The Canes will have multiple before anyone else gets one, I mean it's not like they have the best record in the NHL right now or anything.

I don't think people realize just how good they are, and how good they are set up to be for a long time. Andrei Svechnikov is a future top 5 star in the league and Hart trophy contender. Rod Brindamour has consistently coached up guys who were looked at as cast offs from other teams. We've been on absolute fire drafting and developing prospects. The owner is committed to both winning and staying out of the way. I haven't felt like this about a team in the Carolinas probably ever, and that includes the 15' Panthers.

Hockey will never have the following of the NFL or NBA but when the new TV deal takes effect next season and they are on ESPN instead of an obscure fox channel the market exposure will go up.

That gif is like 10 years old....

funny pictures

there are like two billion examples.  Didn't think it really mattered that I examined the year of the gif I used.    Don't see why it matters.   But here is Laker LeBron.   He basically is Leonardo Dicaprio.  10 years ago, 1 year ago.  Tomorrow.   Point remains the same.  It's soccer flopping.

I know its harder to get in to. Most people enjoy basketball and football partially because its something they grew up being able to do in their backyard with their friends. That's not something that most people can do with hockey. If anyone even remotely is interested in it though I'd recommend giving it a chance. Over the last few years it has become one my 2nd favorite sport to follow behind football.

It has the speed, athletics, and violence of football mixed with the history, deep rosters, and prospect system of baseball and the nonstop action of basketball. It is basically the perfect sport to follow as a fan.

Is flopping a penalty in the NBA?

The NBA NHL and MLB are harder to follow because of the sheer number of games played... 

But the NHLs TV deal made it hard to find the game even if you know what your looking for lol.

 

But yes I agree completely this is exactly why I got into it... and even with similar player safety rules you can still fight, flopping is not only a penalty but its also somthing that will get you pounded into the ice for the rest of the game.

technically yes but not realy. 

NBA warns LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma for flopping vs. Memphis - Sports Illustrated LA Lakers News, Analysis and More

in this one Leonardo James flops.  Foul called on the opponent.  Lebron gets shots.  Makes them.  

After the game Lebron gets a "warning"

That's dumb and why I can't follow the NBA these days. They should use a penalty box method or flat out ejections.

And people try and claim Lebron is better than MJ.

Can't really compare the two straight up too many different moving parts between the different sports. But as far as bringing energy to the city? They are neck and neck and I would have to give the nod to Ball if he can keep elevating the roster around him just considering how desperate the Carolinas are for any legitimate contender after how the story ended with #1. Be grateful we stumbled into another talent of that caliber so quickly. Doesn't happen often that way for most small markets.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
