I am tired so I might not be able to make it.

The Canes have a goalie named Bussi, and one nicknamed Koochie, and it makes me giggle like a middle schooler every time

Seth Jarvis has a group of high school buddies who show up to games and go nuts for him, it’s very cute!!!

YAY! The coach is a good guy, beloved across the league. Flyers coach just called him "classy" on this interview I'm watching rn lol Also, the players seem like decent people (for the most part). No blatant assholes like some other teams. Loudest stadium in the NHL because the fans love them!

They’re based in North Carolina, which is the good one

We're a buncha jerks - cardiaccane.com/how-a-bunch-... Last I checked our reputation was one of the warmest fan crowds even to opposing team fans, and we introduced a buncha hockey fans to tail gating. www.wral.com/lifestyle/hu... The *loudest* stadium too - it was built for basketball cheering

And their goalie, Freddy Andersen, has been standing on his head this playoffs. An absolute wall! And he was considered a potential liability going in - we love a goalie exceeding expectations. ❤️

The coach is Rod the Bod Brindamour former Philadelphia Flyer

Wife and I just got into hockey this year. Our daughter likes anything weather related, so she goes for the Hurricanes. We also support Minnesota and Colorado so its been very interesting of late hehehe.

One of their main scoring hotshots is named Stankhoven

The city *loves* that team and gets crazy, especially for the playoffs. Barry Frickin Melrose called Hurricanes home games one of the best hockey environments he's ever been in

I’ve heard the term “active sticks” for 30-plus years, and I never fully appreciated it until watching the 2026 Carolina Hurricanes. These sticks are relentless.

Other teams have taken notice of the Carolina Hurricanes' dominant second line, but so far, nobody has been able to slow them down this postseason. thehockeynews.com/shortUrl/pJd...

Special teams, marquee names and the Flyers kicking themselves in the nuts were the stories of Game 3. Now the Carolina Hurricanes have a chance to pull off back-to-back sweeps on Saturday. Let's fire up the OG After Dark... youtube.com/live/VJjLljv...

The thing about the Flyers vs Hurricanes is simply that Carolina has more talent and playoff experience. The Flyers had legit opportunity to win game two, and generated a bunch of scoring chances in game 3. That’s not a bad thing! For where they are as a team, it’s a good showing

My hateriffic ways aside, I will say, this is so much less about Flyers and more about Carolina. Doesn’t matter who they got in round 2, the Hurricanes are an absolute wagon. Pens would more than like be in the same spot. Maybe 2-1, but not a “they got a chance” 2-1.

2-1 Hurricanes after two. Carolina will carry 70 seconds of the Dvorak power play over to the third
