What Hockey Fights Cancer Night Means to Me
Late one but worth it. The Canes wrapped up a wild weekend with a comeback win in Toronto and showed exactly what makes this team so fun to watch. Depth scoring, grit, and a little chaos. That’s Carolina hockey.
Post Game Thoughts: Hurricanes @ Maple Leafs 11/9/25
Come-from-behind wins are stressful, but they bring home the two points, and our boys did just that last night.

There was so much lumber on the ice that Nick Robertson almost grabbed Nicolas Roy's stick. 🤨

Catching up after school tonight! Game recap from last night and this week’s view are both coming later. Teacher life had to take priority after the game, but we’re back in hockey mode now.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was fun. The Canes battled through injuries, brought the energy back home, and walked away with two points. Now, on to Toronto.

Canes game day! Looking forward to morning skate to get a better idea of what the lineup could look like tonight, especially after Nadeau’s reassignment to the Wolves and Chatfield’s injury.

The Canes gave everything they had, even with half the blue line gone. Vegas takes the win, but there’s plenty to take away from this one.

The Canes game hasn’t even started yet, and I already have so much anxiety. Three of our top defenders are out as we take on the Avalanche. Three! This does not bode well for our guys. Maybe the Whalers jerseys will bring us some luck tonight.

Better late than never! My thoughts on last night’s Canes game are up. Hard-fought battle, but falling behind early made it tough to catch up.

Saturday hockey chaos is here again. Games stacked all day and night, and my Canes close it out at 9. Bussi’s back in net, KK returns, a few point streaks on the line, and Walker hits game 400 against his former team. Let’s go!
