It was April 2019. The Canes were in the playoffs again and my wife and I had spent the morning at the fairgrounds for the annual GoodGuys car show. After we were done walking, we decided to head over to the Carolina Ale House for the Canes @ Islanders Game 2 watch party.

We got a couple beers, order some food and watched the game. At some point, a young lady approached my wife and asked her if I served in the Navy (I had a Navy hat on). She said, "yes, he retired in 1993 after serving 20 years." Mind you, I met and married my wife after I retired.  Anyway, this person got our home phone and information and the next thing you know, we have seats for Game 4 at PNC and I get introduced as (they called it back then) Fearless Hero of the game. It was pretty special. I was just a guy watching the game and they went out of their way to take care of us. Not to mention the Canes swept that series, it was a resounding win, which made it more special.

We had just sold our PSL to the Panthers a couple years before, I love hockey and my wife got hooked after 1 game in PNC. We weren't attached to anything sports at that time and we were getting single game tickets every now and then. Not just because of this thing they did for us, but seeing the team built the way it is and knowing they'll be a perennial contender makes it much easier to get those season tickets every year.

Awesome story!

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
