The moment the Great Eight tied the Great One: 8️⃣9️⃣4️⃣

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

Mitch Marner has scored 90+ points 4 times in his career and has 821 points in 738 games. Nikolaj Ehlers never scored 70 points in a season until this year and only has 591 points in 756 career games.

Marner is the far better player, that's why they talk about him more.

Incredible stuff happening on this app

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@Blitzer_8 @CanYouHockey @PackTerrorist I've been there a few times and don't recall them ever doing it until recently, even at the Stadium Series I don't really remember it. At least we can both agree the Panthers stole it from both of us because they weren't wearing red up until 2016

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

So the Hurricanes and the Panthers have both stolen the "Red" chant during the national anthem from the Washington Capitals.

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@HughJazzole I am aware that they share the arena, but I have no recollection of them ever doing it when I attended Hurricanes games in the past.

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@boyds_blue The O is still for the Orioles, that's because there's still a lot of people from Baltimore who are Caps and O's fans. I don't do the O chant because it's not related to the Caps

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@theos45 I mean I'm all in for a good ragebait but this isn't that, it's just a fact these teams copied us. And I've been to games at both venues, they were not doing this before.

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@FrozenBuffalo_ My point is that their franchise is just unoriginal that's all. They just steal ideas from everyone else instead of coming up with things on their own. We did the chant and the horn long before they did, and the "Storm Surge" is essentially just the "Skol" chant from the Vikings

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@below_avgcaps Yes, a few. Did a goalie camp with the Panthers' goalie coach, Robb Tallas, and we had Jason Demers and Brandon Duhaime come a couple times, and Ekblad came one of the summers as well. Jaycob Megna is another name you may remember and Tyler Madden was an AHL guy as well.

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

Dating as a mid dude and trying to find a full-time job with benefits is basically just a humiliation ritual at this point.

I can literally stop shots from NHL players but these are the most difficult things I've ever had to do.

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

And maybe it's bcuz I was too young at the time to remember Oates, but Laviolette is my most hated coach since I started watching the Caps. Basically ruined Vrana's career, pissed off Kuzy enough for him to fall off a cliff, and scratched Dylan Strome because of faceoffs and PK

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

I'm sure the Toronto media will love dealing with Peter Laviolette when his only response to things will be "we're working on some things in the room."

[Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger]

The Toronto Maple Leafs coaching search is getting more interesting. Sources say Patrick Roy and Peter Laviolette are a part of this weeks stage of the interview process.

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@Jared_Shafit @chrisheel778 Maybe my memory serves me wrong but I've been to a couple games down in Raleigh and I never heard it until last night. NC State sure, but I have never heard it associated with the Hurricanes.

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@chrisheel778 Like I said, I've been to Hurricanes games and watched them do the anthem on TV and I've never heard them do it before until tonight. Didn't know about NC State though

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@chrisheel778 I've never heard the Hurricanes do it before though and I've been to games down there on a couple different occasions.

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@CanYouHockey @PackTerrorist And the Caps have done it longer than that

[travis tuthill @capstrav1s]

imagine losing your first stanley cup final home game in 20 years on june 2nd against the vegas golden knights? lol couldn’t be my franchise

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

@PackTerrorist If you're talking about the Hurricanes, I do not recall them ever doing that chant before, and I've been to games in Carolina in the past

[Ben Acker @b_acker70]

I didn't think the series would suck, I just hate both teams

[Nick Alberga @thegoldenmuzzy]

Tough night for the “this series is gonna suck” crowd

[Tony X @soIoucity]

"no bill.... young prospects as in the players on the ice"
