OPENING NIGHT!!!!

Opening night is finally here!
After a summer of relative silence, there are no less than TWENTY-THREE!!!!! hockey articles in today's News and Observer. Good job, boys. I haven't had time to read them all, but there's some doozies in there.

After some craziness, some back-and-forth, it looks like fans in North Carolina will be able to catch this game on Teevee. The Canes network wasn't covering it, and Center Ice usually blacks out the local feed for home games, but fans will be able to get the froggy RDS feed. Most people down here don't speak French fluently, so they'll be doing the old college basketball trick of watching the television while listening to the local radio feed. Only problem is, in these modern times, the radio feed runs on a delay of about one second while the teevee feed typically runs on a seven second delay. It's a bit dizzying to hear it before you see it.

OPENING NIGHT IS HERE!!!!!!!!

Puck drop at 7:00. See you there.
