Dear Mr. Nikishin,

As a Canes fan who was checking in on SKA sites prior to your arrival, consuming every video, I could. I got our family pretty hyped up for your arrival, and loved your growing game last year. We always looked for you on your shifts. A concussion in the playoffs really sucked, we hope you healed well. Just want to say, it would be wonderful if you came back to the canes, even for 2-3 years in a prove-it mindset.

Signed, a Canes family

We are looking very nice same vibes as last year.

To be injured early on, be a decade of competing years, and defending cups champs?

Let me tell you,

I’m stoked for Nadaeu and FUS coming up.

Love our prospect pool and we still have draft capital and cap space

Don’t mention if somehow boom comes back and DeLo is such an asset to add ahytime.

Been such a huge fan of his, currently a top 5 fighter.

Last 5 years top 5 fighter.

There isn’t a team that can bully us with him in roster.

Eric T is the Jeffery Laurie of hockey.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk

Hey everyone!

I recently found this Reebok/CCM Carolina Hurricanes jersey at a thrift store for $10 CAD. It has around 15–20 signatures across the front logo.

I don’t really watch hockey or know much about it, so I’d appreciate some help figuring out what I found!
I’m mainly wondering:

Can anyone identify the signatures?

What year or team roster could this be from?

How much would something like this be worth?

I’ve attached some close up pictures of the signatures and tags.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That’s pretty classy. I’d like a forklift

Between this and KK’s line being tied with the McDrai line it is a rough week for the haters and doubters

Never got around to posting this before opening night! Was pretty happy with this minus the red paint that got on the bottom of the seven.

Starting on Aho and Ehlers next. Im hoping for a Blake jersey next, thinking of putting his OT philly playoffs celebration on that one.

Ignore the Canes in the news and on the web. Might be the best team in the NHL but lets glaze the Tkachuk's and gush about Vegas

So, it would seem that not even a Stanley Cup can get us our due....

Anyone know where the cup will be next?

My radio feed of the game the other night was constantly starting and stopping and had ads running after every few minutes. After reaching out to the 99.9 station itself, they told me that per new NHL guidelines we cannot stream games outside of a 500-mile radius of Raleigh. Anyone else having a similar issue?

What a lame choice to make. Anyone have a potential workaround besides a VPN?

With his 2 points tonight, he is now tied with McDavid. Oh and Svech is tied for fourth. Oh and we lead the league. Anyways..............

Fellow Caniacs, just wanted to let folks know there's a program out there where you can donate tickets you can't use to local teachers and get a tax donation receipt in exchange. Tickets for Teachers. They can take tickets up to three hours before the game. Nice way to make sure they don't go to waste if you're ever scrambling. More info here: https://rootedindps.org/projects/tickets-for-teachers/

I love the sport and I've played it most of my life. I'm a goalie, so most of my insights come from playing goal.

My question is specific to the canes...

Every year there seems to be a fourth line forward who comes to life in October. Obviously Jank is doing that right now... But there have been a few over the years.

They typically cool off around Thanksgiving and go back to their normal cadence of 10 goals. Maybe a handful of assists... Excellent energy.

What causes that? Is it Rods system?

He's batshit crazy and I love him!

I did a couple things different here. First, I looked just going into the third period. So blowing leads, or coming back from a deficit in the third.

Then I looked at this controlling for team quality. Not in the worlds most rigorous way, just imagine this scenario:

1. You play 100 games, and in 35 of them you enter the third behind
2. You win 9 of the 35, which is 26%. Is that good or bad?
3. Well, in your other 65 games you took about 78% of the points, and other teams in the league at that level come back from trailing at 15%, which is ~5 games.
4. Therefore, you make come backs a bit more than expected, 4 more times than expected.
5. Over the five and change seasons, anything within about 9 games of expectation is normal variation

I think this gives a much more interesting picture of teams that make come backs and blow leads, irrespective of just "good teams good bad teams bad."

BTW, in 466 games the Canes came back in 28 of 135, expected 25 (+3) and blew 25 of 226 leads, expected 21 (+4)
