Probably - there's a few of those names that would be very difficult to brand and he'll put his thumb on the scale if he doesn't think he can make it work. Like, the Glaciers feels really ambiguous,

it's a tongue-in-cheek joke because Qualtrics is one of the most pre-eminent survey platforms in the world.

Super weird that the leading poll getter was the Yeti, but the team ended up being named the Utah Surveyors

Open-ended polls are bad. Qualtrics - the company that made Ryan Smith a billionaire - is among the best polling software and methodologies available. They're going to lay some significant restrictions down here.

You know he announced the bat mitzvah like.... "My niece steps to the podium. She recites, she's done! It's AN ADULT JEWISH GIRL!!!"

Carolina's fanbase is broken in half right now. Shellshocked. Heartbroken. Flushed. They've turned on Brind'Amour. They're turning on the players. Go out on Saturday, slam our dicks on the ice like we're doing a Canadian Haka, and then enjoy another week off while every other team beats the ungodly shit out of each other.

No, they're in Carolina now.

I fuckin love this team.

THE FENWICK FUGAZIS GO DOWN AGAIN. RANGERS CAUSING A TROPICAL DEPRESSION IN MAY

Trocheck gonna do it again. Hero shit coming.

Gotta say, having Tony DeAngelo as your one D on the ice against the Rangers PK is a call, brindamour.

Fuckin BEASTMODE LAFFY BABY

Probably want Colorado to keep pimping "Saving Sakic". Else, the Edmonton or Vancouver narratives will ring out hard.

Oh geez, I didn't even notice a third period+ot only was posted. I was looking at the all in data here https://twitter.com/VallysView/status/1788566480809865612/photo/1

I mean....look at the data, and look at the outcome. Freddy was "just about" as good, but not good enough. Igor was +2 on high danger, Freddy was -.5 - that's the difference.

This time, we've got Samuel L Jackson.

And next year he'll play with Matty Beniers. Who cares? Our top 2 centers are charging toward Conn Smythe votes. Aho's charging toward a golf course.

Rather send them some of those "CRY" shirts with a different color palette.

I'd argue that there's incredible value in knowing that you can put a line out there and be guaranteed that the score will not change. That's worth a lot to a coach and it's worth even more in the playoffs.

Comfortably, with a 2-0 lead. Obviously.

Yeah. Even a 2OT goal to win a key playoff game is "just another day at the office". The difference in mentality for this group is so noticeable, so workmanlike, and so laser-focused on the big goal. A lot of credit goes to Laviolette for instilling confidence and work ethic, but I think the leadership group deserves some, too. It's obvious that they all took last year very, very personally.

I'll go back to this: Emily Kaplan asked Vincent Trocheck how it felt to score the goal, and he said it felt great, but it's "just game 2" That right there? When - EVER - have we had a team with this kind of presence of mind?

VINCENT FUCKING TROCHECK. CALL HIM DADDY CAROLINA. CALL HIM DADDY
