As much as I'd like to see Paul Maurice get his name on the Stanley Cup, I like Edmonton's team more. It also would be fun to see Canada's reaction after one of their teams won. The Oilers don't rely on the goonish B.S. half as much as Florida does. McDavid is supremely talented. As long as...

PA is where I learned to skate as well. Went through the ice on the sunny side of a pond one day when I was 7 visiting my grandparent's place. I managed to crawl out and my laces & pants froze. Had to walk home in my skates...not far, but far enough to wreck my edges. I've carried a pocket...

Watch your step! The Copperheads are out & about right now. I killed one beside the deck steps about 10 days ago, then caught 2 more a few days apart Wednesday & Saturday. The one beside the deck was 3' and the other two were 26" & 29". The bigger one had to go because the neighbor lady's...

People used to race on the Stone Road (now Davis Drive) between Morrisville & Apex, when there was a distance between the two. Stone Road was 2 lanes and it dead ended less than a mile from the Morrisville-Carpenter Road intersection and ended up at a T with Salem Church Road on the south end...

We used to race cars, party, and screw around in general on what was left of the runways at the old Raleigh airport above Tryon Rd and the 401/70 split. There's a bunch of apartments & a Golden Corral there and Chapanoke Rd. cuts through it now. We got chased (not caught) by the Wake County...

Seeing several teams claiming Necas could be the fix they need (CBJ, Phil, Pitt, Bos, MTL, NYI, freaking Utah,etc.). A sign and trade could be a lucrative deal for the Hurricanes, providing the buyer has what Carolina wants/ needs. If the desperation level is high enough, Carolina could really...

and one of those airlines was Piedmont... I'll never forget coming in to land at the original terminal/ runway on a flight back from Colorado with my Dad in about 1976. The woman seated across the aisle looked out the window and said "That's it?" "That's the WHOLE terminal??". Was she ever in...

Dan Bylsma hired as Seattle Kracken Coach. https://www.nhl.com/news/dan-bylsma-named-seattle-coach I remember Bylsma when he played for the Jeff Brubaker coached Greensboro Monarchs in the early 90s. Good luck to him in Seattle. Jim

My wife is from Oregon and grew up a Grateful Dead fan. One of the Dead concerts she attended, her seat was next to Bill Walton's. He put his hand out to shake hers & said, "Hi, I'm Bill."...like she had no idea who he was. She said that her hand in his was like an adult shaking hands with a...

...Gary Bettman needs to taste those elbows firsthand, then changes might be made faster. I would also sleep better. Jim

Run with whatever grabs you. I'd sort of like to see a whole team. One line's kinda easy. Mine's not ready yet, as I'm still sifting through rosters. BTW JB, I'd vote Steve Chaisson as PP quarterback. The team wasn't much then, but he had a quality outside shot and could deal the puck better...

So, here's a little food for thought and for an argument's sake kind of discussion that struck me as I was driving back to the office today; If you could put together an "All Hurricane" team of any players who wore the sightless eye from any season (No Whalers, unless they came over in the...

https://guglhupf.com/bakery/ Guglhumpf Bakery and Restaurant in Durham (I think there's another in Chapel Hill...haven't been to that one yet) is seriously tasty and probably bad for you...but the best tasing food usually is, right? Definitely worth visiting. Jim

I think Necas is the square peg for Rod's system, just never really has fit. Would love to see a sign & trade deal out of Necas. I think he'd have value to a western team that tends to skate more and is not as chippy as eastern teams. Jim

And so it ends...{Polar's word}!!! It was an intense game, just with the wrong outcome. Jim

Count it!

I have to watch the competition for the Stanley Cup. Sometimes I don't give a {Polar's word} who wins, but I love the game too much. I also know that baseball, Nascar, and golf will be the predominant broadcast tv sports afterwards & I just don't give a flip about any of them. I don't often...

Go get the next one. Keep it rolling. Jim

I think back to when the Hurricanes won the Cup in '06 and Peter Laviolette had the team sold on being relentless. They mentioned in every interview, played that way, and lived it during the Cup run. There was a desperation to their game. I feel it was more than a catch phrase, it was an...

I'm all about TDA not being on the ice. He's a weak link and the first one on the roster to lose his cool & do something stupid. I was relieved when he was let go and never thought the Hurricanes would be dumb/desperate enough to pick him back up, even at a bargain bin price. Jim
