Raleigh is ready for Vegas tonight
Y'all, I'm fixin' to tell you, the vibe out here in Raleigh today is absolutely electric. I grabbed my coffee over on Glenwood South this morning, and every other person was decked out in Canes gear, talking about how the Carolina Hurricanes are gonna handle the Vegas Golden Knights tonight. There's no anxiety, no checking out – it's pure, unadulterated confidence. Folks are feeling good about that winning streak, and frankly, after the season we've had, why wouldn't they? We're top of the Metro, and the Bunch of Jerks are just rolling.
The big chatter I'm hearing, from the tailgates down by PNC Arena to the offices in Research Triangle Park, is all about the depth this team has. Everyone's pointing to how guys are stepping up, no matter who's in or out of the lineup. It feels like we've got a squad where any line can pop off, and that's got Caniacs feeling like we can go toe-to-toe with anyone, even the defending champs from Vegas. It's not just hope, it's a quiet knowing that this team is built different this year.
* Confidence is sky-high, no jitters in sight. * Talk around town is all about the team's incredible depth. * Everyone believes the Canes are ready to take on the Vegas Golden Knights.
This city lives and breathes college hoops, but I'm telling you, hockey has given us a whole new personality, and right now, that personality is all about bringing the noise.
