News and Notes Part 13: Waddell has bought a house in Raleigh

[Joe McGrath]

Ben Folds version of *****es Ain't **** is the greatest musical achievement of the last 20 years. Ok so maybe I'm exaggerating a little.

I just want you all to know, that I will enjoy a hearty laugh if Vegas gets a team and QC doesn't

They should totally use Ace of Spades by Motörhead as their goal song.

For the first and only time, ESPN has noticed the existence of the Carolina Hurricanes' 7th defenseman.

[Hockeywatching]

yep, that is the one

Just to confirm it was this song as the goal song last night and it seemed like they used the bit from 1:13-1:30.

 

[Novacane]

I'm sorry but that's just terrible.

 

[Swag Surf Aho]

Same melody as the chorus for Timber by Ke$ha but since there's more notes or syllables, avicii did a good enough job of disguising it as to where it didn't strike me immediately. But since it's just the bridge after the chorus, that has the potential to be a great goal song or even worse than Chelsea Dagger.

 

[Ole Gil]

That generic sound is very popular right now. Seems like another safe intelligent move by the front office. A decision that reminds me a bit of the jersey selection.

The weirdness is being filtered out of the organization. It's vanilla, but average joe is comfortable with vanilla.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I really hope that sounds A LOT better on an arena sound system than my laptop.

 

[nobuddy]

i actually like it a lot, for the reasons wally stated.

 

[Novacane]

It sounds like you're going for a stroll in the meadows, not that you're at a hockey game

Slavin, Pesce, McGinn and Ryan to Charlotte, Fleury to Red Deer.

 

[What the Faulk]

That goal song makes me think I'm literally anywhere else but at a hockey game, but maybe it'll grow.

So, what are we thinking for lines? I'll admit, I haven't followed camp *that* much to see how things currently stand.

So, what are we thinking for lines? I'll admit, I haven't followed camp *that* much to see how things currently stand.

Just based on last night's game, I'd imagine they're going to start off with basically the same lineup for the forwards.

Lindholm-EStaal-Versteeg
Gerbe-J. Staal-Nash
Skinner-Rask-Terry
Nestrasil-McClement-Nordstrom

Don't know about the defense, with Hainsey being hurt. If he's healthy I'd guess something like

Hainsey-Faulk
Hanifin-Wiz
Liles-Murphy
Jordan

If he's out for the opener I have no idea what BillPeto will do.

 

[What the Faulk]

Wait, Lindholm is on the left side?

That defense is pretty much as expected, though.

 

[DaveG]

I could have sworn that was the other way around, Versteeg on the left and Lindy on the right.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Yeah, you guys are right. That's what I get for trying to type that all out without checking.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So does it look likely Nordstrom will be on your opening roster?

 

[DaveG]

Yep, sounds like he'll be on our 4th line.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Where's Malone?

 

[Joe McGrath]

Where's Malone?

He, Nordstrom, and Nesrasil seem to be the rotating 13th fwd.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

so many swedes!!1

actually, we sucked when half our team was finnish, so maybe this is a good thing

 

[carolinacanuck]

i'm not posting this to stir up *$#@ because i know there are lots of cam ward supporters out there, it's just interesting to see NHL GM's and coaches rank ward as 30th on the list.

the original article was an espn insider article, but someone posted the entire list on reddit.
