Am I the only one who, when the announcer described Jelani Thurman as “he’s six foot six and weighs two forty five” didn’t even miss a beat, belting out: “Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip and everybody knew you didn’t give no lip to big Jelani.”

Years ago, I was in Bradley Airport when I saw Mike Ditka sitting alone near a United Airlines gate. I said "Hey, coach" and he smiled, stood up and came to shake my hand. He could have just ignored me. I'll never forget how nice he was to me. #RIP

Just despicable people. All of them. It’s not just that they’re corrupt and shitty at their jobs - they’re terrible humans.

1 of 252 regulation periods in the books. Here are the records last year in games that were scoreless after 1. #Canes (5-3-0) had 2nd fewest such games. FLA was 7-5-2.

There are a lot of replies to this saying "but I was homeschooled and I'm a genius." Ok cool congrats. The average homeschooled student "graduates" "high school" with the equivalent of a sixth-grade education. In 20 years teaching, I've never seen a homeschool success story. They're rare exceptions.

Micah this is VERY informative. Is it way too much to ask for this in a format where it shows game blocks of 10-20 games and keeps the team names in the left most column?

HANG ANOTHER BANNER! 🏒🏆 "Respect Your Ehlers" started the season 5-9 then reeled off 9 straight wins to lift the Cup! Thanks to @domluszczyszyn.bsky.social and @theathletic.com for another great fantasy hockey season!

In elementary school I observed that children who were ashamed of their ignorance called things they did not understand “stupid” and “dumb.” The practice protected their egos at the expense of their minds. Both words remain favorites of the insecure Secretary of Defense.

Sooooo: #Canes have the 2nd best Cup odds (1-in-7) but are still less than 50-50 to make the ECF because THAT'S HOCKEY BABY but much of #CanesTwitter is all BLOW IT UP if they don't win the Cup? Is there a better answer than #CanesTwitter needs to learn how probability works?

#Canes failed to score in the first half (30:00) last night for the 12th time this season (tied for 4th FEWEST) and are now 4-6-2 (41.7%) in those games, the 6th best such record in the league. Here's the data for this season-to-date: @adamgold.bsky.social @albhood.bsky.social @wademinter.com

Per @kenpom.com only 9 teams have *never* ended a season outside his top-100 since he began doing his ratings in 1997. And only 1 of those 9 has also never ended a season in the top-10. Xavier ... who enters the Big East tournament at 97!

The #Canes allowed only 16 SOG to Edmonton last night. It was just the 3rd time in the Oilers last 559 games that they haven't had 17+ in a game. It was the 2nd time #CarolinaCulture has held a team to 16 or fewer THIS MONTH. @albhood.bsky.social @wademinter.com @corylav.bsky.social

Those poor, downtrodden, Hurricanes, with a bad GM, a dumb coach who hates his GM, and tiny unskilled players who are ready to quit because of the GM, just keep stumbling ass-backward into win after win after win. It’s possible that the #Canes are good and it’s some loudmouth FANS that suck?

Andre Svechnikov's goal 1:17 into last night's game was the #Canes 2nd fastest PPG since at least 2018. The only quicker one? 1/6/2019 at OTT, 1:12 in by Justin Faulk. @albhood.bsky.social #CarolinaCulture

From Monday's #Canes shot table: Only 2 of CAR's 57 unb shots generated a rebound (Svech/Stankoven). CAR is last in reb generation (7.2%) and Svech (4.4%) is team's worst and Stanky (12.3%) is the best. Is this luck or something more? @albhood.bsky.social @wademinter.com @ryanhenkel.bsky.social

This will get lost in the maelstrom of overreaction to the Svech/Nikishin non-news this AM, but I examined the seemingly nightly slow starts by #Canes goalies and slow starts confirmed. Also, relax. How many wanted 37 gone a month ago? It's a long season. @albhood.bsky.social #RaiseUp
