if you moved WITHIN the county of voter registration before Oct 5, 2026 and didn’t update your voter info, you can EASILY do that when you CHECK-IN to EARLY VOTE starting Oct 15. If you do that on ELECTION DAY Nov 3 it will require a time-consuming provisional ballot #ncpol

Final cover now revealed
I hope you'll all consider picking up a copy of Perfect Storm: The Hurricanes Commemorative Championship Book I have been working on with Triumph Books. They will be available in the coming days in stores, and you can order here:

Listen, @TDCanes, we both know you need to make up the lost revenue from all these short series… make a call to NC State, open Carter Finely, charge idk 10 or 15 bucks a ticket.
It would be great optics for the team and fanbase, plus you get the extra scratch
Hearing that the queue for @Canes Stanley Cup Final tickets is enough to fill Lenovo Center twice. And that's if everyone bought just one ticket.
For the third time in franchise history the Carolina Hurricanes are headed to the Stanley Cup Finals!!!!
Here’s the front page of the @nandosports from 2002 and 2006.

Less than a decade ago, the Carolina Hurricanes were last in the league in attendance, and the Triangle’s NHL future was uncertain. Today they’re a model Sun Belt operation.

K'Andre Miller laughing through an attack by Travis Konecny pretty much sums up this series. @Canes @NHLFlyers

Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. 2nd longest sellout streak in the NHL. For the love of God show some respect. #RaleighOnDeck
People think this is Rod being a “crybaby”, I see him fighting for his players and so do they. - Sorry your coach doesn't actually care 💁🏼♂️

Martinook was the first player acquired by the Hurricanes after Dundon bought the team and Waddell was named GM. Felt like a nothing move at the time but his impact on the culture shift here over the past eight years is remarkable.

ESPN killing the crowd mic after goals so we can hear the announcers better is literally the last thing any hockey fan wants…

The Hornets are one win away from creating a bit of NC sports history.
A win in the next play-in game would mean the Panthers, Hornets and Hurricanes each made the playoffs in the same season.
That has never happened before. NC pro sports are so back.

Here's something you don't see much in NC: The shallow pond at the end of my street is now an ice hockey rink
Doug Warf is a giant in Raleigh biz circles. It's part of what made him a great fit last year. He’ll land on his feet and continue to be a great guy.
The question forming is how the culture within the Canes org seems to have shifted so quickly.

It’s almost like there’s a reason you let the process play out instead of going off the deep end when speculative reports come out.
Thank God nobody from this totally sane fanbase doxxed the team’s GM over this!
What we could have had if Triangle leaders had more vision in the late ‘80s.
Proposed by James Goodmon, president of Capital Broadcasting, in 1988 it would of made Triangle Sports truly regional. His pitch was that this complex would be for sports, what RTP is for research.
There's so much packed into this, it’s insane!
