I assume it was the ushers, because the entire 328 section (and no others) had them.

what a bunch of pussies

4/4/2010 12:43:29 PM

Ahahaha holy shit

4/4/2010 2:20:58 PM

During the Buffalo game they gave those to my section (314), I don't know if they had given them to others that night, but it was just rows A and B. Those were actually the most tame Buffalo fans too that I had experienced in my time at the games too, so it was funny that it was that game and about half way through the first if I remember correctly.

Fucking 327 douchebags.

4/4/2010 9:30:11 PM

Can someone explain to me the whole section 328 thing. I just want to know. Thanks.

4/4/2010 11:28:41 PM

328 rows C-F has been the same group of folks for years. It's mostly goofy folks who like to watch hockey, say silly stuff, cheer the team when they're doing well, and make fun of the team during the times when the games are hard to watch. Because of the familiarity, there are some things that have become routines over the years, like yelling "CHEATERS NEVER WIN" after every opposing team penalty, or yelling "SHOT" (away) or "SAVE" (home) every time a goalie stops a dump-in in front of the net.

BTW, what the hell would we do if there was a Toskala moment and we scored on one of those?

i can't wait to hear Puck Daddy talk shit about how this is such a shitty venue for an allstar game

4/6/2010 2:23:08 PM

I think it would be awesome to schedule a State/UNC basketball game around this on the Saturday before the All-Star game. Good job Canes though, they've been pushing for this for a while.

4/6/2010 8:18:02 PM

guess they want to talk about the AllStar Game now to gloss over the fact we're going to have the 8th pick.

I don't know who the fuck Dan London is, but he has 3,000+ followers and a lot of people are passing this word around as fact. Apparently Forslund said it on 620 this morning.

"RALEIGH -- NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will host a press conference regarding future NHL All-Star Games in Raleigh on Thursday, Carolina Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford said in a phone interview Wednesday. Rutherford would not confirm that the Hurricanes had actually been awarded the 2011 All-Star Game, and noted that the league had opened up the application process for the next three All-Star Games. But the Hurricanes had bid for the 2011 All-Star Game in January. The application was hand-delivered to league officials by Rutherford while the Hurricanes were in Manhattan to play the New York Rangers in late January."
