Non-game related takes so far: 1. LVGK jerseys look… dirty. Straight baby poop yellow-brown. 2. The goal horn in Vegas makes me want to punch someone. I could not handle that as a fan. 3. Svech and Howden are def going to brawl. 4. ESPN’s NHL announcers are embarrassingly bad.

Here’s the thing. People who defend the knuckle dragging bullshit that goes on particularly in the Stanley Cup Playoffs consistently use the phrase “answer the bell.” And when Deslauriers came calling, not one Senator, including their fake ass tough guy Captain, gave that bell a clean answer.

The basic duty of an official in any sport is both to impartially adjudicate the rules of your sport and to protect the players on the field. The officials in Canes-Sens have done neither. To the point that they shouldn't be trusted at any level of the sport.

Watching Thumb Tkachuk target Blaker me wonder... did their dads play hockey together? Google says they did. Can anyone confirm that? It would make SO much sense. Esp since those brothers clearly have shown they have daddy issues and unmanaged aggression.

“The Canes are soft.” <1 yr ago playoff convos were cluttered with phrases like this. Misinformed. Chirped without any thought. Now, here we are. This team & season have a different flavor. Media & commentary in the last day prove it too. I think we we shifted into the better timeline, guys.

See, I did a pendulum check AND pulled the “birth” chart for the Canes this season. If you’re woo woo like me, rest assured that we didn’t need big trades this season. If we stay healthy, we’re good. Not saying we win it all, but I’m saying we look better than we ever have in 19 years!
