Hey, guess what? I’m writing again, and I’d appreciate it if you signed up for free. I go into a little detail here:

Carrying on, and whatnot.
Hey, here's a bunch of content - I've just got one favor.

this shirt idea came from the marketing department; not sure we’re a “merch” newsletter yet

If you are in the triangle or surrounding area, please consider sharing this to get more eyes on this pup...literally begging.
Sos: urgent plea!!! If you are someone you know has been considering adopting a dog and you have patience and love to give, please, please, please consider this sweet boy.

Before you sign off for the weekend, consider checking out the Workrate Hockey newsletter. Mikko Rantanen gets more enemies, the Canes dodge a bullet that drills the Rangers in the forehead, and a Song of the Day you probably haven’t thought of in 30 years. workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

This is awesome; watching Hyan in DPW I thought she deserved a bigger spotlight. I’m glad AEW is paying attention (and cheers to Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize for opening that door)

I mean, of course. Player safety is an illusion.
No further discipline is expected to come Rantanen's way for boarding Romanov.

Wait, Scotland did it? And Kieran Tierney with the game winner no less? Hell yeah.

Wait Craig Gordon is still playing!?

Meanwhile, in things no one saw coming at the beginning of the season
November 17, 2025 at 5:16 PM
something something sellout streak something something season ticket waiting list
Also speaking of tickets-this offer for tomorrow is still good. Lowers/Club Seats for $100. Uppers for $37. The uppers are almost out. Again the Hockey Fights Cancer game, always a special one. If Saturday is too expensive then maybe this is your best bet hurricanes.spinzo.com/carolina-hur...
Carolina Hurricanes vs. Vancouver Canucks

Brooksie was annoying as hell as a Canes fan (“Candy Canes” 🙄) but there’s no question he was passionate about the sport and was incredibly important for hockey media in New York. I popped when he slipped into my DMs once to talk about CBA during the pandemic. A major loss.

It still boggles my mind that AEW is giving this card away on free TV. I mean, I’m appreciative, but holy shit, man.

Also Skye Blue is a gorram star

A Kendall Windham/Steve Casey 25 minute match just seems like a glitch you’d have running TNM with too many plug-ins.

Yes, my own DEEP CUT in tribute to Tom Green’s great “Deep Cuts” series.
Today’s WCW DEEP CUT looks at the Chi-Town Rumble pay per view main event - no, not Flair versus Steamboat.

Still got it if you want it - best offer
Anyone need a parking pass for tonight’s Canes game? $28

No shit. I understand there’s a literal transaction. The “automatic” meant that there wasn’t another waiver process needed. There’s no need to be pedantic, which you are awesome at and have been doing for *years*, searching out people talking about the CBA to insert yourself where you weren’t asked
November 9, 2025 at 1:22 AM
There it is.

Checking in from Knoxville, and with Cayden Primeau on waivers, here’s a bit I wrote on October 21st for the Workrate Hockey newsletter about the situations with Primeau and Brandon Bussi:

If you’re curious why the Canes din’t go hard after Marco Rossi (#23) this offseason, this might be a hint as to why. Brind’Amour would have put him on the 5th line after that - dude should have been charged admission the way he watched Blake coast past him.
Jackson Blake needed no help 😮‍💨

The Workrate Hockey newsletter came out to make your Friday brighter. We’ll talk about all kinds of misconducts, the difference in Nik Ehlers and Svech’s “bouncebacks”, and property holders wanting to see their product fail. Subscribe for free! workrate-hockey.ghost.io/workrate-hoc...

In hindsight, Staal punished Pitlick because they knew the NHL wouldn’t.
I keep thinking of that game 3 in FLA where Tkachuk went after Aho late in the game and national press (Biz esply) was shocked how there was no reaction from the Hurricanes, questioned the team's culture?
I think maybe they chewed on that all summer.
Don't make the big man mad

Would Mamdani's platform do as well everywhere in the country? Probably not. But you know what I think would? How clearly he did not care what Republicans and conservative media thought of him. He knows he'll be called a Commie by virtue of being a Democrat so he just does his thing.

Man it’s often depressing being a Dolphins fan but whenever I get too down the Jets do something to make me feel better
