Kelly Sutherland was one of the refs last night- same ref we had Sunday night against the Ducks. He's never been consistent when it comes to Canes games. Say what you will about Domi (and I was the guy not very happy with the acquisition because I didn't like the guy), but he plays better in the middle than the wing. And he can pass- man, can he pass. Former Ranger players had a pretty good night- Smith played well and didn't drop the gloves when the opportunity presented itself; Skjei had 2 assists, TDA had a couple good blocks, good hits and took a good slashing call late that maybe saved a goal. Canes gotta go back up there in a couple weeks....

Staal got tripped, Lorentz, yeah, we still can't get a call.

Okay, that got a little hairy the last couple minutes...

Staal's line is carrying this team right now. But Jarvy.... OH MY!

Aho was going the wrong way trying to intercept the pass, leaving Z free to walk in and pass. That was on 20.

Yep- Sales 101: He who speaks first- loses.

Considering Tepper has spent $170M of his own money on construction so far, I think it would be naive to suggest he's going to walk away. Regardless how much money he has, a $170M white elephant in the middle of nowhere will get you the reputation of a Trumpian real estate guy: build, default, bankrupt.

I'm not sure why, after all the Jerry RIchardson years, people continue to tie a football team's success to the wealth building success of its owner. The 2 have nothing to do with each other. "The National Football League (NFL) is the most profitable professional sports league in the United States. The total revenue of all 32 NFL teams has constantly increased over the past 15 years, rising from about four billion U.S. dollars in 2001 to over 15 billion U.S. dollars in 2019, the highest figure to date. This figure dropped in 2020, however, due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In comparison, in 2020, Major League Baseball (MLB) generated about 3.66 billion U.S. dollars in revenues, while the revenue of the the revenue of the National Basketball Association (NBA) reached a total of 7.92 billion U.S. dollars that year."

Can you imagine what would happen if NFL fans were allowed to carry banners and flags into the stadium and spray water and beer all over the place when someone scored? I could go to games knowing that fans could act like, well, fans.....

Do the Mike Ditka.....

That would be my wife (long blond hair) and me in the front row:

From last night- we had the opportunity afforded to us by some very generous friends who gave us their tickets (they wanted to watch the Masters on TV) front row behind the glass, behind Freddie for 2 periods.

I want to see him going after another goalie.....

Once NY got the lead, they played Hurricane style D- just stood up at the blue line and let nothing past, content to clear the zone and not mount any offense that would risk putting themselves out of position. But the game winner was the failure of anyone to get to the net and the defender to get behind Palmieri on his hip instead of next to him. Take the penalty for 14 seconds, do something but give him an angle inside 10' with nothing but Freddie in front of him. Slash him across the hands, break his stick...

Boy, you really haven't accepted this, have you? Really working OT now... dude, your team lost, Duke lost. Get over it already. I'll check out now because I know you can't walk away- not in your nature. Gotta have the last word as you've displayed for the last 48 pages of this thread.... lol.

You still don't get it- watching you tap dance is good entertainment.... Call me when UNC or Duke win something.

Right on time, from the guy who's "accepted it." GTFO.

The why are you continuing to post? You're in here making an ass out of yourself. I'll wait..... I'm sure you can't let this go...

Do you have signs in your yard telling people to stay off the grass? Gee, UNC beating Duke is a past accomplishment. Stop taking yourselves so fugging seriously- it was a game neither of you had anything to do with the outcome.

I dunno guys... I watched the highlights this morning and how many times Buffalo got behind the defense and were 1-on-1 facing Raanta was a little unnerving. I counted 5, maybe 6 times Raanta was facing down a lone Saber with no help. And, let's face it, the ESPN+ crew was atrocious, the sound was atrocious and the first 8 minutes of the game was atrocious- that's why I bugged out last night. Sunday night's game- some people we know with season tix want to stay home and watch the end of the Masters, so they gave us their seats behind goal, 1st row on the glass. Wife's bucket list item checked, but I prefer to be a little higher so I can see the whole ice.

You misunderstood. I really don't care because neither of them are nearly as special as their fans believe them to be. Never mind the fact that a 47-page thread to talk about a game that meant nothing at the end of the day because Kansas won, and that's all that matters.

You're working overtime. It's okay to take a breath. And, before you call me a Duke homer or something, I grew up in SoCal, watched the John Wooden teams and didn't know anything about either UNC or Duke until I moved here. 11 NCAA titles, including 10 in 12 years with Wooden. 7 straight titles from 1967-1973. 4 undefeated seasons. 88 game winning streak; 98 game home winning streak; 38 game NCAA tourney winning streak. And he beat both Duke and UNC for NCAA titles. Who finished second in the Kentucky Derby last year? Who finished second at the Indianapolis 500 last year? Who was the NCAA basketball runner-up in last year's tournament?

Yep. Turning this one off 8 minutes in. I'll check the score later. Good night all.
