Just the yearly reminder to turn our focus to the hurricanes since the Panthers still suck

It wasn't electric from 2010-18. Good teams create electric atmospheres.

Fair, but I think they are more electric now than even our 2015  superbowl panthers year

Offense is not good and often easy to shut down, but there's been more days where it was functional than the defense, which REALLY needs to get called out more here as well. This is a historically bad pass rush. Say all you want about spending on OL (good teams do this), but Christ, there's just nothing there in terms of pass rush. Other teams' backups just flatten our guys on both sides of the ball too often. 

We were 23rd in yardage and 28th in points going into today's game. We might fall in those after today. We were 17th in yards allowed and 16th in points allowed going into today's game. The D is roughly league average. The offense is well below it.

We have definitely lucked out big time in close games this year. Definitely something that isn't repeatable future seasons

That's what my Giants fan buddy and I have talked about. Really the only difference between us this year that they've largely lost the close games and we've largely won them.

And that they have a franchise QB while we have a QB that could double as an oompa loompa in a willy Wonka movie...

That Bussi save in the shootout tonight was pure boss move. If you can’t get excited when a goalie saves a puck from going in by his toenail. Then there is no help for you. If the Panthers keep this pathetic embarrassment of a franchise record going, hurricanes will surpass them in fandom in the Carolina’s

While the Panthers are still embarrassingly bad, we have a fantastic hockey team that deserves our attention and support. When we get eliminated by the bucs next week, don't forget the hurricanes are actually a good team

Hell yeah!  All are welcome!

I respect the game of hockey but could never get into it. I'd rather watch terrible football than great hockey.

Go watch the final of last years 4 nations tournament. Probably the greatest game i have ever watched from start to finish across all sports.

Honestly arguable the Canes already have. Guarantee you this loss to the saints killed half our fanbase

Yeah, that too. I'm not sure how Dart will pan out in the long run and he's gonna have to start being smarter about taking these unnecessary hits if he's gonna last long-term but yeah, I'd trade Bryce for him with no hesitation.

Nah I've been to both many times. I'm a big Canes fan as well. Nothing topped the Panthers in the 2015 playoffs. I mean, 2006 for the Hurricanes probably was right there with it, but I was in school. Canes games are fun as hell (and stressful).
