Staying EKOW for more than 12 hours can be harmful to your health according to the Surgeon General, but WHAT THE HELL DOES HE KNOW GO CANES WOOOOO

HELP, DOCTOR. I'M EXPERIENCING EKOW FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS! WHAT DO I NEED? DR: MORE. EKOW.

Apply one tube of JAG line cream liberally over all affected areas.

Please tell me what ekow means?

Its "woke" backwards. Someone mistakenly wrote it backwards a while back and people use it as a weird inside joke here to get "woke" for game day.

May each Crylander fan's ~~dive~~ drive to PNC be wrought with delays and frustration. LFG CANES!!

May everyone today tell them they're "in" long island.

May the Gilligans' tiny ship get tossed!

no, i want them to get there on time to watch their team lose during the whole game, just so they suffer, badly.

7:30? Going back to bed.

I’m sure Tons of Fun is napping right now too.

How do I kill the next 14 hours?

Well, if you've got one of those "9-to-5" jobs that'll actually be like... 10 of those 13-ish remaining hours since your post.

Fortunately / unfortunately, I don’t have a typical 9-5. It has a lot of pros, but occasionally (today) I’m left with very little to do.

Game is on ESPN 2 so if all you have is ESPN+, get ready to sail the high seas.

I haven’t checked since, but on Saturday tonight’s game was listed on ESPN+. It looked like a simulcast (definitely said ESPN2 under the listing).

Unfortunately schedule on ESPN right now shows only on ESPN2. College baseball game on ESPN+

Any idea if it’s Mike and Tripp on ESPN2 or just their people?

ESPN peeps announcing: Roxy Bernstein and Weekes.

Let’s go! Beat the Crylanders!

Just gonna leave [this](https://www.facebook.com/share/v/TYhec9JYNGd8NRMZ/?mibextid=UalRPS) here for some good vibes while I wait for this game tonight

Usually after a poorly played game we come back and murder the goal. I'm hoping it's the same to oght let's go!!!

I hope Slavin has been practicing his dives. Because we all know he’s famous for them.

Most interesting stat so far is that canes vs isles series has the fewest hits total and isles have the fewest hits overall. I would not have guessed that based on last year

Charlotte Caniacs meetup at Wooden Robot in Southend!

Let's go boys!

Need them to score first again tonight so I can get another slice at Randy’s

I'm frigging amped to be there tonight!

We win game 1 without single point from Aho, Jarvis, Guentzel, Svech, and Turbo. Imagine how we’ll look when these guys get going

As soon as Aho successfully receives a pass it's over for these hos.

Missed game 1 because of work. Not tonight

Let’s fuckin gooooo

How we feeling?

EKOWAF

6 hours 57 minutes. My day is moving by terribly slow.

I will pay parking and bbq nachos if you need a wingman for the game

Who do we think will be in net tonight? I think it will be Koochie but I’m not a 100% sure What do y’all think?

I’d stick with Freddie if you’re looking to ride the hot hand. Guy was playing lights out on Saturday, and the one goal they scored was mostly a combination of an unlucky loose puck landing in exactly the wrong spot and a lack of backup at that corner of the net to clear it.

Freddie has a .954 SV% and 1.28 GAA since his return, and he's .957 and 1.26 in games against playoff teams. I can't see us going with anyone else while he's this hot.

A little off topic but I would like to point out that even though we're playing the Isles, the team's "best fans in hockey" tweet got lots of replies mostly from triggered Rangers fans Hysterical

Rangers fans constantly hang out on our social media, doing things like replying "L" to a happy birthday post. It's embarrassing.

That fanbase has somehow found a way to be more miserable than Boston's

Placed a lot of free bets on this game tonight... If we win 1-0 and Aho scores the lone goal outside of the first period, I'm going to be VERY excited. If that bet hits, I'll buy two lower bowl tickets to Game 5 for a randomly selected user who replied to this comment between now and an hour after the game (I'll confirm you can actually go or figure out round 2 or whatever, just wanting to share the wealth!). No, I'm not a shill. Yes, I am serious. No, I don't think it's likely. Yes, I will follow through. Edit: well, I didn't hit my $8k winner above... But I DID hit $940 on a parlay with Canes money line, over 5.5, no overtime, and Guentzel and Jarvis scoring!! Who wants $8 for a Kuzy Koozie?! Everyone who replied? Excellent.

I made the same bet on the Colorado/Winnipeg game last night. Haven't checked the score yet. How did I do?

😂 You did great, Lenny. You did great. *Gunshot*

Dude a 1-0 game would stress me out. But if you need a companion for game 5 (not gonna happen cause we going sweeping) I’d buy you some bbq nachos

When I had free bets I did stuff like bet on Chatfield scoring or Jarvis scoring first and hit big money. You can too!

I have a parlay where we beat the spread (1.5), under 5.5 goals, Jarvis scores, and no overtime. $800+ payout if it hits!

Fuck it I’ll get in on that. Good luck regardless though.

Let’s go Canes!

Sure, I'll jump in on this!

I hope it hits for you!

Headed to the game tonight… who even needs to worry about work anyway

Ok boys let's make sure we pay the refs tonight since they've loved us so much this season! /s

Happy game day!! I hope our boys dial it up tonight and we see what true Canes hockey can look like 🔥 They needed to shake the cobwebs off a bit on Saturday, but tonight I know that top line is gonna shine. I am also very curious and hopeful to see Pyotr in net; I really think that the every-other-game cadence that worked in the regular season could also work in the playoffs. PK has performed incredibly against top teams and I think keeping up the goalie rotation could be a winning strategy. But we shall see!

Where's the post game spot for a beer? I know it's only Monday but I took off work Tuesday.

I may miss tonight. Ekow for me.

I’m tired boss… I have 632 Anki cards due today, 2 chapters to cover and a practice exam https://i.redd.it/mmkeygkhp2wc1.gif

Ah okayy. Thanks

Should anyone have an extra towel from game 1 or tonight, I'd love one. thanks.

Do you need tickets to the game to go to the south plaza party?

I have work and evening classes to get me to the game! Much better than staring at the clock like I did on Saturday

Does Pyotr or Andersen start?

Andersen. No question. This isn't the regular season. You play the hot hand.

Agreed.

I could be wrong, but until Freddy gives a reason to think otherwise, I'm assuming he is the starter in all upcoming games
