We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
instead of bumping the 'broadcast on wral' thread again, i'll respond to myself (originally responding to myself) here...
hey, 10 days ago me. the ovi chase multiplier now has the cheapest tickets for the caps game sitting at just under $200. the 5 seats available in the section we have range in price between $325 - $365.
i tell myself now that in the battle of greed vs wanting to see history, greed still has a chance. selling at those prices would pay back what i paid for 4 games/2 tickets per plus about 100% cash back. but my two oldest sons both expressed that they want to go, so who am i kidding? not only will i not sell, i won't even be in the building myself.

Must be a bad fan since I don't recognize most of them...
Solution is obvious. Make your kids buy them from you.
When things were getting chippy and he was getting in there with Stanley from Peg it looked like one of those perspective illusions where Stanley was like 10 ft in front of him, but nope...side by side. He was at like nipple height at best lol
Restated differently: because sports is really just A Soap Opera based on weighted random number generation, and because people feel like knowing the weights gives them more insight into how The Soap Opera is gonna turn out.
Is Svech sick? Injured? Crazy? Is there some hidden drama that we don't know about? Has Svech actually been kidnapped and replaced with his twin brother Smech? Tune in to the next episode to find out!
Svech is upset with Tlusty for not trading Rantanen for Boeser.
tough but fair. i like it.
of course, at this point in the conversation the footage of my life would be played at double speed and some yakety-sax knock off would play while the images unfold the story of the kids going to my wife, my wife to me, and then $$$ going back around that circle until the boys place my cash back in my hand...
Woof, glad I gave up my tickets this year
Not that it matters for me since I'm not local right now but did they get rid of the pure hockey tickets? Those always seemed to be really good value. Also, worth noting that these are still absolutely nothing compared to bruins season tickets...
Do you have the 2024-5 pdf? Can’t find it anywhere on the web

Btw: no premium parking in the email I saw. With construction constant through the season parking is going to be a nightmare

Cost of living in Raleigh is significantly lower than Boston as well. (35% lower)
At this point, I’ve just prepared myself for Svech to be done for the season. Hope that’s not the case, but I don’t like the direction this is going. So preparing for the worst.
Its one game but yeah, the tight lipped thing. Im guessing concussion but I don't know where I can find the contact video
when it happened, I thought for sure it was a concussion just from the way they collided and how he seemed a bit dazed going back to the bench
I'm just dramatic as hell--you guys should know that by now
* and correspondingly, so are paychecks
Attendance for next year...can they continue the sellout pace?
Going to be interesting with opposing forces at play. I expect a Nikishin bounce + some other off season adds so a probable strong team but.....
they significantly raised the prices for season tickets (along with some silly surcharges for end seats) and have gone exclusively to general parking (and this could be for 2 years as the parking decks need to be completed for a differentiated premium parking product...presuming that ever comes back).
I suspect that might be a turnoff for a part of the fan base that is older or folks that fear a nightmare parking experience similar to anyone who has attended Chapel Hill football or basketball games. I also wonder if tailgating near the stadium will be impacted next year as well?????
FWIW: a bunch of folks have told me they are probably not renewing and right now we are on the fence.

It really depends on how well they spend that $36m in cap space.
They make a big splash and tickets will sell out immediately. They stumble and bring in a bunch of bottom 6 guys and depth defensemen, and they'll be offering discounted package deals by November.
So was at the Canes Gala tonight. Jarvis was trashed. Martinook questionably trashed. If those guys look a lil rough Friday, we know why.
Also Martinook sang some Nickleback on stage to everybody and then dragged in Jarvis with him. Awesome event

Jarvis was a two fisted beer guy in the Burns party photo too. Small anecdotes but I hope it's not a regular trashed occurrence for him.
I just assume all nhl players that aren’t vocal fitness and/or Jesus enthusiasts are trashed at all times
