NC State basically gave its basketball program a death penalty for what amounted to the same thing: www.wral.com/sports/north...

Where we are at: Happy the self-inflicted PR wound with Hart and McLeod didn't advance past the rumors stage. But I'm still worried about what happens if the Canes have injuries to KK and Jank. Or Andersen and/or Pyotr get hurt. It was easier to back away when there wasn't glaring holes.

At first glance, a rather sadly ironic STM offer from the Canes….

I’m 100% convinced that NC State is poorly coached because our OL doesn’t hold enough. The frequency it is let go in the ACC is ridiculous. #GoPack #NCState

You can’t tell me what to do! #GoPack #NCState

Given what happened last night at Virginia and what is currently happening at Wake Forest, Miami should be happy they aren’t playing against NC State’s other victim this year - ECU - today

I got the midseason STM All Access Event slot apparently. Looking forward to taking my 20 year old daughter to meet, shake hands, and get pictures with Carter Hart and Michael McLeod. /s Canes still have time to NOT do the wrong thing. #RaiseUp

Letter sent to my ticket rep. #RaiseUp

Just sending a message into the void to @erictulsky.bsky.social begging him not to tarnish his reputation with a signing that everyone will remember him for. All the work you've done to empower women in hockey and tech, and strengthen the Raleigh community will be overshadowed with one move.

No Cash Pop? We might score #RaiseUp

#55 Primeau being cheered at the Canes game, as usual #RaiseUp

Good to hear the dulcet tones of @wademinter.com have not been silenced #RaiseUp

💯 Oliver is right as usual. Sad that the comedians - many being silenced on TV - are the only ones calling this out in no uncertain terms while the news media "both sides" it.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

@erictulsky.bsky.social it is a slap in the face of your female fans and survivors of sexual assault if you sign a single one of these players. You want what is best for the team? Don't sign them. Stand up for your fans and do not put these people on the Canes.

Guess I was about 12 hours early....

Patrick Mahomes/Meagan Trainor will absolutely be the commercial that makes everyone throw the remote through the TV this football season

More Danes are Canes (New version of More Finns More Wins?) #RaiseUp

Brad Marchand’s new deal comes with a relocation package to The Villages at the end of it.

WHY IS THE NHL SO BAD AT THIS?

I don't remember - has ESPN always used the same "draft tune" to signal draft picks that they use for the NFL draft?

LOL I'm pretty sure Jeff Skinner held the Panthers' D-man's stick for about 10 seconds there. #NHL #Oilers #StanleyCup

Oilers nearly score 10 seconds into the game, fail, and decide "we're done"? They are lucky not to be down multiple goals. #NHL #StanleyCup #Oilers

Stuart Skinner came to play it would appear. #NHL #StanleyCup #Oilers

Panthers fans booing (possibly) the Canadian anthem and then chanting USA at the end of it. Keep being stupid, Florida man. #NHL #Oilers #StanleyCup

You know, if Oettinger is angry about being yanked and wanted to demand a trade to another conference final quality team, I have one in mind. (A man can dream, right?) #RaiseUp

Conference Finals Goals, 2025: Logan Stankoven: 2 Jeff Skinner: 1 Mikko Rantanen: 0

KK spun by a hold, no call, KK spins a guy with a hold, penalty Literally 2 seconds apart #RaieeUp

I take back everything I said about that play 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #RaiseUp

It is an angry Canes team and an angry crowd tonight #RaiseUp

That didn’t look like a penalty live I need an arena replay #RaiseUp

Hey Panthers…. #RaiseUp

Feeling a first goal of the playoffs for someone tonight. Carrier, one of the rookie D, KK? Something a little unexpected. #RaiseUp

IT IS TIME #RaiseUp

Going super old school today. Haven’t worn this one in a very long time…. #RaiseUp

I cannot stress how differently I will feel about this series based on the results tonight. Lose and, even getting the 1 win Monday, it will still feel like a beatdown where maybe Florida got bored for a night. Win and, even if they lose in 6, it will somehow feel like it was a battle. #RaiseUp

Hey national media…. Here is a freebie new story line with the losing streak over: Canes have never lost a conference final when they won at least one game #RaiseUp

Someone console Boucher “Well…that should do it” #RaiseUp

Dear god they almost passed away a 3 on 1 empty net #RaiseUp

Florida crowd is doing the wave? Game 5 is so happening now #RaiseUp

Not KK’s best 15 seconds there #RaiseUp

Shut up TNT Stop jinxing Freddie #RaiseUp

Canes dominating the game and Florida - FLORIDA - is getting every power play #RaiseUp

Definitely a penalty I’ve never seen Florida commit. Wait, sorry, never seen Florida called for. #RaiseUp

Morrow hurt or just benched now that Rod “fully” trusts Nikishin? #RaiseUp

We refuse to shoot on 2 on 1 breaks #RaiseUp

Stankoven outscoring Rantanen this round Just sayin’ #RaiseUp

That’s not embellishing Got a break finally #RaiseUo

Wonder if Carrier could have done something if he wasn’t hooked? #RaiseUp

That might have been the Canes best period since game 1 #RaiseUp
