Trade deadline this Friday.

Canes rumored to be trying to get Trocheck back, he’s what I think they need, a pest who is good on the dot.
Went last weekend to Cubs, Giants, and Rockies stadiums.

Not sure where you’re staying but we stayed in Scottsdale. We walked to the stadium and I echo the comments above that there is a lot to do there. We bar hopped on the way back from the game.

The Cubs stadium is nice, and the Rockies/D-Backs stadium is big. The day I went there the Rockies were playing the White Sox and attendance was low. The Cubs stadium will be packed.
There oughta be a law with no bail if you smash a guitar you to go jail.
If the casual fan who enjoyed the gold medal game realizes that the NHL playoffs is almost as fast and intense as that game, perhaps they would tune in, and maybe pick up a team to follow going forward.

I see the NHL as a regional niche sport outside the original 6 markets. I live outside Raleigh and when I travel the state for work, if the Canes are playing I have to ask the bar to put one TV on the game 50% of the time.

Watched it. I was almost 12 and already a hockey fan after going to a WHA Birmingham Bulls game. Eric Heiden and the hockey game inspired me to teach myself to ice skate (at the Galleria rink in Houston).

I re-watched Miracle on a flight a couple days ago, and watched the recent Netflix documentary. I can’t remember which player said it, but he said that to this day he never tires of people bringing that game up and listening to fans tell him how much that game meant to me. Hell, I could say that game eventually led to me being an NHL season ticket holder even though I’ve never lived outside the south or ever played hockey.

Leafs fans have been shitting on him all tournament Complaining he doesn’t play like that for them.


Leafs fans should also be complaining that the USA has won two gold medals in hockey since they last won a Stanley Cup
Sam Bennett must have forgotten he’s not wearing a Panthers jersey and can’t get away with that kind of stuff in the Olypmics.

Cactus League - Experiences?

Posted by Warheel on 2/16/26 at 8:42 pm
Been to Florida spring training countless times and opportunity presents itself to go to Phoenix for Cactus League for the first time this weekend. Have tickets for Cubs at Sloan Park Saturday and Giants in Scottsdale Sunday. I have Monday free and am trying to decide where to watch workouts that day, thinking of Salt River.

Any tips from those who have been? Restaurants, things to do in Scottsdale area for post game activities?
Can’t afford to get off to another slow start tomorrow.

We used 2 and 3 irons as sticks and a Skoal can wrapped in electrical tape!
I used to pull for Canada until I took a job with a company based in Buffalo and traveled up there a couple times a month for a few years.

I love hockey and would go to Sabres games if they were at home. At the time the Sabres were good and the arena would be full. Whenever a Canadian team was in town, a quarter (half if it were the Leafs) m of the arena would cheer for whenever the Canadian team scored from the Canadians that drove across the border to go to the game.

frick the snow Mexicans.

And NC State can say the same thing about UNC.


Most kids that grow up in NC don’t want to go to State, they want to go to UNC. A lot of the ones end up going to ECU, Charlotte, or App State still pull for UNC

That Canes comeback in the throwback uni’s was glorious


Indeed!

We share season tickets with another couple and unfortunately last night wasn’t our game, it would have been insane to have been in the building for that.
It does suck “losing” them when they make hormones. But if you have been a loving dad they will come back to you.

For years every Masters Sunday she’d jump in my lap to watch the green jacket ceremony. When she was 12 or 13 when I told her the ceremony was about to start and she rollled her eyes. Ouch.

Fast forward when she was 20. I asked her if she wanted to go to Houston for the weekend during her summer break to watch the Astros with me. I did plan a few activities she would like as well. She agreed to go and we had a great weekend.

I had no less than three people I met during that trip tell me that their daughter would never do anything like that with them.
As an aside, if any of you visit State’s campus in Raleigh, make sure to check out Reynolds Coliseum. When it was built it was the largest arena in the Southeast. It’s a neat piece of ACC history.
A co-worker took me to one last year. The grilled wings were actually pretty good.
