Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes @ Maple Leafs 11/9/25 Come-from-behind wins are stressful, but they bring home the two points, and our boys did just that last night.

Late one but worth it. The Canes wrapped up a wild weekend with a comeback win in Toronto and showed exactly what makes this team so fun to watch. Depth scoring, grit, and a little chaos. That’s Carolina hockey.

There was so much lumber on the ice that Nick Robertson almost grabbed Nicolas Roy's stick. 🀨

Catching up after school tonight! Game recap from last night and this week’s view are both coming later. Teacher life had to take priority after the game, but we’re back in hockey mode now.

Post Game: Hurricanes vs Sabres 11/8/25 Saturday night hockey in the Lenny is back, and it sounded like the building was thumping through the broadcast.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was fun. The Canes battled through injuries, brought the energy back home, and walked away with two points. Now, on to Toronto.

Canes game day! Looking forward to morning skate to get a better idea of what the lineup could look like tonight, especially after Nadeau’s reassignment to the Wolves and Chatfield’s injury.

Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes vs Wild 11/6/25 Hockey returned home to Carolina for Women in Sports Night, and the team did not disappoint.

The Canes are finding their rhythm again. Contributions from everywhere, questions in net, and one milestone night. Full postgame recap now live.

Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes @ Rangers 11/4/25 The Hurricanes made their first trip of the season to the Big Apple, and while we didn’t get the Keandre Miller return to Madison Square Garden game many had hoped for, we did get something just as go...

The Canes locked it down in New York. PK’s shutout, Ehlers’ spark, and the defense came to play. Full postgame thoughts are up now!

Canes hockey in the Big Apple tonight! PK’s back and getting the start after looking sharp in Chicago. Let’s see if the lines from practice stick and if we can start this week off with a win.

Season 2, Week 5: Tricks, Treats, and Turning Points Week 4 brought the spooky season to an end, and of course that carried right into the hockey world.

Week 5 is here, and spooky season might be over, but the chaos isn’t. Injuries and fantasy lessons are all part of this week’s recap and a look ahead to what’s next. #RaiseUp

Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes @ Bruins 11/1/25 The Canes headed north for a Saturday afternoon matchup in Boston, with Seth Jarvis back in the lineup after taking a puck off the ankle on Thursday.

Another tough test on the road for the Canes. Some bright moments, some lessons learned. Post-game thoughts are up now.

Post Game Thoughts: Islanders @ Hurricanes 10/30/25 The Canes wrapped up their two-game home stand with a spooky-themed night in Lenovo and a strong showing against the Islanders, earning a well-deserved win and another two points.

A spooky-themed night in Lenovo ends with a Canes win and a few milestone moments to celebrate. Nadeau’s first NHL goal, Svech heating up, and some real Canes hockey in the third.

Post Game Thoughts: Golden Knights @ Hurricanes 10/29/25 Hockey was back in Lenovo tonight, and so was the chaos.

The Canes gave everything they had, even with half the blue line gone. Vegas takes the win, but there’s plenty to take away from this one.

The πŸ‘» is back!

After missing three games with a lower-body injury, defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere returns to the #Canes’ lineup tonight.

Frederik Andersen starts in net. Pyotr Kochetkov (LBI) will not dress.

Season 2, Week 4: Back Home, Fantasy Lessons, and Finding the Next Focus Week 3 was a wild one, full of chaos and caffeine.

Canes After Dark is over and the team is finally back home! Week 4 brings normal sleep, Lenovo energy, and maybe a few fantasy hockey lessons learned the hard way. New post is up: β€œBack Home, Fantasy Lessons, and Finding the Next Focus.”

Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes @ Stars 10/25/25 What a road trip.

Road trip wrapped! The Canes finish 4-2-0 after two wild weeks of Canes After Dark. Young guys showed up, the power play still needs work, and Svech’s luck can’t stay this bad forever. Post game thoughts are up!

Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes @ Avalanche 10/23/25 What a game.

What a night in Denver. Injuries, altitude, penalties, and still the Canes found a way to hang on and grab the shootout win. Post game thoughts are up now!

The Canes game hasn’t even started yet, and I already have so much anxiety. Three of our top defenders are out as we take on the Avalanche. Three! This does not bode well for our guys. Maybe the Whalers jerseys will bring us some luck tonight.

Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes @ Golden Knights 10/20/25 The Canes After Dark series continued Monday night in Vegas, and while the first few minutes brought some hope, things quickly went downhill.

Better late than never! My thoughts on last night’s Canes game are up. Hard-fought battle, but falling behind early made it tough to catch up.

Season 2, Week 2: Early Starts, Late Nights, and Fantasy Chaos Week 2 of the NHL is here!

Week 3 is here and the Canes are still undefeated at 5–0! Between Canes After Dark milestones, another NHL debut on the way, and a growing hockey card collection, it’s been a full week of hockey chaos. See what I’ve been up to in this week’s post.

Seth Jarvis is the first player in NHL history with four game-winning goals through his team’s first five games in a season.

Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes @ Kings 10/18/25 The Canes are now 5-0, but this one was far from easy.

The Canes stay perfect after another chaotic late-night win in LA. Staal’s early goals, Jarvy’s OT magic, and plenty to unpack from this one. Post Game Thoughts are live! #RaiseUp

Saturday hockey chaos is here again. Games stacked all day and night, and my Canes close it out at 9. Bussi’s back in net, KK returns, a few point streaks on the line, and Walker hits game 400 against his former team. Let’s go!

Puck drop for Friday night hockey is getting close, but I’m still thinking about last night’s Canes game! Milestones, scrums, and a whole lot of energy. Now to get ready for the Kings on Saturday night.

With some help from our good friend Andrei Svechnikov, Alexander Nikishin is interviewed after scoring his first NHL goal.

An unforgettable night for him.

Canes After Dark continues tonight! Excited to see the boys take on Anaheim. Hoping the top line keeps shooting, the power play finally clicks, and the momentum keeps rolling. Late night hockey is worth it when they play like this! #LetsGoCanes
