I’ve always felt sports does two things extremely well: unite communities and provide a distraction from everyday life. I’m not sure we’ve ever needed those two things more than the last 15 months.
Thanks to everyone at the

I love the story of this shirt. Love that someone gave it to Jarvy - that he wore it - that he liked the idea of selling it with proceeds benefitting the Hurricanes Foundation.
Hockey (and life) can be serious, but it should be also be fun. Seth seems to get that balance.
Jarvy got the bag. You can get the shirt.
All proceeds will benefit the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation!

I heard these jokes a lot and it always proved someone’s ignorance for a myriad of reasons.
1) usually, like Brad, they were born into that club. They didn’t build it.
2) most importantly - you need “escrow clubs” to stay relevant in the sports world. Here’s why:

have a LONG way to go, but 2 thoughts before gm 3.
1) Rod & crew deserve immense credit for what they’ve done thus far. They’re missing half of the top 6. That’s wild.
2) this is the best defense in Canes history. 1 through 6, best corps we’ve ever had. Am I wrong?

This will easily be the best tailgate the

regular season has ever seen.
The 2011 All-Star game was a huge success for the team & Triangle (and likely the peak before a few lean years). This game, a decade later, will do an even better job showcasing the org, fans & area.
The Hurricanes finally have an outdoor game. It's not some feel-good favor. The fans around here have proved it's a good financial decision. Gary Bettman says Tom Dundon was "relentless." Feb. 20, 2021. Be there.

TRUTH: 4 of the 5 Canes home playoff games have been electric by Canes fans from start to stop. But Game 6, after the Caps throttled us, a lot of fans started timid. That changed later in the game - but let's not mess around tonight. If we 'start on time', so will the team.

In 06, Laviolette replaced the vet who had a career year with the upstart rookie because the Canes were down 0-2 in the series. That series was even more dire as Gm 3 was on the road. The huge goal in Game 3 was scored by Brind’Amour. I’ll believe in the symmetry here.
Rod Brind'Amour on his decision to turn to Kochetkov tonight -
"Freddie's played really well, but he's also played a lot. I think giving him a little rest is the best thing."
After starting the year in the AHL, Kochetkov was solid once he got into a pattern of playing

Bettman has played the long game in the SEast, Sunbelt and West coast for a reason - it gives the NHL a chance to stay relevant globally. The owners follow suit because it makes sense financially.
Clearly not everyone grasps that escrow is why they can afford Lambos.

My last yr with the Canes I made a final pitch to the league to let teams wear these & HFC jerseys in-game. I was a lone wolf.
Never fully understood only wearing them only in warm-ups (same for things like pride tape). No TV coverage & small portion of fans in the building.

If you remove the “escrow” teams, you’ll remove 12-14 clubs. You’ll essentially lose everyone outside the NEast & Canada. You’re then a “regional” sport and fully out of the “big 4” convo. With that, three things happen: 1) you lose big tv contracts. You’re now below MLS. 2/6
