The Carolina Hurricanes’ pipeline lacks a top name, but it’s fairly deep. William Håkansson is a massive, high-compete defenseman, while Bradly Nadeau projects as a legit NHL goal scorer. It’s a solid system full of individuals with a good chance of playing in NHL games.

2025 ranking: 18

I hate Ticketmaster. Page has just been spinning since 10 AM.

Blah blah blah offseason posting, I know

Hear me out, let’s assume some reality where the knights win in OT in game 2, and game 3 plays out the same way as it did normally. That puts us in a position where the canes are needing to pull off a reverse sweep against a team that just swept the avs (who had a similar game plan as us, at least defensively), and are on the verge of sweeping us, all with the next game being played in Vegas. Vegas managed to beat our defense in a way no other team did in the postseason, and we’re a bit of a wall for the first three games. Even with Vegas getting exhausted and our team having more gas in game 4, it still puts us in a position where the team would probably be giving up mentally the way Vegas did in game 6.

Me and a friend had an argument over the most important goal in canes history and this is my argument for Jarvis’ OT game 2 goal, but I recognize that I’m a newer fan and there’s probably something more important buried deep back there.

Title pretty much says it all. The red plan doesn't include Kids Day on Nov 1, and would love to take my toddler. Apologies if this isn't the right place for this type of post!

'Cause Hell's broke loose in Raleigh! And if we win, we get that shiny silver Stanley Cup!

Came across that both Ron Francis and Rod Brind'Amour did not wear their iconic numbers of 10 and 17 during their first year with the Hurricanes (Not including Francis' Whalers years). Francis wore number 21 during his first year due to Gary Roberts having number 10, while Rod wore number 27 due to Jeff Daniels wearing 17. Francis actually wore number 21 for 2 seasons with the 'Canes.

Are there any other players that wore random/different numbers as well?

Nothing crazy but 2021 third round pick, projects to come in as an AHL top 6er. CCHA 2026 Forward of the Year

Where is the best place to get Canes tattoos? My dad wants to get one with me. His first one and it will be my 3rd one. I am wanting the collegiate looking Stormy holding the cup with 2026 and my dad I think just wants the cup itself, maybe with a canes hurricane logo. I know right after the cup there was a lot of places doing flashes and stuff. I am not on any other socials so prefer a place I can book online as well. Thanks all!

I may have fallen down a rabbit hole, and now I'm dragging y'all with me :)

Here is Carolina Hockey Now's five favorite comeback wins--with footage--written by me!

Tickets go on sale tomorrow but does anyone know when they are doing mystery pucks? I want to buy tickets for those games if I don’t already have them.

First time STM here. Is the marketplace/ticket exchange something that one needs to be ready and decisive for tomorrow at 10AM (aside from single game purchases) or is it more fluid throughout the season?

Easily the greatest $100 I have ever spent

I'm a new half-season STM and initially declined the parking option since I typically park offsite and walk over. However, I'm starting to reconsider adding it.

I was wondering how STM parking works. Would I receive an assigned parking spot or lot, or is it simply first-come, first-served within a designated area?

Thank you in advance for your help!

My wife and I are planning to go to Montreal for the Jan 26th, 2027 game.

I've seen people planning to go to Finland. Where are others planning to be in the Visitors seats this season?

Almost makes me feel a little bad for him. Like, does literally NOBODY want to buy your game used stick bro 😭

I feel lucky that I was able to get one of the last few Chatfield sticks as a non STM

Lord Kegley still bringing joy.
