The Carolina Hurricanes didn't have a single player in the top-20 of league scoring this year. They didn't have a single goaltender finish with a 0.900 save percentage or higher. Not a single member of the organization was a finalist for any end-of-season awards. Yet in the end, the Carolina Hurricanes are the 2026 Stanley Cup Champions.

After 3 different flight cancellations attempting to return to Boston including one through Orlando I gave up for a bit and went to buy cup champs merch! It’s great to match my dad, shout-out to @smmorales10 for her help! And I’m now booked on a 755pm flight home! #SoundTheSiren

The Wake County Board of Elections last night unanimously adopted an 18-site early voting plan that will have voting all 17 days Oct 15-31 including 12 weekdays, three Saturdays and two Sundays. The 18 sites is the most ever in a Wake Co mid-term (2022 15 sites, 2018 10 sites.) The 18 include 7 in Raleigh city limits, 2 in Cary, 1 each in Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Knightdale, Wendell and Wake Forest, and 2 in unincorporated areas - Beech Bluff in Willow Spring and Wake Tech South (Main Campus) which despite a Raleigh address is actually between Garner and Fuquay. Floor area in the voting enclosure correlates with the number of voting booths and the number of voters that can be handled. Of the 18 Wake sites, three are over 10,000 square feet, seven are 5,000-9,999 s/f and eight are under 5,000. The smallest is the NCSU site at 1,094 s/f. See site list in image, maps and fliers suitable for distribution should be on the #wakeelections website next week.

I believe it was 2007 when my dad @gercohen won a contest for Chad LaRose to give him the jersey off his back after the final game. He’s worn it to every game since then and it’s undefeated (2-0) when he randomly runs into Chad on game day! This was last night, very cool!!

decided i needed to refill the windshield wiper fluid for the first time in our 2019 car. I had been eyeing a gallon jug of blue liquid in the garage for years thinking it was wiper fluid. Turns out it was dog shampoo. Our dog died in 2014.

Just found the hat my dad bought at the most recent Charlotte Hornets playoff game we attended 😂
