I watch the games when they actually televise them here in Raleigh. I wish I had the time to go to Charlotte and catch a few of the games. Hopefully they can bring the Calder cup to Charlotte. Great experience for the young talent the Hurricanes have playing down there.

I've been to two games so far this year. The first one was a 3-0 loss to Binghamton, and the second one was Friday night, a 1-0 loss to WB-S. Two games, zero Checkers goals. :confused:

In all fairness though, if you're in the Charlotte area and looking for a game, it's not Raleigh and the RBC Center, but it's a great experience nonetheless.

Been to a couple of playoff games. Saw a winner against WBS in overtime on Monday, then a loss 1-0 on Friday. Fridays crowd was good. Mondays was a joke (like 3,000, maybe).

Could not believe that third period Saturday. Amazing. Hoping to go to the game Friday.

    • They have never even had back to back winning season even with Cam so what do you expect? It's all about the winning. The Ravens have had winning seasons the last 6 of 7 years and actually won a SB. Seattle has won 11 of their last 12 seasons and a SB. Interesting enough neither have had 6 losing seasons in a row. I'm not sure it will ever be the loudest crowd but you are also forgetting the environment JR fed for years up to the Cam years. Tepper is terrible and done little past a VR panther but JR threw a very bland game day experience. I was in Tampa last year and they made the entire game entertaining for the fans even if the teams were not good most of the game. Blaming the fans for a poor product when it's never been good enough long enough is just BS.
    • As expected and glad to hear it's official. I think he's been more responsible for our sustained success the last 6 years than Waddell was. Both have been important, don't get me wrong. But I'd rather let Don walk like we did than have Tulsky take a GM job elsewhere, which he absolutely would've gotten eventually (has already had several interviews and league wide interest). I think Justin Williams could backfill some of the Waddell duties on the GM side. Team President will probably be a new hire, or other promotion from within -- Waddell was definitely good at that stuff but all that stuff doesn't directly impact the on ice product.
    • The grass is not always greener and losing the Panthers Franchise to another city is a big no thank you to me. First the fan base and others wanted a new owner. We got one and he turned out to be worse (up to this point).  Now the fan base and others want the team to leave so we can either have no NFL franchise in Charlotte with the hope of get a new one some time. Again no thank you.     Whenever I travel, go to another city or area I pay all kinds of travel and tourism taxes for their stadiums, arenas and venues. So let everyone visiting and traveling through Charlotte pay those same taxes for ours and make a deal for the stadium upgrades.
