If anyone’s interested in going to tomorrow’s Canes/Leafs game or Sunday’s Canes/Sharks game, let me know. I’ll let either pair go for $60, which is basically my cost. 314, 2nd row, no glass in front

I don’t know when my music tastes went from “Gen X dad” to “college age girl” but here we are

Lots of words on the Workrate Hockey newsletter today. We talk Brandon Bussi’s helmet, questionable signings in Chicago, the Survivor Series, and not wearing pants in libraries. Plus, a Cat Silverman reference! Subscribe for free or give me money, your choice workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

The Miami Dolphins are trying their best to not win this game

Hey if anyone’s going to the Canes/Calgary game today and needs a parking pass I’ve got one. Totally forgot I had it. Let me know if you need it

Dude, even the turkey is Gritty, Jesus, this is dark.

obviously 3 because all the other tables are too small

A reminder this Thanksgiving day for appropriate alcohol times Beer: noon (football prep, too early fills you up too much for dinner) Wine: 10am (earlier if you’re preparing food) Liquor (shots): approx 1 hour before in-law/extended family interaction Liquor (Baileys): whenever coffee is ready

lol sign worked

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.

The amount of times I’ve been in a mall and said to my wife “that kid is back on the ESCALATOR again” or said “a schooner *is* a sailboat stupidhead” or some variation of “breakfasts come and go but Hartford - the WHALE - they only beat Vancouver maybe one, twice in a lifetime”… man I’m annoying

Annual reminder about turkey frying safety:

Long Island folks! Someone please go get her and bring her home for Thanksgiving. You could be snarfing turkey with your new best friend 🍗🦃♥️

Me watching Canes Nation go into complete meltdown despite having one of the best records in hockey because of who’s starting in goal or a healthy scratch, while also having a newsletter to put out on Tuesday

“He’s not a dirty player” - Dallas fans, literally 5 days ago What the fuck does this guy have against Long Island? *adds Calgary to the list*

Went to the Fairgrounds today and got a PS3 and a Nintendo 64 so my day is going pretty good

this shirt idea came from the marketing department; not sure we’re a “merch” newsletter yet

If you are in the triangle or surrounding area, please consider sharing this to get more eyes on this pup...literally begging.

Before you sign off for the weekend, consider checking out the Workrate Hockey newsletter. Mikko Rantanen gets more enemies, the Canes dodge a bullet that drills the Rangers in the forehead, and a Song of the Day you probably haven’t thought of in 30 years. workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

This is awesome; watching Hyan in DPW I thought she deserved a bigger spotlight. I’m glad AEW is paying attention (and cheers to Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize for opening that door)

I mean, of course. Player safety is an illusion.

Wait, Scotland did it? And Kieran Tierney with the game winner no less? Hell yeah. Wait Craig Gordon is still playing!?

Many people are saying the Workrate Hockey Newsletter has improved their life up to 64%*. You’re subscribed, right? A new issue came out today. Check it out here: workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc... *figures are estimates - your mileage may vary

Meanwhile, in things no one saw coming at the beginning of the season

something something sellout streak something something season ticket waiting list

Brooksie was annoying as hell as a Canes fan (“Candy Canes” 🙄) but there’s no question he was passionate about the sport and was incredibly important for hockey media in New York. I popped when he slipped into my DMs once to talk about CBA during the pandemic. A major loss.

It still boggles my mind that AEW is giving this card away on free TV. I mean, I’m appreciative, but holy shit, man. Also Skye Blue is a gorram star

A Kendall Windham/Steve Casey 25 minute match just seems like a glitch you’d have running TNM with too many plug-ins. Yes, my own DEEP CUT in tribute to Tom Green’s great “Deep Cuts” series.

Still got it if you want it - best offer

Anyone need a parking pass for tonight’s Canes game? $28

The new Workrate Hockey newsletter is out, and we talk about the Last Battle of Atlanta, Godfather III, and finally a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure reference. Oh, right, and hockey. Subscribe for free or give me money, it’s your choice. workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

“Possibly the greatest #ThiccSix of all time” @mikegolicjr.bsky.social HE WOULD NOT BE DENIED

No shit. I understand there’s a literal transaction. The “automatic” meant that there wasn’t another waiver process needed. There’s no need to be pedantic, which you are awesome at and have been doing for *years*, searching out people talking about the CBA to insert yourself where you weren’t asked

There it is.

Checking in from Knoxville, and with Cayden Primeau on waivers, here’s a bit I wrote on October 21st for the Workrate Hockey newsletter about the situations with Primeau and Brandon Bussi:

If you’re curious why the Canes din’t go hard after Marco Rossi (#23) this offseason, this might be a hint as to why. Brind’Amour would have put him on the 5th line after that - dude should have been charged admission the way he watched Blake coast past him.

The Workrate Hockey newsletter came out to make your Friday brighter. We’ll talk about all kinds of misconducts, the difference in Nik Ehlers and Svech’s “bouncebacks”, and property holders wanting to see their product fail. Subscribe for free! workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

In hindsight, Staal punished Pitlick because they knew the NHL wouldn’t.

Would Mamdani's platform do as well everywhere in the country? Probably not. But you know what I think would? How clearly he did not care what Republicans and conservative media thought of him. He knows he'll be called a Commie by virtue of being a Democrat so he just does his thing.

Man it’s often depressing being a Dolphins fan but whenever I get too down the Jets do something to make me feel better

Is anyone looking to go to Thursday’s Canes game against Minnesota? We’ll be on our way to Knoxville, so willing to let our 300-level seats go for $60 total. Second row, 314 - Canes defend twice, basically dead center.

Today’s Workrate Hockey newsletter is out. We talk about injuries, line deployment, use dumb stock photos, and a Song of the Day where a reviewer noted he found the song's references to sex and mothers Freudian and disturbing. Subscribe for free! workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

A reminder:

my high school after my graduation:

8:15 and we’re… done? It’s Friday and the weather is perfect. Kids these days, man.

Also remember that it’s October 31 so it’s the last day you can legally drink pumpkin beer

but will they come for it

*taps the new sign*
