OH MY FUCK.. that pink tank top was incredible.

4/2/2009 10:52:47 PM

4/2/2009 10:53:25 PM

The tanktop itself was bad enough, dude had more chest and upper arm hair than a Wookie.

4/2/2009 10:53:30 PM

every time I see Avery play, he does something to make me lose even more respect for him. something I continually think is not possible

4/2/2009 10:54:59 PM

avery is almost laughable now....the thing is...he actually has some skill, but he's such a douch he doesn't use it

i want to sit next to the penalty box and have a sign that just says "lol avery wtf bbq"

4/2/2009 10:57:27 PM

I called Avery a turtle everytime he touched the puck. Solid game I thought, and one of the best displays of chest/upper body hair in a pink tanktop I have ever seen in my life.

4/2/2009 11:00:09 PM

4/2/2009 11:01:16 PM

Sweet game! The boos for Avery were much louder this time than the game last month.

Anyone have a Ward or Gleason bobblehead that they want to give up?

I've got an extra Staal bobblehead and a pretty sweet print of Gleason on the ice that they were giving out tonight to trade.

4/2/2009 11:01:49 PM

those lithographs are really shitty STH gifts.

4/2/2009 11:05:30 PM

considering that they let me pick them up for my friend who moved, it's not all that bad

besides, they still have whatever catalog type gifts that he was able to get too. this was just like an added bonus

4/2/2009 11:10:49 PM

for once in my life, i will give bonus points to pete soto for showing a scene from the room after the rangers scored #2

4/2/2009 11:27:35 PM

My father-in-law likes the lithographs. He frames them and puts them up in his hockey room.

wiseau tearing up the house and breaking shit...and that ridiculous shot of the TV landing perfectly square on the ground after he throws it out the window

4/3/2009 12:42:46 AM

I almost killed the guy sitting next to me in Section 301.

He absolutely wouldn't shut up and proceeded to explain to his girlfriend every single hockey rule at the start of the game, then proceeded to bitch about fairweather fans.

As he sat there in his Detroit Red Wings jersey.

4/3/2009 12:48:42 AM

btw, props to the crowd for going nuts for the entire shift after goal #4

4/3/2009 12:55:09 AM

great game...had it on the tv at work

4/3/2009 12:57:41 AM

"Tim Conboy was out of the lineup last night against the Rangers, but that didn't mean he was out of action. Tim spent the evening with his wife, Sheena, at Rex Hospital, where Sheena was giving birth to the couple's first child. Gunnar Price Conboy was born Thursday night at 8:20 p.m., weighing in at 9lbs, 2oz. Mom and baby are doing great, and that's one heck of an awesome hockey name for the next generation of Conboys. I also wanted to make note that a number of the players and coaches had plenty to say about the atmosphere at the RBC Center last night. I am pretty sure we reached sound levels unheard around these parts since the summer of 2006, and there is no doubt that the Caniacs are giving the Hurricanes quite the home-ice advantage these days. I thought my partner-in-PR Kyle Hanlin put it well when he said "It was chills-up-your-spine loud." Chad LaRose said it was "Completely awesome." It was just electric. “That was something else,” coach Paul Maurice said of the crowd. “In the third period they got it going and we were much better. I thought the fans picked us up.”"

4/3/2009 10:53:26 AM

congrats to him...and pretty bad ass name if you ask me

[Edited on April 3, 2009 at 10:56 AM. Reason : 9lbs 2oz!!! thats a huge baby!]

4/3/2009 10:55:47 AM

hahaha, from the Canes facebook



and GG Conboy! that is a really bad ass name too.

and omftailgating! I am so excited!

4/3/2009 10:59:56 AM

I, too, am ready to tailgate epically before the game tomorrow.

4/3/2009 11:08:16 AM

Just looking at some stats for a minute ...

Brind'amour had a grand total of 8 games in the positive +/- rating through February. (Lots of 0s, of course.) +1 Tampa on Feb 20, +1 Buff Feb 15, +1 @NYR Jan 27, +1 NJD Jan 6, +1 @Mtl Dec 21, +2 Washington Dec 7, +1 @ NYI Oct 25, +1 @Anaheim Oct 19. That's 8 positives in ~63 games. 24 negatives.

Since the beginning of March, he's had 10 positive games, 2 negatives, and 2 zeroes. +10 over the last 14 games. And he's scored points in 12 of those games (streaks of 5 and 7). 6 goals and 10 assists in the last 14 games (15 and 33 on the season). 0 goals, 2 assists in February (11 games). 0 goals, 5 assists in January (13 games).

What a huge turnaround he's had recently.

tailgating starts at 1 tomorrow!

4/3/2009 11:26:03 AM

^ Very thought provoking post concerning the Hurricanes efforts this season. Would read again.

4/3/2009 12:03:34 PM

likewise sir

4/3/2009 12:10:29 PM

we'll have everything set up in the 2000 lot.

4/3/2009 1:24:26 PM

So what does one have to do to obtain said Tuesday ticket?

4/3/2009 1:28:55 PM

NHLN had the LaRose day in the life on last night, and it was taped during the last Rags game. Prior to a faceoff larose told avery to "go back to your makeup and handbags" LOL

interesting note about +/-

Quote :

"Although the stat was pioneered in the sport of hockey, it has found its way into use in other sports and areas of life. For instance, the NBA's Houston Rockets have begun to utilize a modified version of the stat, which has helped expose the unheralded effectiveness of light-scoring Shane Battier. The statistic has also found its way into the classroom, being used by law school deans to identify effective professors "

"light scoring Shane Battier", lulz

4/3/2009 1:45:09 PM

Tomorrow's game has been sold out since at least yesterday.

RBC to be rockin once again tomorrow night, hopefully.

4/3/2009 3:47:41 PM

Whoever told you it was sold out was lying. I purchased tickets this morning at the box office, and checked ticketmaster this morning as well and saw available tickets. No doubt it may be near capacity or sold out prior to the start of the game, but as of 10:30 this morning anyway it was not a sellout.

Also, http://hurricanes.nhl.com is still showing a link to purchase tickets on the main screen.

Just ran a search on ticketmaster, 2 best available shows up as Section 227 in the club level. 2 upstairs yielded no return. 1 upper level gave me 302 row D.

4/3/2009 3:49:24 PM

read it on a different forum, never mind then.

i think it was sort of related to a forslund comment during the game last night talking about a sold out RBC saturday but i guess he was assuming

4/3/2009 4:01:12 PM

Definitely appears to be getting close anyway if there's only singles left upstairs, I didn't even check the bottom bowl though. It's possible before game time.

4/3/2009 4:02:15 PM

I do know there is very little left remaining for Tuesday's game in the lower bowl, couldn't even get 2 seats next to each other for the exchange game tickets in our eligible sections, if any singles at all, but I think there were a few left.

4/3/2009 4:05:54 PM

A few buddies and I are going to the regular season finale in New Jersey

4/3/2009 9:29:54 PM

4/4/08.....never forget

lets learn from our mistakes and finish this tomorrow with a win that would make us virtually a lock for the postseason.
GO CANES!!!!

4/4/2009 12:26:10 AM

A win tomorrow clinches the playoffs

We would have 95 points... the Panthers wold have 87 with 4 games left. Best they could do is tie us, but we have 5 more wins
