Hurricanes Melrose's sleeper pick of the playoffs

The Carolina crowd just given *daps* by Linda Cohn and Melrose on SportsCenter for how underrated and loud it is.

[Edited on April 14, 2009 at 6:49 PM. Reason : are we really even a sleeper anymore?]

<===== Will be in attendance in 335 on Sunday's game. Hooray playoff hockey

They just sent out an email a few minutes ago for Playoff College Night tickets. $25 tickets to Game 3 or 4.

4/14/2009 7:44:43 PM

well thats great. Didnt think they would do any promotions for the playoffs... must be a hard sell

4/14/2009 7:56:15 PM

Yeah, I'm not sure what that says about how ticket sales have been going.

4/14/2009 8:03:26 PM

4/14/2009 8:16:46 PM

Maybe it's not going HORRIBLE since it is only the upper deck they are selling for...
http://cdn.nhl.com/hurricanes/images/upload/2009/04/arena_map_041409.jpg

maybe they just want to try to get some people who normally wouldn't be able to go to these games addicted to it or something.



but probably just not selling well or something.

DO ONE

4/14/2009 8:23:46 PM

probably a dumb question, but you don't have to buy the student tickets online do you?
I don't have a state email anymore, but still have my student id

4/14/2009 9:46:56 PM

^they make you use your state email to do it. They don't check IDs, but they make you use the email to get them.

4/14/2009 9:49:10 PM

By the way a [Fail] to espn.com on the Hurricanes preview as the graphics have us as the Carolina Panthers.... http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs/2009/news?columnist=burnside_scott&id=4062800 *sigh*

In for Beard-A-Thon. Hopefully the team will last long enough in the playoffs for me to actually grow something will be visible in a dimly lit photograph. https://www.beardathon.com/hurricanes/DaleCooper/profile.aspx

ESPN got really excited over the NFL schedule release

4/14/2009 11:30:14 PM

^^^LOL at ESPN. You would think if they can devote 10 hours of NFL coverage from just the schedules being made public, they could get the 10 minutes of NHL coverage right.

4/14/2009 11:36:37 PM

Almost forgot to mention, Laviolette picked New Jersey to win the series. Then he picked Boston over San Jose for the Cup.

4/14/2009 11:37:10 PM

bitter, bitter man

4/15/2009 12:36:45 AM

I am hoping that all you know that Backyard Bistro opened up in the old Damons yesterday. Should be a packed house for each away game and for those hard to come by playoff home games. I am sure you all remember where it's at. Was fun all during the 06 season. See you there today at 730!

4/15/2009 1:44:03 AM

haha gg dweedle

4/15/2009 2:15:38 AM

hard to come by home playoff games? they're selling tickets at practically half off to college kids

you don't want to buy an ad, fine, but don't blow smoke up my ass you fucking cockwrangler

4/15/2009 2:40:04 AM

hey, random question, but does anyone know of any sports bars near preston in cary?

I play in an adult basketball league, and our 2nd round playoff game is tonight at 7:00 at the YMCA in cary which is kind of near preston. off cary parkway and high house. We are thinking about getting together to watch the canes game after our game is over with. We wanted to try to find a place close to the ymca that would have the game on tv so we could watch while we ate. I'm not familiar with that side of cary really. Does anyone know any sports bars or places with tv's in that area?

Thanks

4/15/2009 9:12:51 AM

I gotta get in on this beardathon business I think. I shaved one final time the day after we beat the Pens to clinch, and i've been growing my playoff beard ever since. It is now itching something fierce.

4/15/2009 9:40:11 AM

Sunday College Tickets are already sold out I believe.

4/15/2009 9:40:58 AM

^^hahahah awesome... i can't really grow a beard, but i'll try.. i won't shave until we win the cup!! (we're not gonna lose)


i can only grow a neckbeard so it won't get crazy. haha.



yeah, i got some last night, my friend wanted me to get him some today and they didnt have 2 together anymore, just single seats.

[Edited on April 15, 2009 at 9:42 AM. Reason : .]

4/15/2009 9:41:39 AM

hey daz ,sunset grill, or Rudinos will have the game on sound. fuck the back nine

4/15/2009 9:48:28 AM

I tried to buy 2 college tickets for Sunday last night and it wouldn't work, but I just tried again and I was able to get them together. So you might wanna try it now.

4/15/2009 9:49:46 AM

^^sunset grille is on harrison right? we were trying to find somewhere really close to the ymca in cary because everyone is coming from different areas.. but if everyone else on the team backs out, then we can go anywhere..

rudino's is close, i know theres one next to the bunkeys on high house, they have tvs?

4/15/2009 9:58:51 AM

^^yup it worked. Sweet, 50$ for two playoff games. I'll take it.

I e-mailed them earlier and they said they had to open more since it sold so fast.

[Edited on April 15, 2009 at 10:02 AM. Reason : ]

4/15/2009 9:59:44 AM

I have two extra tickets to game 4. 323 row H seats 1/2 - pretty much right in line with red line.
$50 for each. Anyone interested? I'm willing to trade for other games as well.

GAMEEEEEE DAY

and also, fuck FSN but credit to them for replying in less than 24 hours:

Quote :

"Thank you for taking the time to write. We understand your frustration with this situation and understand that you would rather see the Hurricanes in HD than receive an explanation back from FOX Sports Carolinas. However, several factors play into whether a game can be televised in HD, including the availability of an HD production truck from our truck vendors and the availability of HD transmission space from FSN’s national facility. Unfortunately, with FSN regional networks across the country televising the NHL playoffs and NBA and MLB regular-season games, we are not able to produce the Hurricanes’ playoff series in HD. We increased our HD schedule from the 2007-08 NHL season to the 2008-09 NHL season and are working towards producing a full HD schedule in coming years. Again, we apologize for this inconvenience and hope that you enjoy watching John Forslund and Tripp Tracy call the Hurricanes series against the Devils. Thank you."

4/15/2009 11:06:41 AM

thats a very nice response.

but still.

4/15/2009 11:16:17 AM

I'm starting to place the blame on the team now. They allowed FSN out of any hard negotiating, and probably didn't put a damn word about HD in the contract.

4/15/2009 11:17:15 AM

at least you guys have an FSN

4/15/2009 11:22:30 AM

BOOOOOO: Laviolette is picking Jersey to win this series.

4/15/2009 11:36:43 AM

haha, I wonder why?

I bet you he hates Carolina so much. JR and PK treated him like shit.

4/15/2009 12:36:14 PM

I just hope the Canes don't get too overconfident.

4/15/2009 12:38:17 PM

eh, Lavi had some nice things to say about us on Trade Deadline day.

I'm sure he's bitter....I mean, has anyone ever been broken up with so someone can reunite with the ex? That's a bitch.

but he's a classy man. wonder where he's coaching next year.

4/15/2009 12:40:34 PM

Just got tickets for Tuesday--I hope this isn't a bad idea in the middle of exam week!

4/15/2009 1:01:22 PM

Thats such a cop out response from FSN. In realize that the number of HD production trucks is still not where it needs to be, but cmon...no reason FSN shouldnt have had them reserved months ago to send out to whichever teams made the playoffs. I also like "coming years"...not next year, but "coming years". I wonder, how many pro teams have won championships in the past 10 years and still dont have all of their games on TV?

Tonights game is listed once on my Dish guide, on channel 475. Is this the FS-Carolinas broadcast? It doesnt indicate either way, and dont want to tune in at 730 to find out its not, and Im blacked out.

4/15/2009 1:02:17 PM

Yes it should be the FSC broadcast.

Yeah the "coming years" part of that email bothered me too...
