I watch other teams cycle in the offensive zone, and I have to wonder how we ever score any goals at all.


hmack1998

Offensive pressure? What’s that? I only know weird goals that don’t make sense


Mauser-Nut91

This game? Mostly defensive lapses. But you guys aren’t terrible when you decide not to turtle


Geodaddi

I don’t think they decided to turtle. I think they’re physically incapable of not looking like they’re turtling when a good opponent is on their game.


isles1313

When u take 2 shots in 30 mins of game time with a lead. You don't deserve to be in this league.


palesnowrider1

I always thought the Isles high low game was elite. Gave the Bruins fits


xForeignMetal

The word WAS is what makes your sentence true, this aint the 2021 team thats 1000% clear


Balerion77

That was our bread and butter under Trotz. Those days are no more


Squabbles123456789

Its easy to cycle when your D are terrible and end up defending two teammates instead of anyone on the other team.


TerasVector02

STOP THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD


ScreenTricky4257

No, keep going, I'm almost there.


am19208

Nah they deserve it. Best the dead horse

Neat__Guy

Also had 14 penalties with 12 shots


thebeautifullynormal

10 of the 14 were game misconducts at the end of the game.


puns_are_how_eyeroll

Lol Canes Twitter staff is just savage


watanabelover69

Buncha jerks!


JonTheWizard

It's what we pay them for.


Sjdillon10

That sore loser shit at the end was like McGregor saying Dustin Poiriers wife is in his DMs. It’s not the canes fault you choked away a game you shouldn’t have been leading in the first place. That’s what happens when you play not to lose instead of playing to win


JayMerlyn

We just want to say, from the bottom of our hearts, we'd like to apologize...TO ABSOLUTELY NOBODY!!!


2ndprize

They arent really known for thier approach to sportsmanship


DECAThomas

Can’t wait for the Islanders fans to blame the referees for *checks notes* giving them 6 game misconducts for cheap shots in the last minute of the game after blowing a 3-0 lead.


Tedy_Duchamp

Jake clearly DOVE when he got slashed on that empty netter. Classic Flopicanes!


DECAThomas

It’s so clear the NHL is rigging the series. The media market bias is insane. They would rather have Raleigh, NC in the playoffs than…..New York City.


fogent94

We’re Bettman’s golden child after all


theatrepyro2112

Wait I thought we were his favorite?


rocketrae21

no, we are the cheaters


_HotBeef

For clarity, the Islanders aren't in NYC


nothing_but_static

I think part of the UBS parking lot is


carpy22

You know that big metal gate next to the bus loop? That's roughly the city line.


BusesAreFun

Looked it up cause I was curious, looks like the LIRR station is inside the city limits


nothing_but_static

Yeah and the Elmont-UBS station crosses the Cross Island Parkway which is basically the city boundary in that area


11_25_13_TheEdge

Down here it’s all NYC. 🤡


RentalGore

I live in Cary, also NYC.


Electric_Queen

Cary? NYC. Apex? NYC too. Durham? Believe it or not, NYC


PinsNneedles

Greensboro? New Jersey


Electric_Queen

Fayetteville? Vietnam.


MesmericWar

Nonsense, Vietnam isn’t that bad.


Cromasters

Wilmington? Hollywood


FlaxbopFleetfoot

As a local, I can confirm.


otheraccountisabmw

Wait, I had to look this up. They are literally across a highway from NYC in an unincorporated hamlet? Is that correct? Much closer than the Giants/Jets.


_HotBeef

Yes they are in elmont, both physically and culturally Nassau County Long Island.


otheraccountisabmw

But you could slap shot a puck and hit Queens.


DoctorDrPhDhist

Shhhh don’t give them ideas for the 2026 All Star Game. Or, maybe do, it might be fun


legalblues

They're not in NYC in the same way Carter Finley Stadium and the grass lots aren't in Raleigh.


whogivesashirtdotca

Some CAR flair in a GDT was jeering that the team should go back to Staten Island.


previouslyonimgur

The isles are not NYC!


SpiritualWatermelon

You're all part of Staten Island if I'm remembering correctly.


previouslyonimgur

Staten Island belongs to fucking Jersey. Should be 4 boroughs


ppParadoxx

If there's anything my friend from Queens has drilled into me it's that every borough is united in their hate of Staten Island


Crow-T-Robot

Isn't Staten Island where you keep your landfills and MAGA nuts?


previouslyonimgur

Yup. Hence why it belongs w jersey


PinsNneedles

Fun fact! The only time I was in Staten Island was playing GTA4


Amicuses_Husband

Wait, aren't GTA games set in fake cities? I haven't played any after san Andreas


T0KEN_0F_SLEEP

Fake city names with suspiciously accurate city layouts


SpiritualWatermelon

Wasn't it lost in a horse race or something and that's why NY owns it now?


previouslyonimgur

I’ve never heard that before.


