I shall be in attendance as well

11/5/2007 1:27:39 PM

another chance to watch the best #8's in the league

11/5/2007 1:51:50 PM

i get the feeling the attendance is going to be dismal

11/5/2007 1:58:18 PM

When are you tailgating?

11/5/2007 2:08:35 PM

I got some free tix from friends tonight, so I'll be there with 3 others

wooooooo!

11/5/2007 2:10:57 PM

Hopefully we'll be out there by 5:30 at the latest

11/5/2007 2:12:12 PM

Where in the dirt lot?

11/5/2007 2:15:23 PM

Not sure yet; I will PM you my phone number.

11/5/2007 2:16:13 PM

so if you buy tickets at the door they are only 9.99

11/5/2007 3:05:22 PM

Yeah, day of the game

11/5/2007 3:07:55 PM

what type of seats are these. im guessing upper nosebleeds but if attendence is low could you move to empty seats

11/5/2007 3:12:36 PM

It the same section as the $20 tickets.

11/5/2007 3:17:17 PM

we always tailgate in the same spot right outside carter-finley

some of my favorite tailgates ever have been hockey tailgates

11/5/2007 3:19:12 PM

^^^ if you're able to sneak into a section that doesn't have the staff standing there during one of the intermissions you could do that.. you just can't leave that section once you're in unless you sneak back in

110-114 its usually possible to do during one of the intermissions if there's a bunch of people.. especially when they are all coming out at the beginning of the intermission


and that was confusing to say

11/5/2007 3:24:19 PM

Cory "Fucking" Stillman with the natural hatter less than 12 mins in. 3-0 Canes

11/5/2007 7:35:11 PM

that's fucking amazing! damn i wish the game was televised

11/5/2007 7:48:12 PM

o shit

i actually have the game on up here in charlottesville, comcast sports net ft(rare)w

11/5/2007 7:55:22 PM

The gravity of this will likely be lost on most but here goes. My fathers HATES hockey. Due, in part, because me, my mom and my sister love it. Well hell has frozen over and my father is attending a Hurricanes game. (To his credit his was conductor of the bandwagon in 2006 when they won the Cup ) On top of that my mother is a Crapitals fan (because Chris Simon played there) so she is wearing her Craps jersey. So for my father's first hockey game he gets a natural hat trick and a fight all in the first period.

11/5/2007 8:05:36 PM

sounds like an interesting first game for him

11/5/2007 8:26:13 PM

kolzig is PISSED after that one haha

11/5/2007 8:35:40 PM

So my father said the game was boring and more fun on tv. So, yeah, my father is officially on crack. My mother didn't like the game because her team got destroyed. It made her feel better knowing that my Devils got smoked as well.

11/5/2007 10:04:30 PM

That was VERY FUN

11/5/2007 10:17:35 PM

hell of a game. We also came up with the concept of a Lipton Hat Trick. To obtain, one must get a goal, and assist, and teabag a guy.

11/5/2007 10:17:37 PM

awesome game, wooo!

11/5/2007 10:26:42 PM

does not compute

that first period was fucking amazing, and those hits through the game.
i wish it had been louder though, but for the size of the crowd it got really loud at times, just not after goals which is sorta puzzling

hopefully people around Raleigh will start to realize how good the canes are playing at the moment and start coming

i don't know how you seemed to have turned out ok, aside from the devils fandom, because it seems like both your parents are seriously cracked out.

11/6/2007 11:13:16 AM

haha, "crapitals"

11/6/2007 11:52:35 AM

Gonna have to try this again next time, but it came out kind of cool:

11/6/2007 3:59:23 PM

thats really awesome

what kind of camera are you using?

11/6/2007 4:00:47 PM

A Canon Powershot A520. It's not a great camera (you can see in the super huge version of that picture that the focus is terrible in a lot of spots); the real miracle of these pictures comes once I transfer them to my computer. http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html this is one of the most fantastic utilities I've ever seen. You just dump a bunch of pictures into it and it generates an image.

11/6/2007 4:05:30 PM

yeah that's pretty cool.. would be better with a full house though

11/6/2007 4:06:17 PM

Yeah, I was sad to see that. Worst attended regular season game here since 4/3/06

11/6/2007 4:08:44 PM

decision time

its finally time for a player jersey, not just a blank one

which would be the better long-term choice?

teh wizzard or commodore?

11/6/2007 4:45:42 PM

commodore

11/6/2007 4:46:49 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if Commodore is gone after this season, if not traded during the season. I think Whitney will retire a Cane.

11/6/2007 4:49:49 PM

which is exactly why i'm afraid to go with him, but damn i'd love to take that risk

11/6/2007 4:51:38 PM

you simply cant go wrong with matt cullen

11/6/2007 5:37:03 PM

neither can you fail with Williams.

11/6/2007 6:38:23 PM

Aucoin as well.

11/6/2007 6:47:00 PM

i went for the brindamour.

do you have some sort of discount, or are you going to pay the full 195?

11/6/2007 6:47:28 PM

I had the WHOPPING 10% off season ticket holder discount, so that took it down to 175 for me.

Dick's Sporting Goods has them for 150.

He wasn't even on the team like 3 months ago.

11/6/2007 6:51:06 PM

however, when he got traded back here, he said "he felt home"

things like that make it sound like he has no intentions of leaving again*






*I do realize he's a professional athlete.

11/6/2007 6:57:26 PM

plus he is locked up for what 3 more seasons, counting this one.

11/6/2007 6:58:40 PM

Canes Corner + tonight at the Village Draft House + half price rib night + free beer + random free stuff from 99.9 + two free $40 tickets for Thursday night handed to us on our way out the door = Win.

11/6/2007 7:24:15 PM

^ that's real nice.

[Edited on November 6, 2007 at 7:25 PM. Reason : where at?]

11/6/2007 7:25:36 PM

^^shit yea! nice

11/6/2007 7:26:26 PM

god dammit, i've always wanted to go to one of those too
