10 Year PSL owner here. PSST. The "opposing fans" issue in Bank of America stadium? It's not because PSL Owners are selling their tickets. It's because Panthers' "fans" aren't buying them. The choice to sell a ticket is objective. Ticketmaster is a platform without allegiances or fandom. Instead of trying to figure out how so many opposing fans got tickets, you need to start asking why Panthers fans aren't the ones buying those same tickets. If you say to yourself "I'm not spending any money to go see the Panthers", THEN YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. If you are one of those people who say "If I had Panthers' PSLs...". STOP RIGHT THERE. The Panthers are actively selling PSLs. I believe there was/is an advertisement for PSLs as low as $20/month. Go sign up. Are you hesitant to sign up because the Panthers suck right now? Fair. But don't complain about the number of opposing fans in the stadium then. The product on the field, and the lack of perennial success (the Panthers still have not had back to back winning seasons. Ever.) combined with the fact that the Panthers have only been around for ~25 years all contribute to the current situation.

Yea. I edited my last thought. Was an overreaction.

Oh well. Canes weren’t going 82-0. Would have been nice to beat the other unbeaten (in regulation) team, though. I’d rather they lose against the perceived best in the league than drop a trap game to end the streak. Aho hasn’t scored a full strength goal in 5 games now. Svech can’t stay out of the box. Need these 2 to carry on nights like tonight if the Canes are going to contend.

Weird. ESPN app says Svech.

Svech got a misconduct? What happened ?

This is when your stars will their teams to get back into it. Really need someone to wear that crown.

dang. i stepped away. what did I just miss with Raanta?

Refs called 5 penalties in the first period, 4 of them on the Canes. And theyve called 1 against the Panthers in the 2nd. Sus.

Wasn't able to watch the first period. Are these penalties legit or soft calls?

this is a huge 36 seconds.

https://streamable.com/fvqkwn Totally meant to do that, right?

We need a GIF master to be making clips. I need to see that hit again.

GO HOME BOSTON.

I didnt really get to watch the 1st period. But I distinctly remember Haula being a little biatch during last years game when he was with the ... Knights(?) Is he displaying those same traits tonight?

OWN GOAL. GO HOME BOSTON.

I probably shouldn't participate in the game thread when we play the Bruins...

Daggum, Lorentz.

How is that icing?! What are these refs looking at?

What a rip and what a tip.

I’m gonna need someone to score on a breakaway. Been several so far this season and I don’t believe a single one has found the twine.

The answer is on the roster?

Athletic writer Sara Civian watched the Habs game with Senior Director of Social Media, Dan LaTorraca, and Vice President of Marketing and Branding, Mike Forman, and got to pick their brains on how the Canes seem to be a “going viral” factory. A small excerpt to whet your appetite: The game moves into the first intermission. Civian: Do you guys have any what I call “graveyard ledes,” where I write something really good and have to erase the whole thing when it doesn’t happen? What’s the biggest or best thing you never got to use? LaTorraca: Here’s the thing. We have been so lucky over the past few years that a lot of the stuff we’ve wanted to do, we’ve gotten to do. Like when we beat the Capitals in the playoffs, we had that “bend the knee” tweet written, what, two weeks in advance?

If you’re not subscribed to the Athletic, you should. Sara writes good stuff and her Twitter is nothing if not entertaining: https://theathletic.com/2907713/2021/10/23/how-the-hurricanes-create-a-viral-moment-inside-the-art-of-throwing-the-second-punch-with-the-nhls-top-trolls/?source=user_shared_article
