  1. Those tweets from the Hurricanes account were cringy, but I guess they accomplished their goal and really got under the skin of some Islanders fans. Imagine being so mentally fragile about your team losing a game that you look up a staff directory to harass people.
  2. I agree with you on the social media team. I remember the Canes social media used to be at least a little clever with their trolling, but some of the stuff they posted last night was cringy to say the least.
  3. I don’t know what any of this means, but okay.
  4. People getting so angry about a hockey team doing silly dances after they play a children’s game will never not be funny to me.
  5. Also isn’t it a bit ironic so many people mock sunbelt teams for playing in cities filled with northern transplants, and belittle the fans for being arrogant. Wouldn’t this mean all those arrogant fans are actually transplants from the traditional hockey markets? I don’t know - just asking questions.
  6. Not to beat this dead horse of a topic for the millionth time, but there is a decent sized chunk of the hockey fanbase that does not want them to be part of the greater league ecosystem. There are many who think any sunbelt team simply does not belong, no matter how successful the franchise is or how many games in a row they fill the building with fans. We can’t be too surprised when those fanbases eventually push back and say to heck with the traditional hockey fans.
  7. I am a Canes fan, but this is some cringy tweeting. It’s been a while since I’ve gone on Twitter (since it has become laughably toxic) but I recall the Canes account used to at least be a little creative with their trolling. Nothing clever here. Not to mention it is only a 2-0 series lead in the first round. Job isn’t even close to finished yet.
  8. I think one could make the argument they are the top Ford team at the moment, or at least 1B. Harvick leads Ford in regular season standings, but Brad is only 12 points behind him. Roush and Penske are tied for wins. Blaney, Buescher, and Logano are all within 6 points of each other. Penske and Roush seem to be on pretty similar levels at this point. I think most would still view Penske as the top dog since they're coming off a championship season, but Roush has put themselves in the conversation. SHR is not in the conversation at this point since the entire team is in shambles besides Harvick. Either way, I am just happy to see Roush is relevant again. It was a tough time to be a fan from 2015-2022. I won't take this season for granted and enjoy every moment of them being competitive.
  9. He actually is the 4th string at the moment. Watson-Dobbs-Mond-DTR. He will absolutely move up in the depth chart though.
  10. Some are gold medalists in the mental gymnastics with how they justify his contract. They'll say the Browns were never going to cut him and any contract he was given he would end up with seeing all the money anyway, so why not just make it completely guaranteed? Or they'll say that is just the price of a franchise QB, and they rarely become available. I say it is a desperate short-sighted move from a desperate, QB-hungry franchise who is tired of being the laughing stock. So...naturally this move once again made them the laughing stock AND they got some bad PR for their troubles.
  11. The Steelers will go 8-8-1, because they have to keep up their .500 or better streak. The Browns will start out 2-4 to put us out of our misery early. By week 4 Cleveland will be calling for Stefanski's head, and by week 12 fans will finally admit Deshaun isn't worth his contract. In the off-season fans will convince themselves Watson can easily be traded for a haul of draft picks, but no team wants him and we are stuck with a middling QB on a horrible contract. I don't make the rules, I just know how these things work.
  12. I hope he asked Aristides Aquino for permission to use his number!
  13. Yesterday's race wasn't great, but I generally love the road course races. They're some of the tracks I look forward to most each season. But I am a Chris Buescher fan, so that definitely helps since he is usually competitive in these races.
  14. It was discussed a few weeks ago in here I believe, but Hartford would need a new arena before they could be seriously considered. Nothing has really changed on that front since the team left for Raleigh 25 years ago. The market also isn't doing itself any favors, as the city of Hartford itself is the fourth most populated in Connecticut and continues to shrink. That doesn't necessarily mean the metro area of about 1.2 million couldn't support an NHL team, but it might make more sense to give a midwest market like Kansas City a chance, or Quebec City if you want to go the small-but-proven hockey market route.
  15. So...the Browns have this logo on their website when announcing the winner. While on their Twitter is showing this logo. Does anyone else notice the difference in the right side of the dogs face in these logos? Or am I just losing my mind? Which one is it? Edit: I am pointing out the extra flap/wrinkle on the dogs face in the bottom logo.
  16. I've seen this logo making rounds on social media. I like it better. The collar has more white which adds a bit more balance to it, and it takes away one of those weird flaps/wrinkles on the right side of its face to make it look a little less awkward.
  17. Just have the Red Wings go back to the Western Conference. They've accomplished literally nothing of note during their time in the East, so we can just pretend they never left the West in the first place.
  18. I've noticed PFF has been using the <=B=> logo a lot this offseason for the Browns. Is this logo making a comeback? Or are they just using it for no particular reason?
  19. Prefer the one on the left, but I can live with either. I am just so happy the Tick Tock one isn't going to win.
  20. He capitalized on his chances for sure. Our guys didn’t. Let’s hope we are in the ECF next year and have a chance at redemption.
  21. It stings to lose this way, but I’m proud of my team. They fought hard each game, just couldn’t finish and had some bad bounces. We have come a long way after a 9 year playoff drought. In the moment it is frustrating to lose, but I’ll take an ECF appearance over missing the playoffs or an early exit every time.
  22. Not much you can do when you run into a scorching hot goalie. Certainly frustrating to watch, but it'll all be over soon.
