Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Am 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.” 000
Reposted by Gary MAJ @ncsox.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Years 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 2151

Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Micah 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? 000

Reposted by Gary MPeter Norton @norton.bsky.social · 31/03/2026In 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.

Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Sooooo: #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? 100
Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 29/03/2026#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.

Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 07/03/2026The #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 052
Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Those 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? 260
Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Andre 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 021
Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 03/03/2026From 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 300

Gary M @nuggetpalooza.bsky.social · 23/11/2025This 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.
