Five home dates in nine October nights at Centre Bell
FINALLY lads, October can't come soon enough 🔥 Carolina first up at the Bell, that's a proper statement game right there. Then Nashville, Detroit, Buffalo, and that Washington trip... whoever circles Buffalo as the big one is sleeping, it's Carolina or nothing imo 💪🙌
Heart with the team, head on pause.
Carolina opener? please, we owe them one at the Bell 😤🔥 circle Buffalo all you want, I'm already camping outside Centre Bell for that one 💪
Statement win for me is Carolina on the 6th, but the value's probably on the puck line there, books always shade the opener at the Bell. Last year I dropped C$150 chasing the juice on a home opener, lesson learned. Give me Buffalo on the 13th at a sane price instead, that's where my money actually lands 💸
Bankroll discipline wins.
My body is a doormat outside Centre Bell already and it's only March 🤣 VeteranLegend said he's camping for Buffalo, mate I'll fight you for that spot, loser has to explain to my boss why I booked five "dentist appointments" in nine days 😂 Carolina opener is going to be a war, my sofa's already got a permanent butt-shaped dent reserved 🍿
Washington away is my statement game, tbh 😤 106 points and 283 goals last year. Beat THAT crowd on the road and we're for real 🔥 ah well, nowt to do but wait
One love, one side ❤️
Quick question for StandsGuyFaithful, why does beating Washington away make us "for real" when we've only got 48 wins to show for 82 games? 😅 I'd say the statement one is Carolina on the 6th, opening night at the Bell against a big club just feels like the real measuring stick. Go easy on me if I'm wrong, still learning the ropes here 🙏
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
Washington away makes no sense as the measuring stick, one road night proves nowt 😤 Carolina on the 6th, loud Bell, big club. THAT'S where you learn what the squad really is 💪🔥
Don't laugh if this is daft, but one game in October decides "for real"? Maybe I'm wrong, still learning this 😅 thought the season tells you more than one night 🙏
Learn something new every day.
Dave's got a point tbh, one night never tells the whole story 😅 but Carolina on the 6th is where I'd put my money anyway - opening night, building buzzing, you want to see if the lads handle that weight right away. Washington away says more in my book because everyone's amped at home... going into that barn quiet and taking it to them is the real test 🔥
You don't abandon your own.
Confused why everyone picked Carolina so fast 😅 don't they say the road game tells you more about a team? Like Dave said, one October night proves nothing anyway, so why not pick Buffalo on the 13th if we want a feel-good win at the Bell? Sorry, still learning here 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
Carolina on the 6th for me, no debate 😤 you just know the Bell's gonna be shaking opening night, and anyone who's played knows nerves hit hardest in game one. If our lot handle that pressure against a big club, everything after feels easy. Buffalo feels like a feel-good night, tbh, not a test 🔥💪
One love, one side ❤️
Buffalo a "feel-good" night? Sorry but the Sabres finished ahead of nobody easy either 😅 I'm with JohnFan, that Washington trip on the 14th scares me way more 🙏
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
Lee's right that Buffalo's no gimme, but nah, Carolina on the 6th is the statement 🔥 anyone who can't feel Centre Bell opening night hasn't been there 💪🙌
You don't abandon your own.
back in the day I'd circle the opener same as you kids, and half the time the "statement" game turned out to be the dud while the nobody-gives-it-a-glance Tuesday night became the classic 😄 seen it all before, October tables lie worse than a bass boat salesman. ask Washington what they were supposed to be last spring, too. circle Carolina if you like, but I'll just watch all five and let the team surprise me again 😉
Seen it all, lads.
