I'm far more familiar with the CHCCS calendar (and the open/dismissal times) to decide whether to drive by the High schools or the Elem schools - you do learn these things (like: Weaver Dairy or Estes?)

watching last night's game that I slept thru last night. The 4 goals are sweet, but the hit by Nikishin on Dickinson and the scrum and swagger have me chuckling on the sofa and rewinding to see it again.

Ah - that would explain much of it. There was a ton of inbound traffic backed up on 15/501 (Southbound) at 5 - like you see when there's a big MBB game at 7 oclock.

Chapel Hill was a nightmare driving home from work. No idea what was up - cars backed up in all directions. Guess it wasn't just me.

Personally, I was surprised to learn the Hurricanes have "made it to the Eastern Conference Final in each of the past three seasons" !!

I was told it was Carolina who had the issues with goalie durability. Didn't Markstrom also miss months last season, and their # 2 (36 yo Jake Allen) is not really a # 1B?

Relevant to Saturday's game (and suggests we might complete a Nedeljkovic-Mrazek-Forsberg hattrick of former goalies in California)

I fell asleep after the failed PP in the 2nd, going on the PK. Score was 1-1, and it was a snoozer, at best. So, yeah I'll be watching the replay tonight.

Why Sharks' Misa Had To Wait For His NHL Debut Michael Misa is playing his first NHL game on Tuesday and will face the Carolina Hurricanes, but why did he have to wait to debut?

Why did Michael Misa have to wait to make his NHL debut? Misa told me that he appreciated watching two games, and #SJSharks coach Ryan Warsofsky explained why #CarolinaCulture was the right matchup for him. Read on Sharks Hockey Digest.

agreed - they're still every bit as annoying to play as when they were coached by Torts. Sticks in every lane. Pestering, physical. And can take advantage of rare opportunities by actually scoring.

@michaeldiaz.bsky.social 5-3-1, but that includes just the wings and penguins

"He was somebody I identified in the summertime. He obviously ended up signing in Florida, but he was somebody who was on my list of people to go after. I had him down as somebody who is ready to make that jump to the NHL. I feel that's where his game is at right now."

sadly, the one player who forgot to wear his grey tracksuit was assigned to the cargo hold, with the luggage.

While I was busy watching this, the Flyers scored 3 goals to beat Florida?
Sweet!

what I'm wondering is if they got a matching outfit for everyone on the plane, how Tripp felt when they said: "no, players only"

Warsofsky says Smith has a lower-body issue, should play tomorrow, but something that he's been dealing with before Saturday's game.

So line-up isn't set in stone, but he confirms Misa and Dickinson are playing

Then again, the season will be 84 games long, which means more money. I'm okay with it, but yeah.
