Hockey is the greatest sport on earth

[Peter Leithart @PLeithart]

On the day of atonement, Israelites "afflict their souls" and "do no work." Not separate items, but mutually explanatory: Refraining from work afflicts the soul.

Converse: Work is soul-refreshing, not merely an instrument to make a living but a form of life, an expression of liveliness.

Thus: Lack of work shrivels the soul.

We are saddened to inform friends that our dear brother, Voddie Baucham, Jr., has left the land of the dying and entered the land of the living. Earlier today, after suffering an emergency medical incident, he entered into his rest and the immediate presence of the Savior whom he loved, trusted, and served since he was converted as a college student. Please pray for Bridget, their children, and grandchildren.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. – Psalm 116:15

@AGoldFan Thoughts on going after Necas?

With the other pieces we’ve added, would anyone be mad about trying to bring him back if we can’t get Ehlers?

@ZachCaniac Because that’s the one line that can possess the puck. He brings a scoring threat.

Moving Carrier brings physicality to a different line.

@AndyHilm @hockeystatcards Exactly.

Somehow, our PK is top in the league and he starts on that unit. NJD go 0-5 on their PP. PK is 100% responsibility and effort. Yet, HE is the problem with the entire team.

[mikepassaro @mikepassaro]

@sethbishop @AGoldFan You’re killing me, Smalls!

This entire conversation drives me nuts.

Best PK in the league. Who starts on that unit? Burns. Why? He’s actually good. We don’t get to say he’s awful with the best PK in the NHL.

But you like the narrative, so…

[mikepassaro @mikepassaro]

@AGoldFan Our PP is AWESOME. 😉

Who cares about the stats?

PPGs when we need them is what matters, right?

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

It's a great time for hockey in the Triangle!

We're excited to celebrate the grand opening of two new street hockey rinks at Apex Community Park this Saturday, featuring food trucks, #Canes players, and more.

@AGoldFan And can he do it again?

[mikepassaro @mikepassaro]

Maybe everyone can just find their Neverland happy thought again?

[mikepassaro @mikepassaro]

@AGoldFan I’d love to hear more on why Canes fans are losing their minds on Burns, but are silent on Walker -4, Ghost is -7, Svech is -7, Roslovic is -10.

Slavin is “great” (and he is). He has 21 pts.
Burns is “awful, needs to retire, etc.” He also has 21 pts.

[mikepassaro @mikepassaro]

Maybe Rantanen is great, but was also great playing with Mackinnon. Maybe there’s still only one Crosby, McDavid, etc.
