LOL broken goal horn

2/23/2008 5:43:52 PM

I wondered if I was hearing wrong or something. Is the old Civic Center horn coming to the end of its days?



Pretty sure we have 100% zone possession time on the powerplay so far.

2/23/2008 5:54:14 PM

haha it sounds like it.. I'm sitting right under it

It still works but it sounds more like a boat horn



lolol right as I type this out they blow it and it works fine.. So never mind all that

[Edited on February 23, 2008 at 6:03 PM. Reason : and will someone keep their ass on ovechkin]

2/23/2008 6:01:29 PM

Still sounds like some weak sauce on tv. I think we have one of the best sounding horns in the league. Hope it's not broke

2/23/2008 6:14:41 PM

ya I agree.. It works for a sec then craps out

2/23/2008 6:19:45 PM

who taught ovechkin to pass?

2/23/2008 6:25:51 PM

Sorry dudes, the best goal horn is the one attached to the Rangers goal song.

#1 by a mile.

he looks like he got his helmet painted in myrtle beach

2/23/2008 6:53:21 PM

looks fun

and really helps out the standings

2/23/2008 7:12:06 PM

2/23/2008 7:12:46 PM

huge night in the division brewing.

Atl down 3-1 to TOR in the 3rd
Fla down 1-0 in the 3rd to Philly Florida wins.
TB down 3-2 to Boston. End 2.

2/23/2008 9:20:39 PM

went to this one, it was awesome.

fun side note: it was military appreciation night, and after we left the arena there was a sweet black apache helicopter that we got to see start up and take off.

coolest. thing. ever.

interesting side note #2: some moron tried to run up and touch the helicopter when they were warming it up. thought the soldier by the heli was gonna beat the crap out of him.

2/23/2008 9:39:53 PM

i hope they fix the goal horn

i really like ours

2/23/2008 9:49:04 PM

I've got that feeling again about this team.

THESE IS THE TIMES
THESE IS THE TIMES

I am out of town till Monday night, so the ghost of Peter Laviolette will not be appearing tonight. I can tell you, however, that he is not smiling yet, but will be grinning like a mad man if we can handle New Jersey on Tuesday.

SOUTHEAST 	GP 	W 	L 	OTL 	PTS
Carolina 	65 	32 	28 	5 	69
Washington 	62 	28 	27 	7 	63
Florida 	64 	28 	29 	7 	63
Atlanta 	63 	29 	30 	4 	62
Tampa Bay 	62 	25 	30 	7 	57

2/23/2008 11:56:33 PM

^ i guess that's appropriate singing as he rarely smiles anyway

god this thread moves so fast it took me forever to find it:

vinylbandit still have this opinion?

While we're going back in time, let me quote myself from Sergei Samsonov signing day

Quote :

"Fuck everybody I love you Sergei"

21 games, 7 goals, 9 assists, 16 points, +8

2/24/2008 12:32:09 AM

I've definitely had nothing bad to say about him

2/24/2008 12:34:42 AM

I'm going to also give a shout out to Andy Ladd, who I did indeed doubt on multiple occasions this season.

In the month of February:
11 GP, 4 G, 6 A, 10 PTS, +11

2/24/2008 12:35:44 AM

yeah, he's been playing good lately too. seems like he's been more physical, but that's just me.

actually it seems like the whole team is being slightly more physical than they were. right around the allstar break is seemed like they flipped a switch (well from.. no physical play to okay physical play)

2/24/2008 12:38:02 AM

puck_it and i are still waiting 'til the last minute to pay our playoff monies

i'm not about to say i'll regret spending it, it's just that i'd like to have it, too

lol

even though brookbank is an awful fighter, the fact that he'll go to war for anyone on this team has given them a spark

the energy that aucoin/bayda bring (in place of chad) hasn't hurt, either

2/24/2008 2:41:22 AM

holy sweet jesus i just realized that the canes have more GA than anyone in the eastern conference

2nd most in the nhl

2/24/2008 2:48:37 AM

Yup. Thanks to poor defense and a streaky goaltender. I am glad we got rid of Mike Commodore though. He's a freakin' -5 in 6 games with Ottawa. It's horrible.

2/24/2008 6:46:59 AM

But 5th most GF
Earlier in the season, when we lost in regulation, we lost big.

2/24/2008 10:50:43 AM

it might be a tad premature but Laviolette's system seems to be made for guys like Corvo. His impact on the powerplay is undeniable.

2/24/2008 10:57:13 AM

Is his impact on the PP undeniable because of the system, or because he can actually hold the puck in the fucking zone?

On the upside, Kaberle is looking better now that he doesn't have the pressure of singlehandedly ruining the PP every night.

2/24/2008 11:05:35 AM

i think its because we can actually hold the puck in the zone, at least.

corvo seems to be great at doing so

2/24/2008 2:26:53 PM

any word on Leng Slewey?

2/24/2008 3:23:11 PM

lets see....

GO HURRICANES

2/24/2008 5:25:32 PM

at least they seem to have turned it around

2/24/2008 5:28:58 PM

TWW tailgate before the March 16th afternoon game against Ottawa IMO

2/24/2008 5:32:43 PM

fwiw, that's the ACC championship game, so i might have a little bit of interest

i know NC State will already be long gone though

2/24/2008 5:33:31 PM

i say we have one before the march 25th game against the caps

i'm already planning on having one anyways

2/24/2008 5:35:41 PM

o I did not realize that

John Madden just scored in OT - Devils win. Canes control their own destiny (just 17 straight wins to end the season and we clinch!)

2/24/2008 5:38:26 PM

I'd be down for March 25...

2/24/2008 5:44:19 PM

Vulcan91 I have to thank you for always keeping me posted in this thread with not just our standings, but the games we need to watch out for every few days. Its helped me stay on top of hockey way better than I could be doing. So thanks man.

GO CANES!

I'm down. I was actually going to post the same thing since I'm just going with one friend and a two-person tailgate isn't too exciting.

^oh shit! I've heard tales of this Eaves character, but wasn't sure if he actually existed.

2/25/2008 12:40:59 PM

w00t seids

w00t eaves

w00t w00t leng slewey

2/25/2008 1:10:26 PM

Having Seidenburg back will be huge.

2/25/2008 1:17:28 PM

I give up. WTF is leng slewey.

2/25/2008 2:10:01 PM

Compare the three people here

And maybe you'll figure it out.

2/25/2008 2:19:48 PM

I feel like I should give the backstory:

A few seasons ago, one of the games they played during TV timeouts was a name scramble game with the players. They'd have some kid downstairs with Ron the Ref, and show something that was usually unpronounceable, like "CNIALS LLIWAN" or "STRRAU RBIE." One night, however, the name scramble was "LENG SLEWEY," which is entirely pronounceable.

It stuck.

2/25/2008 2:50:41 PM

Ah, gotcha.

2/25/2008 3:26:07 PM

i'm looking at my twc guide and it says the game is blacked out on center ice tomorrow. any television??

2/25/2008 5:43:46 PM

^THey should remove that blackout, I don't think they've blacked out a single game. Don't they usually say that till the time of the game so that you'll buy tickets.
