News and notes XXXX: Mascot is in their place cuz its Anniversary season time

[hblueridgegal]

For your listening pleasure…

Something new to debate. Could see Svech getting it.

I would pick Necas for help keeping the team above water for a bit, the comeback story, the potential skills comps.

Maybe the fans can get a second Cane on the roster this time.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I'm with you. I'd pick Necas.

 

[bleedgreen]

Necas. No brainer for me.

 

[MadeUpName]

Necas deserves it this year, but Svechnikov getting the nod is an easy sell

 

[Blueline Bomber]

So for what it's worth, it sounds like for the Raleigh IceCaps Canes game that's coming up, they're not going to sell IceCaps jerseys, just auctioning off the ones worn for warmups. They might sell IceCaps t-shirts and other memorabilia though.

There will be merchandise sold at the game, but I did get Walt to confirm they will not have jerseys for sale, unfortunately.

 

[A Star is Burns]

That seems like an odd missed opportunity. I would assume there was some demand for them.

 

[SvechneJerk]

This news 100% gives me the sads.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Teamwork. Sweet of Martinook.

I remembered we had Suzuki and that got me wondering ....of brother pairs....how often does the younger brother have a better career than the elder?

I would say a lot. A free and regular training opponent that is bigger and stronger.

And as we know, Jared became the best of the Staals, exactly as foretold.

A lot =\= always, as I knew the Staal family was the primary example

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Younger Svech is better. Younger Gretzky much worse.

Could go either way

Curiosity how would you rank the Staal?

For me 1&2 are really close but
Jordan
Eric
Marc
Jared

It would have to be Eric, Jordan, and Marc. Eric also had a better after 32 years of age run. Jordo and marc didn’t age well. At the same time, Jordan got one chance to the guy with scoring linemates. Other than that he is the checking guy with a lot of meh linemates. I don’t think the gap between Jordan and Eric is as wide as the point total would suggest because if my previous point but, there is a little gap.

IDK my question pretty much stemmed from the year his wife miscarried and he missed some time. The funk the team went in without him. I know he doesn't score on the pace that Eric has but I feel it's pretty clear he is more important to a consistently winning team then Eric ever was at any of his stops

 

[Stickpucker]

GMs would pick Eric over Jordan 10/10 times in the draft.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

This news 100% gives me the sads.

I am going to strut around in my Icecaps jersey like I f***ing own the place.

I think it’s Eric > Jordan and I don’t think it’s particularly close.

 

[AD Skinner]

In a vacuum, in their prime and only measuring skill at hockey, its Eric easy. If you factor in contributions to the Hurricanes specifically, intangibles leadership etc, it gets a lot closer. If Jordan ever wins a cup here it probably pushes him over

If you factor in contributions to the Hurricanes, Ryan is the better Suzuki brother. At least he’s never scored against us…

 

[Svechhammer]

looks like Noesen is back tomorrow
