Speaking of Archie, he almost pulled the upset against the Leafs in a nice little Cinderella playoff run for the Sharks way back in 1994. They came a game away from winning that series in a Game 7 vs the Leafs in 1994 when Irbe was a much younger man. I still lived in Canada in 1994 and I remember Irbe way back then taking the upstart Sharks to one win away from the Conference Final with a very average Sharks team that was the 8th seed in the playoffs and qualified for the playoffs with the fewest amount of points of any playoff team that year.

Still my wife's favorite all-time Hurricane
Probably my wife’s too. His was the first jersey she ever bought and our first piece of Canes swag is an opening night “You’re in Canes Country” poster signed by the little guy.

His ex wife and kids appear to still be here, at least she owns a house.

Pretty sure you’re right. It’s been a few years, but I met her at my sister’s house. They are neighbors (little sister is a denti$t). My bil and Irbe are good buddies still.

curious to see how much the winning bid is. Do they have an organ now or do they use a keyboard? Haven't paid attention lately.

first round is 5 games, rest are 7. Teams will be reseeded after each round.
They could get a nice keyboard for $1000 if they wanted and it would sound almost the same.

They use recorded organ music ... but not that much of it.

They also played it sometimes during lengthy stoppages for injuries, including some head injuries. I’m just reporting the facts and I shan’t editorialize.

canes not opening facilities yet. New place is opening in July so maybe they are waiting for that . Only 8 guys in town .
Yeah ... those 8 guys are basically on off season standing and can rent their own ice time at RCI or where ever. I'd also guess that they'll be hoping they get the new facility opened before they bring everyone back more formally.

Canes goalies #12 in bang for the buck.

the guys who stayed here are Hamilton, Pesce, Staal, Svech, maybe Williams. And a few more. Maybe Hamilton left since he's healthy now.
Bang for your buck: Ranking all 31 goalie tandems based on their salary cap hit
A goalie ranking with Sergei Bobrovsky, Carey Price and John Gibson all in the bottom-five. What in the world is going on?

Williams is definitely still in Raleigh. Svech is here with his brother and people keep taking pictures of them hanging out at North Hills, which is ... fine. Slavin is still in town too, and I'm pretty sure Hamilton is still here because he was still doing physical therapy as of about a week ago. Not sure who else is local at the moment. So, if nothing else we've got a defense pairing and one line ... fun.
