The fact that the three teams involved in the Rantanen saga are also the top 3 teams in the league at the quarter season mark is objectively funny.

Remember folks. In a night where every team is playing and they’re making this big deal of it all… this VGK/CAR game isn’t a national broadcast…

Canes are an absolute MASH unit now and all they’ve done this stretch of VGK->COL->DAL->VGK on the schedule is show a ton of guts.

This feels… different.

Pre-season Stanley Cup Champion final pick:

Canes vs Predators

Canes win in 5 to continue the Erik Haula loses against the Canes in the playoffs narrative. :-).

Tom Dundon finding every way he can to milk money from the NHL, now including players not even on his NHL roster.

Not surprised, I haven’t seen a rite-aid that wasn’t a dash mart or Spirit Holloween in forever.

Tom Dundon buys Portland Trailblazers to upgrade area around which includes where the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL play.

All this as a favor to his budding superstar Seth Jarvis, a former Portland Winterhawk.

Man, talk about knowing the makeup of your market and the power of keeping seats open purchase only for certain away teams.

Also, surprised PIT and BOS didn’t make the list.

Just in case people take any post I make seriously about an NBA team moving to Raleigh.

Dundon isn’t from Raleigh, he doesn’t live in Raleigh (lives in Dallas), he’s building his portfolio, that’s it.

Portland isn’t in trouble of losing their team, and will only lose it… continued.

TD building that sports portfolio for when MLB decides it wants to take him seriously in NC.
