So the country that allegedly invented the sport …
1) doesn’t have a team in the NHL finals, and
2) witnessed their 2026 Olympics men’s and women’s teams soundly beaten by Team USA

Detroit is Hockeytown @ApexLion ...you here for the Grand Prix?
For hockey tradition, Raleigh laughs at Detroit and Montreal.
Virginia ABC stores had a collab with Buffalo Trace and I picked up a bottle yesterday and made a Manhattan with it. Very good! Didn’t watch any hockey though. Excited to go to MD today to see the Hot Club of Baltimore play Django Reinhardt. Will be wine there for sure!
I saw a t-shirt earlier this year that said:

Good to see them in the Finals with a really good shot to win the Stanley Cup.
Are you getting to any games? What do ticket prices look like for the Finals?
Not big a big hockey fan but since I'll be moving to about 15 min from the Lenovo Center next weekend I'll be come one! Daughter lives in Raleigh and the Canes are all the rage now.
Saw Brindy raise the Cup in person in 06. Hoping they can do it again. Vegas will be tough.
Tix went on sale today. When I got through the queue for game 5 all that was left was resales (already) and least expensive was $1500 a tix.

You can get it in America. Wisconsin has cheese and Idaho has potatoes.
I’m not. Back in 2006, I had season tickets and went to every playoff game. The tailgating was epic. Sort of like PSU gating 3 times a week.
Uh, look at how the Canes were built. Mostly people from…Detroit. We now call our hometown Hockeytown due to the success over the last 20 years. It’s sort of a tip of the hat to the original.
Canada should do something else.
