Spirit of St. Louis

Too cerebral? This sign references Elias Lindholm ("Lindy") and the plane (the Spirit of St. Louis) that Charles Lindbergh used to make the first transatlantic flight. Sadly, this sign did not help Lindy score nor the Canes win in their game against the St. Louis Blues on Friday, January 30, 2015.

Bless Their Hearts

The classic passive-agressive Southern saying is perfect when the other team scores, when you're surrounded by fans of the opposing team, or even when the home team fans quaintly attempt air guitar while hamming it up for the camera.

Sheet Lightning

Canes vs. Tampa Bay Lightning, Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Camera guy dissed me, but a random new Canes fan came over to have his picture taken with me.

Elbow Gleas

Here is another sign I made during the first intermission after an idea hit me during the game. This was during the Canes vs. Vancouver Canucks game on Friday, January 16, 2015. It refers to Canes defenseman Tim Gleason. I always have a hard time knowing whether to add punctuation when it gets in the way of the pun.

B.C.

After 15 years of fandom, this was the first sign I made related to the Vancouver Canucks, who are, of course, located in British Columbia (B.C.). The January 16, 2015 game was not my first time seeing Vancouver, I don't think, but I guess in the past I must have made some other sign related to a player or a holiday or something.

The New Blechh

The idea for this sign struck me just outside the arena, as I noticed the sea of orange jerseys of the invading Philadelphia Flyers fans. So glad we managed to eke out a win. I suppose this sign could also be used at New York Islanders games.

Flyers, Dwyers

Patrick Dwyer didn't score tonight during the Canes vs. Philadelphia Flyers game, but he got a couple of good breakaway chances.
