Your faithful puck chronicler, who first began going to NHL rinks some 60 years ago, finds the whole thing corny, decidedly contrived, but overall a really good chuckle. For better or worse (wait for it), the Hurricanes have embraced the “leave ’em laughin’ ” ethos of the hockey entertainment biz.
Good for them. It works. People in the stands are enjoying it, along with untold masses who witness the antics on broadcast news and myriad social medium platforms. If you are expecting a curmudgeonly “get off my lawn!” condemnation here from a graying print scribe, sorry, you’re in the wrong front yard. A lot of my parts are, shall we say, challenged these days, but my funny bone is firmly planted in the comedy shop.
