Hey @mikemaniscalco@TrippTracy question: #CanesCast@Canes : Do our guys, when they are reviewing video, watch the talking #hockey heads about how they are doing? Because a lot seemed one sided twd MTL until these last couple games. Seems like it would mess with my head.

205 years ago today, three brave Americans defeated El Guapo at the Battle of Santa Poco to give Mexico its independence.
Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate.
To My Dearest Mother,
I write to you from our encampment just beyond Raleigh, where the Carolina Regiment gathers its strength after delivering two decisive defeats upon the Philadelphia contingent. The enemy, shaken and disorganized, has abandoned their ground and now flees northward toward their own city. We shall not grant them comfort there—we prepare even now to march and finish what has been so honorably begun.
Take solace, dear Mother, in knowing that your son commands men of the highest caliber. Their discipline, courage, and unity have stirred pride in every citizen who bears witness. The people of Carolina have cheered our name in the streets, and rightly so—these Soldiers fight not only with skill, but with purpose.
Last evening’s battle was a spectacle of Carolina strength. 1LT Seth Jarvis has awoken and he provided our forward assault with precision and relentless energy, cutting through the enemy’s lines as though they were scarcely there. SGM Taylor Hall stood as a pillar of leadership, rallying the men and ensuring no moment of weakness found its way into our ranks while delivering the final blow upon the enemy.
Behind them, the ever-steady SFC Frederik Andersen guarded our defenses with unwavering resolve—turning away every desperate volley the enemy could muster. And I must commend CPL Nikolaj Ehlers, whose speed and cunning on the flanks left the Philadelphia soldiers chasing shadows and regret.
As for the enemy… I hesitate to dignify them with too much attention. Yet I must share this: their court jester, a most ridiculous creature known as Gritty, was seen prancing about before the battle, boasting loudly of their supposed victory to come. One can only imagine his embarrassment now, as he scurries northward with the rest—his antics having inspired little more than laughter from our ranks.
Be assured, Mother, that our cause is just and our spirits are high. The men are rested, their resolve sharpened, and their sights fixed firmly upon Philadelphia. We march not merely to pursue, but to conclude this campaign with authority, as we continue our righteous pursuit of Lord Stanley’s prize.
Pray for our continued strength, as we carry the honor of Carolina forward.
Your devoted son,
- Jordan

To the Officers and Enlisted Men of the Carolina Regiment,
By Order of General Jordan Staal, Commanding
A WARNING ORDER is hereby issued.
Intelligence gathered by our scouts and informants confirms that the Philadelphia Regiment—those unruly rabble known in common tongue as the Philadelphia Flyers—are on the march. They come not with honor, nor discipline, but with the reckless fury of a mob, intent on halting our righteous advance toward Lord Stanley’s sacred prize.
Make no mistake: this enemy thrives in chaos. They clutch, they grab, they strike after the whistle like gutter-born street brawlers masquerading as soldiers. Their ranks are filled not with tacticians, but with orange-clad agitators whose only strategy is disruption and disgrace.
But they have chosen the wrong Regiment.
You, men of Carolina, have proven your mettle in the crucible of battle. You have routed the northern foes, silenced doubters, and carried the standard of Raleigh with honor and steel. Now, a new test approaches—not of skill alone, but of discipline. The Philadelphia scum will attempt to drag you into the mud with them. You will not oblige.
Prepare yourselves accordingly:
Sharpen your blades and steady your hands.
Maintain formation—do not be baited into their foolishness.
Strike with precision, not rage.
Let their chaos be their undoing.
They seek to deny us our destiny. They believe themselves gatekeepers to glory.
We shall show them they are nothing more than a speed bump on our march.
Stand ready. Stay disciplined. And when they arrive, we will meet them not as equals—but as a force of inevitability.
For Raleigh. For the Regiment. For Lord Stanley.
Jordan L Staal
GEN, CAR