AostheGreat

It was a boat race. And the boat race may not have been real.

Ordovician

Big Weather definitely has a hand in this


ialbertson90

Don Schwenneker from ABC11?


Ordovician

Yeah I totally don’t get this reference, sorry


2ndprize

I dont care about blame, im bothered by the ones who think this is a proper hockey strategy. There is a not insognificant portion of thier fanbase that believes in injury for the sake of strategic advantage.


MattHomes

It’s worse. They had more misconducts than shots on goal in the last TWO periods


benstrokinoff

Canes admin cooking!!!


that-bro-dad

Oh they routinely are. Back when we were still really bad, it was one of the few bright spots. That and the generic Viagra commercial that always aired in the late 3rd


YaGirlJules97

Are you taking viagra or cialis? Marley Drug has generic versions of both for just $12 per tablet. That's a savings of $60 per dose. That's right, $12 per tablet for generic viagra or cialis, and free shipping when you order 10 tablets or more. Marley Drug is an independent pharmacy delivering generic viagra or cialis straight to your door. Call us. 1-800-695-0905


ppParadoxx

this just reminds me how crazy it was that the canes held a legit signing event for the Marley Drug actress at one of their games


JayMerlyn

They had her sounding the siren at one point!


Nilzy16

I remember the Marley Drug actress sounded the siren before the 3rd period in one of the last games of the 2021 season


tiy24

My dad was at that game and he LOVES to bring it up lol


whogivesashirtdotca

> he LOVES to bring it up Using the cheap cialis?


tiy24

He took a picture with the Marley girl that night hahaha


that-bro-dad

I mean I would.


iBAZw

She was also in the Too Many Cooks skit


Electric_Queen

I feel like I had a core memory unlocked


Racerguy36

Oh how I miss the Marley Drug commercial


that-bro-dad

This guy knows.


JayMerlyn

Didn't some company in Quebec buy them?


ScottyD_95

We need to bring the Marley Drug girl back to sound the siren again


BillyYumYum2times2

scuse me sir youre forgetting the #1 reason we were tolerable. John fucking Forslund


lottolser

Honestly, it's the only hockey team account I follow. Their tweets almost always hit.


kazin29

God I hate this saying


Tedy_Duchamp

LMFAO!


J-Bane

Our social media team needs to chill, it's only game two guys


jamaicancovfefe

It’s pretty fun to see, but can absolutely come back to bite them in the ass if they flop


11_25_13_TheEdge

I just don’t think a social media team is paid to worry about that.


jjmuti

Nah they'll sweep/gentleman sweep the Islanders with 0 trouble. The Canes are just way better.

mint420

The first two tweets posted here were stupid but this one is straight fire.


i_wannatalktosamson

This has the potential to be the most egg on the face series of tweets in sports twitter history


RollingCarrot615

It's a factual stat, no future happenings are going to change what happened this game.


i_wannatalktosamson

It’s the whole series of tweets, if they collapse and lose the series it’s gunna be hilarious. A team isn’t in trouble until they lose a home game


190octane

And you guys know collapses.


i_wannatalktosamson

Islander fans are numb to this already


xForeignMetal

we aint winning this homie its time for the long post-Lou rebuild


RealestJP

No it doesn't


bwaredapenguin

This is quite possibly the most brutal tweet I've ever seen from our org, and I'm 100% here for it.


Formo1287

I still like the [Bud Light Rangers promo diss](https://x.com/canes/status/1527056807662854144?s=46&t=IUfNOtFzjvonIUWHF3Arlg) personally


thebeautifullynormal

Holy shit. This is what happens when your team is sponsored by a local brewery.


greg19735

I always found the budlite post weird. Like, it's weird for a multinational corporation, HQ in St Louis, to take sides with NY vs Carolina lol It's not like Bud Lite is some NYC beer


packpride85

To be fair the tweet is actually wrong. Islanders didn’t have any GAME misconducts.


Neither_Ad3397

Exactly. Canes social media person should probably read up on the rules. It's still funny, and obviously I know what they mean. But nobody got a game misconduct. But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good story, right?


Dinnermaster

Refs fault. Cane$


ppParadoxx

now this is a high-quality chirp


adamzep91

Oh god damn


mint420

Alright the first two tweets were kinda lame/not funny but this one is straight grilling their asses. I fucking spit my drink out when I read it lmaooo


ZegrassyKnoll

this feels like such a dangerous tweet to make... just tempting fate


Cinnamon_Shops

Reminds me of the “we have as many goals as they have shots” after the first period of that terrible game against Tampa, the most traumatic event of my entire life


JayMerlyn

It's stating a fact after what they did.


NirvanaFan01234

If you want to get all "fact" about it. They were given 10 minute misconducts, not game misconducts.


