What Hockey Fights Cancer Night Means to Me
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. Thatβs Carolina hockey.
There was so much lumber on the ice that Nick Robertson almost grabbed Nicolas Roy's stick. π€¨
Catching up after school tonight! Game recap from last night and this weekβs view are both coming later. Teacher life had to take priority after the game, but weβre back in hockey mode now.
It wasnβt 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 Nadeauβs reassignment to the Wolves and Chatfieldβs injury.

A spooky-themed night in Lenovo ends with a Canes win and a few milestone moments to celebrate. Nadeauβs first NHL goal, Svech heating up, and some real Canes hockey in the third.
Post-game thoughts from Canes vs. Islanders
The Canes gave everything they had, even with half the blue line gone. Vegas takes the win, but thereβs plenty to take away from this one.

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 Svechβs luck canβt stay this bad forever. Post game thoughts are up!
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 hasnβt 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.
Better late than never! My thoughts on last nightβs Canes game are up. Hard-fought battle, but falling behind early made it tough to catch up.
Week 3 is here and the Canes are still undefeated at 5β0! Between Canes After Dark milestones, another NHL debut on the way, and a growing hockey card collection, itβs been a full week of hockey chaos. See what Iβve been up to in this weekβs post.

Saturday hockey chaos is here again. Games stacked all day and night, and my Canes close it out at 9. Bussiβs back in net, KK returns, a few point streaks on the line, and Walker hits game 400 against his former team. Letβs go!
Tunnel vision
Puck drop for Friday night hockey is getting close, but Iβm still thinking about last nightβs 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.
This is so funny to me ππ
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
