Great episode of this podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tom-dundon-carolina-hurricanes-owner/id1292603914?i=1000507668574

The higlights:

  • Has not spent as much time in Raleigh as he used to when he first bought the team, trusts the front office to do their jobs 
  • Initially was with the team a ton to shake up the culture on the hockey and business side 
  • Implies that hiring Rod was one of his best decisions 
  • Really wanted to improve the facilities - especially the locker room and practice facility (new one just opened up in Morrisville) 
  • had STRONG praise for assistant GM Eric Tulksy, one of the better analytics minds in hockey 
  • He would be "crushed" if Andrei Svechnikov signed elsewhere 
  • GM Don Waddell is working on extensions right now 

Lots of other good bits, but that was the key stuff

  • Thank Jebus 🤩🥳👍🍆
  • Initially was with the team a ton to shake up the culture on the hockey and business side 
  • Shaking out a few dollars by trading one of the best AHL affilliates and running off 2 broadcasting legends. 🖕🤢🤮
  • Implies that hiring Rod was one of his best decisions 
  • Can't argue here. 🍻
  • Really wanted to improve the facilities - especially the locker room and practice facility (new one just opened up in Morrisville) 
  • I'm pretty sure the practice facility has been in the works since like 2009. Also, picking another fight with Raleigh & NCSU over one of the best arenas in the league, that you pay dick for, seems dumb. 👀
  • had STRONG praise for assistant GM Eric Tulksy, one of the better analytics minds in hockey 
  • 🤞
  • He would be "crushed" if Andrei Svechnikov signed elsewhere 
  • You're the one holding the purse strings, asshole. But, seriously, don't fug this up.
  • GM Don Waddell is working on extensions right now 
  • 🤩🤑🤩

      a tip of the cap to the Special Juan

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
