Leafs @ Hurricanes - Dec. 11th, 7:00 pm EST - TSN4

FWIW Carolina colloquially means either one or both together.  But I've never heard anybody use that term in regular conversation.  Unless you are James Taylor being lyric-y you say "Going to [North or South] Carolina."

Indeed. It feels like it was an ill-advised attempt to appeal to fans from both Carolinas when they probably should have worried more about appealing to any fans whatsoever.

Weren't they called the New England Whalers at one point?

Weren't they called the New England Whalers at one point?

Only in the WHA.

During the WHA days, yes. They also started off in Boston.

 

[Highlander]

Hartford Whalers, but no one could find it on the map.

Nailed it.  Email this to their new ownerguy.

Who are you and what have you done with Super Crabby Nik?

Along those lines, for all the people upset about Bettman going into the Hall is there any doubt that by far the worst HOF selection was Karmanos? He killed hockey in Hartford, had to be threatened with a lawsuit not to take the team to Detroit and eventually decided on taking it to a place where they've never been able to draw fans. That's a Hockey Hall of Fame Builder? He built what?

Super Crabby Nik is currently working as Sebastian Ahi's sidekick.

Resentment and animosity.

Today I learned that Tuna Crabs are a thing:

And they resemble Sebastian, the red crab that is Ariel's sidekick, who I also thought was a cooked lobster for the longest time.

Yeah, I don't know if I watched the Little Mermaid growing up. My sister was too old for Disney movies when it came out and I passed on them until they butched up with more macho fare like Aladdin.

I'll be watching how they play the first 10 minutes especially.  CAR came out last time and easily outskated them and even with the SOG inflation (29??) Svechnikov and a bunch of them made them look like woofers.  The Canes are fast and after 2 crap games in a row I hope the Leafs come out a-blazin'.

It's about time they completely crushed a team's spirit.

Bream options.

Other Leaf fan sites may have more extensive content, but we cover the Dada angle.

Haha missed that one on my first read through. And I learned a new word today!

Let's show these canes who's boss.

GO LEAFS GO!

Have to come out strong tonight.

That's what I say!

I know this may seem like a minor issue to most of you, but I really really dislike the graphic of the bleachers carving the way through the ice every 3 & 1/2 seconds. Come on guys after all these years make some new graphics that don't make me want to puke. 
And by the way, when I am on my early evening rant, why are we subjected to that home ice singer who can't sing, game after game. She seems like a nice young lady, but enough is enough. Give us someone different from time to time. Like someone who isn't trying to be a new singing sensation.

 

[Al14]

Or, will they sit back and try to weather the storm?

Huricane... pun intended.
