Very interesting post on Reddit about what causes repeated #flooding issues around Eastgate and University Place in #ChapelHill.
Also, “Triassic Lowland” will be the name of my new band. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Around the league there have been 30 zero-run "squanders" out of 288 innings where the bases were loaded with none out, a 10.4% rate.
It sure SEEMS like more when it's YOUR team at the plate!
This has been your RANDOM STAT OF THE DAY.

Trying to do time span comparisons. Part of my Aho comparison is below (Reg Season on left; 3/15-5/6,right).

Why does 20 get kicked out of so many faceoffs? It seems like it's him more often than anybody.

There are so many “big #Canes fans” who do nothing but complain. Crickets when they win, “fire everyone” when they lose.
I swear if I can just convince ONE FAN that sports are GREAT when you appreciate the games and understand the other team has good players too.

All the #DumpBurns #Canes folks seem to think swapping out 8 for Nishikin would just happen in a vacuum.
Unless RBA is 100% certain benching 8 leads to more wins, no chance he’d risk losing the locker room at this point.
I wish more people considered this very important aspect of the decision.

This is in the pic above but bears repeating:
Over the last two regular seasons, Kochetkov has by far the worst save % (75.6%) in the league in the final 2:00 of the 1st period and Freddie Andersen is tied for 2nd-worst (80.0%).

#Canes allowed 14 goals (20.9% shooting) in the final 2:00 of 1st periods, both were the worst in the league. Thing is, they allowed an NHL-worst 17 such goals *LAST* season as well.

127 different players have scored 20+ career goals for the #Canes/Whalers.
Ever wondered who has the highest % of GWG (game-winning goals) on that list?
Surely you guessed Jalen Chatfield! (30%; 6-of-20).
