That is MY CAPTAIN

Please do not ever put Gary Bettman and Bill Belichick next to each other in front of me again

NIKOLAJ MOTHERFUCKING EHLERS

Paddy is resting up for puck drop

I went to work and banged out a story at 7:30 this morning because I knew there was no shot I'd be productive this afternoon

Eric Staal kinda felt like the no brainer choice for tonight. You want a Canes legend for the first SCF game in 20 years, you go with the best player in team history. Easy enough

Every bit of this city is covered head to toe in Hurricanes hockey today. As it should be.

Had a random man in Food Lion ask me for a guarantee that the Canes are winning this cup and that's probably as close to a Mark Messier moment as I'll ever get

When you see soldiers with no what doing what

Days like today I really wish @lukedecock.bsky.social was still covering this market.

Canes take at least three points (and maybe even just two) from their two games against PIT this week, the rest of the regular season pretty much goes on cruise control (depending on how much you care about getting the top seed in East, health is more important for me)

Setting this up in the office on Thursday and Friday to get the true March Madness viewing experience.

Sinners, One Battle After Another, and Tenn CB Jermod McCoy vs Oklahoma in 2024: All elite film

Me hearing the old NHL On NBC theme

I know there was a lot happening in terms of various forms of messaging around last night's Super Bowl, and it can be tough to know what to hone in on. For me, the most important thing to take away is that Drake Maye now has the same winning % in Super Bowls that he did against NC State in college.

That's one of the most skilled goals I've ever seen Jordan Staal score. Just a pure snipe

Jordan Staal is MY captain. I don't care who your captain is. He is mine.

Don't let Drake Maye going to the Super Bowl make you forget that he went 0-2 against NC State in college.

Oh PLEASE take Rodgers out and let that be the last play of his career. I BEG

Aaron Rodgers getting absolutely clobbered in his last game is beautiful

It is time for Aaron Rodgers to go sell horse dewormer

Need tickets for Jarvis's return tonight vs Dallas? I've got 2 for Sect 222 Row B for $200 total and that'll include parking. (way below STM price). Girl22 just tested positive for COVID, so we're being responsible and staying home. (pls Repost)

It's almost like Rodgers is a 42-year-old QB better suited to being RFK's press secretary than throwing footballs down field or something

The 2025 Kansas City Chiefs are out of my life

Same vibes

Nice look ahead to what we'll see in the playoffs again this year

Travis and Paddy are big fans of their early Christmas present

As much as I'll miss Arrowhead, I'm currently amusing myself by realizing that some poor White House staffer is going to have to spend the rest of their day explaining to Donald Trump that the Kansas City Chiefs weren't already in Kansas

As someone who went to and works at NC State and previously covered high school sports in Wilson, I've seen Jim Hunt's impact many times over. Rest in peace to a leader who made a massive impact on this state.

Phenomenal crowd at WakeMed as NC State plays for the men's soccer national championship

This is a massive loss for local sports journalism.

Awesome atmosphere at WakeMed for NC State-Saint Louis in the men's college cup semis

Hope everyone has their milk sandwich ingredients stocked up.

Royals draft pick on the siren? Canes by a million

Donald Trump’s hateful words don’t stand in Minnesota.

We have three more weeks of this nonsense 😂

Travis: straight to the naughty list this year.

Everyone and their brother knows what's about to happen when Will Wilson is on the field and UNC can do NOTHING about it.

This broadcast is a steaming pile of incompetence

What a damn catch

NC State offense just imposing its will (Wilson).

If you could find a way to convince Dave Doeren that every opponent is UNC he'd have multiple 10-win seasons

"roughing" the passer by touching him gently

Put it on them. Make that geriatric coach cry.

Couldn't ask for a much better start on both sides of the ball for NC State

God please let Texas A&M win this game and spare me the bending over backwards to justify 9-3 Texas in the CFP

This honestly makes me more mad. I've had it with this horse shit. The coaching sucks. The front office and roster building sucks. It's "hey Patrick go save us." Maybe missing the playoffs will wake them the fuck up.

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey. The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.
