@Martyman17 Celebrating the comeback. not only to see Marty back on the ice but so this sweet girl will stop asking “where is my buddy?” every time we see a game and I have to explain every time why he’s not there! Ever since they “met” she has decided they’re buddies! 😂@Canes

This is too cute not to share! Svech does this every game with Emma. This time she did it back (just not quite with the same force)😂! She looks forward to him coming to see her! @ASvechnikov_37

@Martyman17 A sincere THANK YOU for making this girl’s night, month & year! She was just so happy that you saw her & came over to say hey, but giving her your stick made it even more special! The interaction with her means so much! @Canes

Anyone who saw Emma after the game could see how happy she was with the win, but getting to see her buddy & give/get a hug made her the happiest of all!❤️ Seeing TDA & Slavin added even more to an already great day! @Canes @Martyman17 @abbylabar_

One of the best gifts Emma has ever gotten! It’s adorable but for Marty to have the team sign it made it perfect! Emma was over the moon! A simple “Thank you” isn’t enough for how grateful we are for how happy you made her @Martyman17 @court_martinook! @Canes

We met Spencer last night & all I can say is what a very nice guy he is! Emma wanted to give him a hug “because he’s a new friend” & he got out the car to do so. His mom was super nice too! Hope it works out for him to stay esp. if he can keep playing like he did against Boston.

She finally got the courage to get on the ice & even though it was a short twirl, she did great! I think the cutest thing is her wave when she heard the cheers for her…thank you all for cheering her on!! .❤️🖤 @Martyman17 @mikemaniscalco @TrippTracy

Today is #worlddownsyndromeday .I haven’t been as on it leading up to this day-unfortunately my EXTRA special girl has been sick since last Thursday. So pretty low key celebration day for us but still celebrating the beautiful soul and creation that Emma is & those like her!💛💙

Taking Emma to practice skating & went to see @Canes practice! She was thrilled to see Marty, Staal, Burns, Svech, Aho, Pesce, Skjei, Jarvis, Raanta, Stephan, Coghlan, DeHann…gave them all fist bumps for good luck tomorrow! Coghlan was super sweet & gave her a signed stick! ❤️🖤

She is SO happy her buddy is back!! When she sees him on the ice she is cheering “Go Martinook! Get that puck!” If her wishes alone were enough, he would score about 15 goals every game! 😂 @Martyman17 @Canes

Both games Emma to with a sign for her buddy, the Canes won by 3 goals! She won’t be there tonight so if that doesn’t happen, I’m going to need to make sure she’s there for every other playoff game with a sign! 😂 @Canes @abbylabar_ @TrippTracy

Canes are highlighting the Special Needs community tonight at the game! Emma’s hockey team will be on the ice at the 1st intermission. She’s nervous about doing it cause she said she can’t skate & needs more practice. Told her if even she doesn’t skate just getting on the ice 1/1.

I will buy 2 seats for the next round and will only sell them to Canes fans through X & wont be overpriced. If anyone who sees this would be interested in buying, let me know & I will tag you when I sell them. If enough STMs do this, maybe we can keep Rags fans to a minimum.
Tripp Tracy on the broadcast said it best. Don’t you dare switch your jersey next round & the resale better be going to Canes fans. Period. #CauseChaos.
