Man, at first I was in that thread to argue, but seeing how worked up they are over it, I'm just feeding the flames now.
Now 2 points up on Edmonton.
Need to get back on getting 0 points.
I realize we have a much smaller fan base, but it amazes me how much more knowledge the Hurricanes fans on here are compared to fans of some of the other teams. Maybe if we had the Facebook crew posting here I wouldn't be able to say that.
Next 5 games:
@ Rangers
@ Devils
@ Lightning
Canadiens
@ Penguins
We should be okay.
The brutal reality is that we have no bandwagoners. The folks that hang around this board are serious hockey fans, so we have a lot less than our fair share of knuckleheads these days.
Edmonton:
Dallas
Yotes
@Flames
Kings

Hmmm.
We might go back to last.

I spent about 450 on tonight's game.
122 for the hotel, 50 on gas, 80 on food, and club seats.
We got outworked, except for when we went balls to the wall in OT. Ward is the only reason we have one point, and even he needed a little bit of luck on his side.
And yes, this board is intimidating to outsiders, both in attitude and the level of knowledge most of you guys possess. Before I came here, I looked around me and thought I knew hockey better than most people. Among casual fans, that's probably still true, but this board is on a whole other level that I can barely scratch the surface of. It's like going from Mediocre State University to the Ivy League and I'm just starting to figure things out, which is why I tend to keep my mouth shut unless I'm sure I know what I'm talking about.
Damn, I hope you had a good time despite the outcome.
