Canes w/ yet again just one nationally televised game. Same as usual, but the best way to get this team national attention is of course to make the playoffs.

I'm boycotting the NBC game.
I wanted to see Detroit an 8th time.

I'm kind of hoping for FOX to get the rights when the NBC contract expires. I'm not always the biggest fan of their sports programming but they have a history with the league, have a better cable network than NBC (FS1), and have more regional networks in NHL markets. Plus I'd like to see the traditionalists heads explode when the glow puck comes back just like they did back in the 90's

Fox SSE just actually does better presentation than NBC. Better camera work and replays, and I like our homer play-by-play and color team better than the generic teams NBC uses.

"glow puck" LOL

It’s going to be strange for me this year. I think this is the year I really throw in with the Canes. The Blues will always be my #1, but with them temporarily moving to the West, just too many 9pm and 10pm ET starts. Plus, with the Canes now in the same division as the Blackhawks, Predators, and Stars, it feels more natural to root against those teams! I don’t think I’m going to renew NHL.TV for this year. I’ll watch the Canes games and the Blues when they’re on national broadcasts.

Lol. Detroit has 7.

Lol, sounds about right. Blues have 3, and the first one despite being two top contending teams in the Mountain and Central time zone (COL vs STL)...is at 9:30pm CT.

Clearly the Blues market gets the same level of respect as the Canes market. Blues reward for winning the Cup 2019 and being a top team in 2020...is moving to the West away from all of their natural rivals and having late games the fans can’t watch.

Oh well, I’ll embrace it for 2021. Here’s to the Canes going undefeated vs the Blackhawks, Predators, Stars, and Red Wings.

Before last season, Rod Brind'Amour said, "I don't think we'll be sneaking up on people."
Hmmm... Apparently the Canes are still in Stealth Mode.

Couple of promotions and a new addition to the front office. I'm glad to see the ownership ponying up the cash to keep Yorke and Tulsky.


As for the helmet ads, I mean I don't particulary like it but at least it isn't the jersey, which I know is eventually coming but not yet.
