To put that nine figure number in perspective, that means at minimum it’s a $100 million total over 8 years, so would be $12.5 million per. A team that can offer 7 would have to put up basically $14.3 to match that.

Yeah I’m done writing previews for the site. I don’t think they’ve won one yet that I’ve written

In @stevedangle20.bsky.social voice “It’s ALWAYS the Carolina games…”

Never ever expect a normal game between Carolina and Toronto.

Hat tip to @adamgold.bsky.social for posting. Friedman talked about Rantenen during the break. Canes have offered a figure “in the 9 digits” and Rantenen just said he needs more time. Doesn’t mean yes, doesn’t mean no. Just needs time. www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/sa...

The problem for the Canes was that the Leafs remember that last game too. They weren’t going to let it happen again. Sometimes you just flush it, use this as your first full team practice and head to Montreal. Lots of weird scores in the league tonight

Can't blame Pyotr for any of these, really.

Sub-optimal start.

Ummm. Rangers?

This article from @saracivian.bsky.social is a great read: thecivreport.substack.com/p/how-do-we-...

For CanesCountry! Your Canes are back in action! #RaiseUp and here’s your preview for today’s game. www.canescountry.com/2025/2/22/24...

In case you missed the post yesterday-put in Jarvis on the top line and Slavin on the top pairing. And what better way to celebrate Ayers Day than with chaos in net? @stormcellar97.bsky.social think this means it’s a “No touch my guys” day.

Pyotr Kochetkov was the first goalie off the ice for the #Canes this morning in Toronto. The setup largely remained the same as yesterday's practice, except today including Seth Jarvis and Jaccob Slavin. Tyson Jost is in line to play his first game since Dec. 31.

I know this picture. This is from 2015, and I remember this picture from living up in Boston SCREAMING about people who did this. I work in auto claims, I SAW the result of people not cleaning the roofs off. It’s not THAT hard.

OG Hat Vault closes on 2/25. Once this design goes back in the vault, it won’t be available until we need more money. ogfans-dccaps.itemorder.com/shop/home/

This is a welcome read. Lazerus must have interviewed Aho & Rantanen in Toronto last night. www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

“It’s ALWAYS against the Hurricanes”

Tripp provided this nugget before the Canes posted this. Yes, Slavin flew back to Raleigh last night just to join the team for the flight up to Toronto. I…think he’s playing tomorrow.

@joeovies.bsky.social for the record they did in fact do a Cologuard skit. AND GET THE DAMN TEST. youtu.be/Mu12X2cu6Y0?...

I’m going to start taking daily walks. I need more fresh air and vitamin D. List a great walking song below, please! 😁

Listening to drive time Boston radio and the Slavin love continues. They called him the best US player, now ripping on Fox/Hannifin

Content! First up for THB, wrote up three things #UNC #GoHeels fans should watch for tomorrow against UVA. Can they build some momentum? www.tarheelblog.com/2025/2/21/24...

Aho and Rantanen here for practice

(But no, seriously, if we retired Glenn freaking Wesley's number, there's just no way we don't retire Slavins. Especially since has the most points by a Canes defenseman? I think?)

Not my picture, posted from Iron Caniac on X. But y'all.....Slavin giving Jarvy a hug in the handshake line. I love my team.

USA needs to have a real look at their D core. When you have a top pair playing nearly half the game, that just isn’t sustainable for an Olympic tournament.

This is both what I expected of his buds and explains so much about him. I love it

Ok. Still need more answers to the Family Feud survey questions for the Watch Party. If you have some time, I'd truly appreciate it. Thanks! forms.gle/HVFZGhW2PCcm...

Big picture view. That was fantastic hockey. All four nations brought it to this tournament. This was a big win for hockey fans and the NHL.

As @adamgold.bsky.social pointed out, that goal was preceded by a USA icing and guess who was stuck on the bench…and credit to Cooper for getting McDavid out there for one of the few times without Slavin on the ice. The defensive breakdown there showed just how much his paring has been killing it

MARTY WALSH IVE MISSED YOU!

Congratulations to the United States on becoming Canada's Fourth Territory. Show good behaviour and we'll consider the province thing in four years

That was a phenomenal game. I want a Game 2 of this! Wow! Congratulations to Canada. Both teams played amazing! Hockey has the best All-Star setup with this.

The thing I love most about Slavin getting all this attention is that it’s for a player that isn’t flashy, he just goes in and does his fucking job.

Seth Jarvis - the Oracle at Delphi.

The great thing is, folks outside of the Canes fan base lose their minds over the plays Jaccob Slavin makes, and for us it’s no big deal because we see it all the time.

Imagining all the Canes players in their small watch parties around Raleigh laughing and cheering and swearing when this happened.
