Hockey is cool.
Playoff hockey is cooler.
Stanley Cup Final hockey is cooler.
SCF Overtime hockey is cooler.
SCF Double Overtime hockey is coolest.
Sleep is overrated.
Leaving for work this morning, I looked over and saw what was left behind in the cul-de-sac - a hockey net, scattered sticks, and the remnants of what had to be a 15-20 kid street hockey game last night.
And it hit me… I live at Topsail. A beach community in North Carolina. Yet these kids are choosing to play hockey in the street instead of the “traditional” Southern sports you’d expect around here.
That’s what the Carolina Hurricanes @Canes have done for this state. They didn’t just build a fanbase, they grew the game. It’s honestly amazing seeing hockey take root in places as random as a beach town cul-de-sac. 🏒🌴 Happy Gameday!!!

Tripp Tracy and Caniacs are furious at me for forgetting about Jordan Staal and his role as an elite third line center. They seem a little on tilt. Carolina fans are on edge. Ican tell. This is their year with no Florida. Every year they drum some average team in the first round
Joe Flacco went on a rant with @bykevinclark about how football 15 years ago was tougher.
“I don’t think it should be roughing when they land on us. Or being slapped on the head is roughing. It affects games in a negative way.”
Full clip is must-watch.
this same franchise gave Deshaun Watson $230,000,000 fully guaranteed no questions asked… but now wants a coach they’ll give $5M/yr to write multi-part essays & do homework
no wonder multiple good candidates who want a job as a HC withdrew from consideration
The Browns are reportedly a “data-driven operation” and are requiring head coaching candidates to complete questionnaires, a multi-part essay, a personality test, and additional homework, per @TomPelissero
Mike McDaniel and Jesse Minter both withdrew from consideration.
