    Playoff GDT: Round 3, Game 5 Canes v. Habs 5/29 8:00

    You’ve come to the right place if you want to find people who know just how badly last night and this series sucked for you guys. Hell, we’ve lived this nightmare twice in three years, so if you’re ever tempted to think it couldn’t get any worse … don’t. And one thing that should be encouraging...

    That’s the one that choked me up. My wife on the other hand was bawling through the whole (avoiding the) trophy ceremony.

    Indeed. If for no other reason than to save one game’s worth of wear and tear and we’re getting close to the point where we need to get Freddie plugged in to an outlet to recharge

    I mean, OK. But can that Kitchen Sink guy shoot the puck? :0)

    Playoff GDT: Round 3, Game 5 Canes v. Habs 5/29 8:00

    Finally found some info out of Montreal’s camp … no Gallagher tonight, but St Louis gave one of those non-answers about Xhekaj. If he plays, look for Carolina to get creative attacking his passing. I’ve never heard such a hue and cry to insert a player with such a significantly negative goal...

    Yeah, Zaha’s slowing down a bit but doesn’t want to see his wages drop in recognition of that. That’s the price of leaning so much on those aging Euros. You have to have a succession plan.

    It’s pre-programmed into those radio types. It just plays on loop Big market, 7 games, big market, 7 games …. blah, blah, blah.

    Which would be fine. This is a development year for the Cards, not a competitive year. The winning has been a little something for free so far.

    Playoff GDT: Round 3, Game 5 Canes v. Habs 5/29 8:00

    I’m not so sure Montreal got tired in Game 4 but I am convinced that they ran out of answers. It looks the same in a lot of ways, since it takes longer to process decisions when you’re not sure what to do. I’m sure they’ll watch tape and figure some things out coming into Game 5, but Carolina...

    Great. My Cardinals finally shed a stuck in the old days front office and start to gain some momentum and we’re heading for labor hell … again. If they do go to war over this, it’ll likely last a while. There’s VERY little common ground on this issue and MLBPA is not one of the typically...

    Playoff GDT: Round 3, Game 4 Canes @ Habs 5/27 8:00

    There’s a thing about gift horses that comes to win. Score more goals than the other guys and worry about how it looked over the summer.

    Yeah, that’s why I think it would be a great venue. It’s a great old style stadium and would make an awesome setup for hockey. I love going to games there. It’s even got pretty good space for tailgating … provided you can get there. Which can be a challenge.

    Win Game 5 you get two days between games. Win Game 6 and you get three days. Win Game 7 and you get one skinny day off and you’d 100% be practicing on that day.

    2025-26 Canes Miscellaneous Thread

    Yeah, Kenan would fine. State fans dump on it, but it’s a decent gameday experience. The only problem being the amount of local knowledge required to figure out parking. Carter Finley is much more straightforward and even then the NHL screwed up parking to a level unmeasured by science. That...

    Playoff GDT: Round 3, Game 4 Canes @ Habs 5/27 8:00

    They indulged in some management (see the cross checking sequence fairly early in the first involving Ehlers where he got blatantly whacked in the back and then returned the favor with no call on either player), but they DID manage to keep it fairly sensible. WAY better than any game we’ve seen...

    Yeah, that happened once in my lifetime … coming out of the work stopage when we lost the 2004-05 season. For 2005-06 they changed emphasis and called absolutely everything early in the season. By opening night in 2006-07 it was right back to normal, although the previous year HAD reduced the...

    2025-26 Canes Miscellaneous Thread

    The idea would be that the club would recoup the costs in increased ticket and TV revenue. They wouldn’t be talking about it if it was coming from the goodness of Dundon’s heart, I can assure you. Some of the questions revolved around venues, with Carter Finley, Wallace Wade, Kenan and Durham...
