As 1 of about 11 people actually born and raised in Raleigh, and assuming there are some Rangers fans on this board, just wanted to say go Canes!!
I couldn't be happier to have meaningful sports to watch.

I see what you did there. You put your hurricanes thread in Giants talk, anywhere else it would have fallen into a black hole.
My sons godfather is a Canes fan. Never was a big hockey fan, but it’s fun to watch.

In the old days for sure!! |

I have no idea how people used to watch hockey. You can't even see the Puck before HD.

Canes won the Cup with my old Whaler fave Ron Francis leading the way. So go Canes!

Yeah, it wasn't terrible (poor choice of words by me), just gimmicky as you say but it was HD TV that was the game changer for watching hockey on TV. |

As much as I love my all time favorite Ranger Lundqvist, his puck handling skills coupled with guys like Staal (who cannot skate the puck out of trouble) in addition to the jitters of young Dmen (playing in their first playoff game) plays right into the hands of a strong forechecking team like the Canes.
So hopefully Shesterkin is ok for game 2 because he is the antidote.

It's funny because I stopped watching hockey shortly after Gretzky retired so I've missed the HD aspect to the game.
But maybe it's time for me to start watching again as we all could use sports.
