The_Admiral Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showthread.php?t=1486295 Fans grade their respective organizations. Everyone gets an A or a B. Hurricanes got a B+ despite missing the playoffs in six of the last seven years! The Oilers got a B- despite everything! I wish I went to school at HFBoards. EDIT: f--- it I'm goin' deep, I gotta break down this Hurricanes idiot GM: B Rutherford has proven that he knows what it takes to build a team that is capable of going deep in the playoffs making it to the conference finals with what's essentially 3 different groups of core players with a few holdovers from each time.And yet not only do the Hurricanes tend not to go deep in the playoffs, THEY GENERALLY DON'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. Players: B Top 6 forwards are an A, Goalies are an A (A+ if Cam rebounds and Khudobin carries his form from Boston and Minnesota), The defense is a B, and the bottom 6 is a D which is actually an improvement over last year. Overall, good enough for a BIf your forwards and goalies are so good, how come you don't MAKE THE PLAYOFFS Jerseys/Uniforms: B New home jersey is meh, new road jersey is better, and the 3rd jersey is total class... really hope they keep it long term.lol wut Fans ( attendance / loyalty ): A Attendance is hit or miss depending on how competitive the team is, but it rarely is below 16K average and has been over 17K average a couple times since the 05-06 lockout.If attendance is hit-or-miss, how do you give it an A? So are Hurricanes fans like Sharks fans with access to barbecue or something, where everything down to the peanut vendor is the best ever?

Geoff Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Anyone else notice that according to this guy we not only had a lockout in 04-05 but also 05-06? Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in terms of the overall atmosphere we can create there are few places in the league that can rival it in terms of noise, especially come playoff time.This for the Hurricanes.

HedleyLamarr Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Well, it's not really beautiful. My friend in Gainesville by way of Miami said winter there is "just kind of cold and gross."To be fair, Gainesville is gross year-round. It's just less humid during the winter.No wonder so many of their student-athletes run amok with the law....there's nothing else to do there.

Funky Bunky Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 At least the Penguins, and most likely the Senators, will be fairly exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 And the rest of the list is just established teams that you expect to win (surprised Chicago's not on there by his standards) except for Ottawa. (homer comment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
