Recording with Sports Director / Sports Anchor for Spectrum News 1 in Charlotte, N.C. , @mikesolarte.bsky.social ! Little bit of Rantanen talk going on.

Mike Solarte @mikesolarte.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Dust settled…if Rantanen (or his camp) wanted out of Carolina, so be it. Another upside of Stankoven: right shot centre (yeah I spelled it that way). Maybe not for this season, but down the road. And if his centre gets tossed, he can step in. All isn’t awful, gang. #Hurricanes

Bravo SNL. As someone who remembers the first season (as a kid), amazed at the longevity. Some casts were not as funny as the GOAT originals, but it’s stood the test of time. Here’s to 50 more! #SNL
