In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Timeline cleanser. If you should know anything about else about me other than the Canes, it’s this: I’m the biggest Matchbox 20 fan you’ll ever meet. This version 😮‍💨🤌

So, anyone remember a video last season or the one before where they all joked about who they’d least want to date their sister? I want to bring that one up and then say imagine this but a teammate accused of SA on the team.

This is bullshit. Him and Staal. Who else goes on my Bitin’ List?

If that’s truly how Dundon feels, he should be the one to answer questions and handle the PR mess. Fucker doesn’t even live in NC to see the communal fallout with his team.

Can we get a massive "Fuck Tom Dundon" from the Congregation? Report is coming from @saracivian.bsky.social so this is pretty strong I'd say. Guessing when the owner makes the call, fuck everyone else's opinion on the matter. Such complete bullshit.

Letter sent to my ticket rep. #RaiseUp

Borrowed the work printer 🙂 Hope I can bring it in to the game tonight

2/n and recognizing as well that they don't get to say what that mitigation looks like. That they are not in charge of other people deciding when or how (or even whether) to their apology. And that's what the team is missing, too. They don't have the right to offer redemption in this case because

Did a little interview about this. Keep your voices up, friends!

Y’all, I have to be honest: I’m finding it really hard to find trust with the @notcanes.bsky.social much less the enthusiasm to make it to this weekend’s preseason game. The fact that our team has admitted being open to this—and is STILL letting it float out there—is a huge 🚩.

@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.

I am THISCLOSE to going all in on the Avs.

Update: Our rep called––gave us the usual script (passed it up the chain, doesn’t know what’s being discussed, etc). Poor guy’s just doing his job, but he admitted his entire Friday will be spent calling upset STMs.

Look, maybe the rumors are unfounded. But the fact that they’re enough to give the fanbase pause is extremely telling. We’ve seen the Canes sign shitty people before — Tony DeAngelo (TWICE) and Ian Cole to name two. Their track record speaks for itself. Do better, Canes. #RaiseUp

Look… I understand there are some people in professional sports who are so talented to the level where dealing with the bullshit and bad PR is worth it. I promise you, a dude who wins 60% of his faceoffs and bags 25 points a season AIN’T WORTH IT! What are we doing? And for what?? #RaiseUp

I married a good one, y’all. And today is our anniversary! I think I’ll keep him. 💞 Email to our season ticket rep SENT! #raiseup #NotoMcCleod Cc: @erictulsky.bsky.social

I don't love getting into what he'd bring on the ice because that implies there are stats that would be good enough to outweigh his conduct. Unless someone like him is willing to do the work to repair their image, it's a hard pass for me.

Sharing here; saw on the bad place. #raiseup www.si.com/onsi/breakaw...

If any other Canes fans wish to voice their displeasure about possible signings: Email: [email protected] Phone: 919-467-7825 STM Folks, y’all might want to contact your rep about it too.

The Canes are alienating women with this signing.

@erictulsky.bsky.social please do not sign McLeod or Hart. Please.

It Tulsky does this, he can fuck right off. Ruins everything he’s ever done. After being a Canes fan since Day 1, I’ll find a new team to pull for. I draw a line and this crosses it. FUCK. THIS.

We do not blame 4th liners. We do not blame 3rd pair D-men. We do not blame backup goalies. We do not blame rookies. We blame coaches, stars, captains, and anyone making over $5 million who does nothing.

Aho Ehlers Jarvis Svechnikov Stankoven Hall Kotkaniemi Blake Martinook Staal Carrier Robinson Jankowski That's a damn strong forward group, that's bound to get stronger this season with GMET.

So some of our very closest friends are named Ehlers. They are STM and have two twin boys... and you guessed it, their favorite player just signed to the Canes. I know it's silly, but I'm so happy for them RN. They are for sure gonna be the first family to buy those Ehlers jerseys!

Raise up, fam.

WE DID IT! EHLERS TO CANES! (At this point, I'm most excited to break the narrative!)

Last thought before I go to bed: perhaps the wait for and Ehlers decision is to avoid tampering talk. I can see both the quiet, modest Dane wanting no part in drama & the FO too. @hmof2.bsky.social made an excellent point abt his agent which I also think is likely. My 2 cents.

Well there’s another reason for me to root for the Avs as my Western team.

Me, with the Ehlers situation.

Yep.

We were paying Dimitry Orlov $7.75 million I do not care how much we’re paying K’Andre Miller #RaiseUp

If Cory says it, I respect it. So this puts me at ease about losing Morrow.

Okay, losing Morrow to the Rags is like, not cool at all. I guess if we HAVE to see one of our guys in their sweater, he hurts least but I still don't really like this. Meh. #raiseup

If this comes to fruition... it's this for me. The thought of a new generation of little kids that will see themselves represented in the NHL and have a new, big dream to chase. #raiseup

these three white men arguing on the TSN panel while Kevin Weekes looks on, being largely ignored, is a great reflection of the NHL as a whole 💀

OK Stan-Koven, it's time we make it official! #raiseup #stankoven #hockeywitch

I know this is a shared consensus here, but the Canes community here is miles and miles better than anywhere else online. Let’s have a damn good July 1, y’all!

Is Badinka problematic in any way? Hope not cause he just won me over in his little snippet with WRAL. 🥹🥰 #raiseup

This was my (naive and hopeful) way of thinking, too. Especially since we signed his BFF goalie recently. No way we’d let him go without some veteran Russian leadership. It’ll do him good!

Some of our Caniacs never had to live without DVR or wait to hit “record” for your fave song to come on the Top 10 Countdown & it shows. The hunger for Canes flashy updates is so real that I’m seeing tantrums & crazy proposals. Cool it, kids. Patience ain’t easy but it’s worth it. #raiseup

Ah yes, the motherfucker that concussed one goalie and tried to take out at least one other is totally deserving of winning the Conn Smythe. Real great precedent we’re setting here, #NHL

Saw Katie Holmes smoke a 🚬 after running The Loop back in early 2000s Wilmington. (I worked at a nearby restaurant and saw this often.)

Marner to the Canes? I’m not really for or against it. Just noticed how less enthusiastic our fanbase has gotten after the playoff chatter. Not long ago it was all “Rod can fix him.”🤔 Funny how much outside noise can shift the vibe.

The NHL's standard of officiating is just terrible. It's not just with those teams. The entirety of the officiating core needs an overhaul, but you can't talk about that unless you want to get fined $17.6 billion and suspended for 1454 games. These refs get more protection than players with CTE.

I blinked and suddenly my first-born was 16. It’s been an awesome day of celebrating this kid.

This right here. What many of us hockey fans have been frustrated about, put into eloquent words. A fantastic read. www.habseyesontheprize.com/nhl-let-them...

Opened TikTok to see this way-too-cute video of Burns helping out local kiddos at hockey camp. 🥹👏 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MEFnqq/