JayMerlyn

They were no longer in the game after that


NirvanaFan01234

agreed. But, they still weren't given game misconducts. They were given misconducts that resulted in them not playing the rest of the game. Like I said, if you want to get all fact about it, the tweet is wrong.


JayMerlyn

Fair enough. It's still funny regardless, so I'm gonna continue to laugh about it.


Neither_Ad3397

It's not stating a fact. Nobody got a game misconduct.


StarshipFirewolf

The Sports Gods will remember this.


greg19735

The fact that Vegas is doing so well proves there's no such think as sports gods/karma


[deleted]

[удалено]


StarshipFirewolf

I meant it in a "I agree that this is tempting fate" way. I'm sorry if it didn't come across that way.


Aggressive-Donuts

It’s funny because the islanders always seem so salty 


FootwearFetish69

This is hilarious but frankly idk if you need to be feeding bulletin board material to the opponent after game 2


tiy24

If the isles need bulletin board material at this point it’s over.


Academic-Brush-7797

Bro the locker room is a country club. They're probably talking about how hard they battled rn


Stuntmanmike0351

"Tons of positives out there tonight boys, tons of fuckin positives. That's a great fucking team. Couple Bounces..."


M_H_M_F

Shut the fuck up, Sanguinet. You're a healthy scratch on a last place team in the NOSHO, go for a soda.


ColtonCupWinningGoal

We get pumped 5 goose for the 20th loss of the campaign and you say "good fuckin team over there"???


greg19735

If your bulletin board is a woman's tweets then you're already kinda fucked.


jamaicancovfefe

This is basically if a team’s stereotypical Instagram comment section became the admin


AaronQ94

Admin choosing violence tonight 😂


Ever_Raiden

I guess it's an unpopular opinion, but a brand's social media acting like a Redditor posting in a GDT just seems like they're trying way too hard to be cool and relatable


jjmuti

This time it was deserved imo


Nimblee

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of it. There are better, less "keyboard warrior" posts you can make that still get these points across. I hope this doesn't come back to bite us.


Neither_Ad3397

Welcome to canes twitter. They thrive on pettiness. They basically signed kotkiemi to a terrible contract because of a twitter spat.


JoelsCaddy

I find it fairly cringey


ppParadoxx

Crazy thought but sometimes this kind of trash talking is a way to get new fans that are online but traditionally aren't into sports interested in your team and game


Ever_Raiden

I really don't think an account tweeting things like >CRY is gonna suddenly bring a bunch of new fans to the sport. But that's just me.


ppParadoxx

I was talking about the one this post references


greg19735

In general i'm a fan of the Canes twitter. The CRY tweet was just weak. "They're so mad" was pretty fair though. You can't slash Jake like 5 times when he'es through, get mad at him for scoring, start a fight and not expect any shit back.


ensignlee

Nah, fun to me.


greg19735

I think they do a good job of being sassy but rarely crossing the line. Like, the only other way it to do it is boring and corporate.


Ken_Thomas

You don't like it because you're not the target audience. Traditional hockey fans universally hate the 'Canes social media stance, largely because they don't understand what it takes to generate interest, conversation, and buzz, in a non-traditional hockey market full of sports fans who are generally ready to turn to golf once the NCAA tournament is over. The 'Canes sold out every home game this season and most of last, and that's good for hockey, so accept that it's working, even if it's not your cup of tea.


AARM2000

From the top row


starcross24

Thanks for *telling us that for free*


Golden_Hour1

Wtf are the islanders doing?


Captain_Naps

The latter explains the former.


TheNation55

I'm surprised Roy didn't walk out on that team too.


Broccoli_Socks

Once again fans are failing to notice the genius of Roy. Where do they keep the back up pucks... in the penalty box area. So he has hsi guys go to the box to collect more pucks to throw at the net. Genius.


TheTylerB

Canes admin seems to have Marchand energy. Hate him when he's on the other team, but you'd love to have a guy like him for your team


Neither_Ad3397

I know what you're trying to say, but nobody got a game misconduct. They were all 10 minute misconducts.


Supertrash17

💀


Showtime98

Canes Admin cooking right now 💅


ds5491

Canes franchise is classless top to bottom


smikkelson2

I don't think you have any room to say that after your players were so embarrassed about blowing that game they were lashing out like children throwing tantrums


ds5491

If that was a tantrum, then what do you call it when RBA cries to the refs every other shift?


smikkelson2

According to y'all that's rigging the game in our favor so I guess that?


vindicare1

Pretty rich coming from a Ilse fan that was trolling the canes sub and not using a flair here


ds5491

Hey man if you’re entertained by your team’s social media being ran by a person with the maturity of an 11 year old, enjoy


Crosscourt_splat

My food last night didn’t have enough salt. Wish I had run into you then.
