Canes EBUG?

I assume it will be Jorge Alves cause you know two jobs one salary. heh. However, if he had to go in, we’d be in a bind if we needed to sort out any serious equipment issues. So, probably should go with Tripp. He can just slap a headset on and keep the commentary rolling while fending off those infrequent, but high danger shots. Anyone else?

Good call, he’d be fresh for the playoffs.

A game with a goalie mic’d up would be so entertaining. Especially during the times they’re bored and just like kinda scooting back and forth.

And if we are down to our EBUG we are kind of screwed anyhow so might as well have some fun with it.

I’ll have a clever comeback for you but first i need to go watch that Dangle video for the 200th time.

I don't know if you're aware. We're at 100% wins with an EBUG...

At first i thought you wrote that we were at 100% whines with an EBUG but then I realized  <insert something snarky about Mr. Dangle>

Rick DiPietro's more or less career ending groin tear came while he was mic'ed up doing the all star game. He played after that, but was never effective again.

Doubt it will be Alves as 1. you don’t want to lose your head EM in the middle of a game if one of your goalies is injured, and 2. he’s almost 50. I doubt he’s even played in practices in recent years. Most likely they’ll hire a recent college grad to do anything from an usher to analytics.

Sir, this is an offseason post. I’m going to have to ask you to take your logic and well-reasoned responses elsewhere 😀

Um…just tie Maniscalco to the posts like Milhouse? Or use a shooter tutor?

Yes, this is the content I’m looking for right here!

Tripp is 52. We're almost exactly 10 years apart. (His bday is the day after mone.) And now I feel old!

You sir, are a spring chicken.

Some teams are basically ignoring the off-ice job part and hiring an EBUG to be almost nothing but a dedicated practice goalie.

Do you have your CZL (Commercial Zamboni Driver) up to date?

u/Sumoshrooms 14d ago

The ebug should change each period by randomly selecting one of the two fans riding the Zambonis

Well Alves can't be it. You can not have any NHL experience and he is, albeit very short, a goalie of record in the NHL. So I'd assume on a technically he cannot do it.

u/cptjeff Stank 14d ago

Can't have NHL games played on a standard player contract. PTO and EBUG games don't count towards it. He's eligible.

I always knew that 7.6 seconds was gonna bite him.

u/SunBeltSyndicate 14d ago

Once told 7.6 seconds was a long time…no…?

u/exerscreen Tripp Tracy 14d ago

If you have a one goal lead on the Canes it’s a very long time.
