicator I'd think.
still glad to see us back on the right foot, especially since our competition in the division race is also playing a team that's blatantly tanking tonight, albeit one that's somehow putting up a fight.

For clarity, Aho literally asked Tripp to hit him in the face. So, Tripp gave him a light hit to the face.
Kind of surprising Aho would ask that, but whatever. Kind of strange all around, but I guess they're close enough friends for something like that (like brothers sometimes do).
He's improved, and I really hope he continues to improve. It'd be nice to have one less hole to fill on the roster. That'd mean forward wise, our only big concern is getting a winger for the top 6 (unless an EP tier center becomes available I guess; we go for that 2C upgrade).

This is Hurricanes Hockey
That was acceptable.

It's amazing how losing can twist your mind.
Habs pgt is about wrestlemania, Chris Jericho, and Bambi.

The final form is almost always seen in DBZ/DBS (I'm assuming that's a reference). Gotta drag things out and make it more dramatic. Kind of like the Canes do too often except for rare big leads/wins like tonight.

So he is on par with a national level announcer who called Burns Chatfield 3 times on one shift Thursday night. Kudos to The Big Rig!
Look I get that Chatfield ha some hair but Burns is different.. Sadly I caught a bunch of that from the national guy. Tells me the Big rig is ready

Don’t know which hat you’re talking about but carolinaproshop.com usually has some different options than the nhl store. Shipping is a little pricey though. I’ve seen a few hats the players have that I’m not sure are available to the public though.

Well, ok but Mike only calls the Hurricanes games and is intimately familiar with every player. Like I said I don't really care that much. More or less an observation but every now and then, I wonder how he arrived at the players name he calls when they're not even remotely close in skating/play style let alone appearance (or number).
Overall I like Mike. I think he's a good guy, and glad he has the job. So put your pitchforks away.

Mike is mid. No one was ever going to be able to follow John anyway but he’s not so bad. I do like how he has a few puns that he clearly comes up with in advance and is sitting on waiting for the right moment

The thing with play by play guys that drives me nuts is when they get the player wrong and it isn’t even the correct handedness. Mike does that to his own team and I can’t comprehend how that could be.

Agree 100%. Drives me up a wall. We know the players better than the dude getting paid to know the players.
Ever sat in the press box? It’s … far away. I get it to an extent.

This is the correct take. Mike isn't Forslund. Very few are. He's also far better than the worst people I've heard calling NHL games.
