This will get lost in the maelstrom of overreaction to the Svech/Nikishin non-news this AM, but I examined the seemingly nightly slow starts by #Canes goalies and slow starts confirmed. Also, relax. How many wanted 37 gone a month ago? It's a long season. @albhood.bsky.social #RaiseUp

I think these two will enjoy living in the prison's general population.

New #Canes substack up that goes "inside the numbers" on the last 2 games: open.substack.com/pub/canessto... I've added a couple snips below. Hope you enjoy reading it and decide to subscribe (it's free) and spread the word with a retweet! @albhood.bsky.social @wademinter.com

Just posted a HUGE Substack reviewing the last 3 #Canes games: open.substack.com/pub/canessto... I think there is a statistical *something* in there for everybody! Give it a read (and subscribe, it's free). There's a snip below. @albhood.bsky.social @wademinter.com @hmof2.bsky.social

“Would have done numbers on Vine”

Pretty much, yep.

Very interesting post on Reddit about what causes repeated #flooding issues around Eastgate and University Place in #ChapelHill. Also, “Triassic Lowland” will be the name of my new band. I will not be taking questions at this time. @wchlchapelboro.bsky.social

Today's Random Stat: How often does your team load the bases with nobody out and how often do they fail to score in those innings? Below are team totals for 2025-to-date. NYY/SEA each have 15 such offensive innings, but SEA has FIVE squanders. 🧵 @peteabeglobe.bsky.social @alexspeier.bsky.social

Is #TwoWeekTACO up yet?

There is a real possibility that @hwinkler4real.bsky.social is the nicest man on the entire planet.

Sunday would be the perfect day for FIFA and the IOC to announce they are pulling the World Cup and Olympics from the USA. They could send the announcement to the president in a birthday card.

RIP Sly. Us Everyday People will keep Dancing to the Music. Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) ... and for all the great songs. Sad day.

#OTD “Twas the dark of the moon on the 6th of June in a Kenworth pulling logs.” MERCY SAKES ALIVE LOOKS LIKEE WE’VE GOT US A CONVOY @datesinmovies.bsky.social

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

This might be a good time to recall Arnold Relman's wise words: "There really is no such thing as alternative medicine-- only medicine that has been proved to work and medicine that hasn't." gizmodo.com/rfk-jr-is-op...

Yeah #Canes fans, the team's in the toilet. We should probably fire the coach.

Just imagine how funny Liar Liar 2 would be if instead of Fletcher Reede, all republican officials and Fox News hosts lost the ability to lie. Just picture it!

How hard are YOU laughing, Sabres fans? The guy running this account was told to bury Canes fans and failed miserably because buddy this ain’t the burn you think it is.

I love my team. #Canes #RaiseUp

I've never seen it so well put before.

“Well… nobody’s won four games yet.” - Jerry Remy, when asked if the 2004 Red Sox were done because they were down 3 -0 to the Yankees in the ALCS

I think we're well past time that every social media account should be connected to a verifiable person who can be held responsible for the content of their posts.

I love my team. #Canes #RaiseUp

I'll be there too! WE GOT THIS #RaiseUp

My mom offered the theory this morning that many of them are probably guys pardoned for 1/6.

LETS GO #CANES

Your School House Rock moment......

Trying to do time span comparisons. Part of my Aho comparison is below (Reg Season on left; 3/15-5/6,right). Help Gary understand hockey: Why does 20 get kicked out of so many faceoffs? It seems like it's him more often than anybody. @albhood.bsky.social @adamgold.bsky.social @wademinter.com

This is not just for you, Mike, but folks PLEASE tell us the PRIOR price. 6 bucks more than WHAT? "For the family" could mean it was $20 (30% increase) or $60 (10% increase).

No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

There’s an unstoppable crime syndicate in my city. Here’s the crew I want working together to stop them: John McLane Riggs and Murtaugh The Strike Team (Vic Mackey, Shane Vendrell, Curtis Lemansky) Jack Reacher Bob Lee Swagger Ethan Hunt

Man, the comments on every single #Canes related tweet are some version of “Burns sucks”. It’s quite a fascinating exercise in social media groupthink because there’s no way most of the commenters could identify whether one defenseman is better than another themselves.

There are so many “big #Canes fans” who do nothing but complain. Crickets when they win, “fire everyone” when they lose. I swear if I can just convince ONE FAN that sports are GREAT when you appreciate the games and understand the other team has good players too.

If I'm employed as a "reporter" at ESPN, this would infuriate me because it shows (again) that ESPN is no longer a serious source of sports journalism. We can now be sure the whole outfit is just out for attention/clicks. What a joke/circus ESPN has become.

Getting kneecaps broken by loan sharks to OWN THE LIBS. Was all this worth being able to freely say "retard"?

Pineapple Extraction

All the #DumpBurns #Canes folks seem to think swapping out 8 for Nishikin would just happen in a vacuum. Unless RBA is 100% certain benching 8 leads to more wins, no chance he’d risk losing the locker room at this point. I wish more people considered this very important aspect of the decision.

#Canes lost the faceoff battle for the 3rd straight game. During the reg season, the won that war in 52 of their 82 games. In playoff games away from home, Carolina has lost the faceoff battle in 9 of their last 12 dating back two years. @albhood.bsky.social @adamgold.bsky.social @wademinter.com

LOL at Liam Hendriks "FAH Q" shirt. #RedSox

It appears that the game level data links on @moneypuck.bsky.social have not updated with playoff game data yet. Unless I am missing something. Help!

Hey #Canes fans in the Triangle, be sure to claim your free Chick-fil-a sandwich tonight and eat free tomorrow! #RaiseUp

Americans voted for this to happen. Whether it was out of stupidity, malice, or both is rather irrelevant. It happened and it was a choice.

If you don't mind my asking, where are you seeing that they lead the NHL? I'm getting (via @moneypuck.bsky.social): 28.4% - all situations - 12th most 29.7% - 5x5 - 9th most 23.3% - 5x4 - 6th FEWEST

I'm going to try to post several "stats to track" during the #Canes-Devils playoff series throughout the day and tomorrow morning. First up, Carolina's maddening propensity to allow goals in the waning moments of first periods. @albhood.bsky.social @adamgold.bsky.social @wademinter.com

Are we really going to have to wait until FRIDAY to find out if the #Canes have a home playoff game SATURDAY?

DING DONG DOOK IS DONE

I’m telling you even the MAGA mouth breathers are eventually going to run out of patience for these buffoons. Their selfishness will “trump” their loyalty soon.

Who else is here tonight? Go #Canes! LETS DO THAT HOCKEY

127 different players have scored 20+ career goals for the #Canes/Whalers. Ever wondered who has the highest % of GWG (game-winning goals) on that list? Surely you guessed Jalen Chatfield! (30%; 6-of-20). @albhood.bsky.social @adamgold.bsky.social @wademinter.com @emanningwrites.bsky.social
