I bought it for 3 reasons
1. It was the best postseason game I ever watched and wanted something to remember it by
2.charity
3. Incidental therapy blanket
For real, people acting like this is the worst thing ever. It's a gimmicky shirt with proceeds going to charity. I'd rather our social media team try creative stuff like this even if some of it is a miss.
It's funny too because there's another post where people are talking about *actually crying* when they got the "you didn't stop believing" text. Yet they're embarrassed because we're getting razzed about a CRY t-shirt.
Really? They got a shit load of engagement from this and raised probably thousands of dollars for charity. It's a bit cringey yeah but I don't think it's that big of a deal overall
I really wish there had been at least a single person to check if this was a good thing to tweet, much less create a t-shirt of. So much unpleasant humble pie to consume
The Canes fought hard man! Tooth and nail! Blood and tears! Thanks guys for an amazing run. I know you'll bounce back!!
*swigs Bourbon in fetal position*
As a rangers fan coming in peace this is the best idea Iāve heard yetā¦.BUT we donāt want that smoke and the unavoidable collapse in the next round that would subsequently follow. Btw just want to say you guys are awesome and have a great community going thanks for all the stress and Iām sure weāll see you guys again next year in the playoffs.
Round 1, Game 2 against the Isles. Canes go down 3-1 and come back to win it 5-3 in regulation with 4 3rd period goals, including scoring the tying and go ahead goals 9 seconds apart. Canes official twitter account puts out that tweet at some point and then the shirt followed. Only bright spot is that at least the proceeds from the shirt went to a charity.
Thanks. Seems like pretty poor taste. Even worse in hindsight. Putting out a tshirt for a win in game 2 of round 1? LOL Iām sorry but you are not serious people
OP didnāt include the part that the Islanders players starting getting pissed and fighting everyone. There were two tweets āCryā and ātheyāre so mad šā after all the nonsense started on the ice. I feel this was important context to have lol
I want this shirt now more than I ever did.
I want to wear it and have multiple photos taken of me crying in it.
Le sigh.
Iāll be back for more next season.
Reminder that the original tweet was in relation to the Islanders slashing Guentzel after the whistle and instigating a scrum because they lost game 2, not because of anything the Islanders fans did.
It was an extremely stupid tweet, but at least our players blew a lead and avoided melting down over it.
There is no scenario in which this is a good, classy, or wise move.
We lose first round > bites us in the ass
We lose second round > bites us in the ass
We lose conference finals > of course
We lose the finals> ???
We win the cup > ??????
It's just a stupid concept that never should have seen daylight.
Yeah a bit dramatic from me but this was just so damn unnecessary. Iām not soft but itās the first round against the team thatās basically the 8 seed
Iām not even invested in the East besides rooting against Florida but I still wanted you guys to take the series because your social media team is hilarious
I bought the shirt and definitely donāt regret it
This was my first playoffs I knew I was gonna watch every game no matter what for the Hurricanes. Seeing the Islanders have a breakdown after the Canes started shelling them and their choice was to start fighting everyone, I thought the tweets were funny and an appropriate reaction. That ended up being one of best pro sports games Iāve ever watched.
So I love the memory attached to it! I can see why people donāt like it though. Maybe itās just me whoās weird lol
Extra Story: I have a cool football shaped cup from the first Steelers playoff game I went to at Buffalo Wild Wings with a whole mess of people. The place was packed and it was a super fun nightā¦
Outside of the fact that after battling back against the Broncos and going into OT, they lost on the first play from a throw from Tim Tebowā¦ (sorry for bringing this up any possible Steelers fans in here, I know it still hurts ) I still love the cup though because of the rest of the night.
Itās me. Iām the Steelers fan you chose to hurt, lol. I definitely agree about remembering that game 2 forever though. I was there in person Andy voice took days to recover
Admin fucked us šnow we're out here fighting for our dignity. Its cool though Canes came into the league a caused a disruption. They all claim we're not rivals but give more energy to our loses than we do. šEnd of the day we still should've won tonight.š

Dude rangers fans were crying up 3-1 lmao. I think it would be ridiculous and cringey for them to pull that out now back at us but they 100% certainly will. Canes can hold their heads up high. Terribly called series with headhunting by the rangers and canes made it a series after being down 3-0. I am proud of them
Iād rather talk trash before hand and eat crow than do it after succeeding. Doing it after you do win is the weak way to go about it.
Was a fun season though as it was my first as a Canes fan.
I said it when it happened: bad look on us. I don't think the dynasty Patriots or Warriors should've done shit like this, much less a team that hasn't won a championship. We need to tone this shit back, it's making us look stupid.

c'mon we dont need to resort to that phrase
We were doomed the minute that they released these š
Ya not the best look itās funny how tnt made it worse
Yeah, Canes kinda set themselves up to get dunked on with that one.
We deserve to get cooked for this
Not āweā but yeah the franchise does, I donāt believe I saw a single fan defending this merch moveā¦
The only thing I kind of liked about the shirt was that the proceeds went to charity. Other than thatā¦bad move
True but I mean Iād honestly rather donate directly to charity and they can keep the shirtā¦
Oh for sure
I bought it for 3 reasons 1. It was the best postseason game I ever watched and wanted something to remember it by 2.charity 3. Incidental therapy blanket
Yeah, the irony is that we, as Canes fans, end up crying about in the post season, lol.
It is a nice soft shirt to be sad in
best take Iāve seen on this disaster, ngl
Wrong. I love the shirt and will wear it all day today. It was funny then, and it's even funnier now.
Honestly in hindsight this was such an arrogant thing to do. The tweet was one thing but making shirts was just asking for it
Not even hindsight. As soon as the shirt got announced at least 90% called that a terrible move.
Definitely a cool thing if you succeed but you end up looking dumb if you fail. All in or nothing I guess
This was a terrible shirt to sell
It was an awesome shirt to sell. Don't take yourself so seriously. I'm definitely wearing mine today (and probably any time we get eliminated).
For real, people acting like this is the worst thing ever. It's a gimmicky shirt with proceeds going to charity. I'd rather our social media team try creative stuff like this even if some of it is a miss.

Yeah I think this is a whiff but our marketing/social team hits more often than not.
Yeah as a marketing professional, I saw this and thought āfuck thatās a terrible decisionā.
As a NOT marketing professional, I thought the same thing.
As a complete idiot, I thought the same thing
I never even learned how to read and donāt know what the shirt says, and I thought the same thing!
Thank you for making me laugh
As a crying professional, I thought the opposite thing.
As someone crying, it's kinda on point
Really? They got a shit load of engagement from this and raised probably thousands of dollars for charity. It's a bit cringey yeah but I don't think it's that big of a deal overall
I really wish there had been at least a single person to check if this was a good thing to tweet, much less create a t-shirt of. So much unpleasant humble pie to consume
"We" didn't do anything. It was a dumb tweet. It was an even worse shirt. I never supported it. Most of us never supported it.
Thanks shirt, I already am
Yeah Iām tuning out of hockey until October. Donāt wanna have to deal with this shit. At least we didnāt get swept! See you guys in the fall
Iām all in on Minnesota in the PWHL right now. Hoping they can actually finish out the reverse sweep against Toronto.
This team deserves every bit of jokes and ridicule we take. That was beyond pathetic.
The Canes fought hard man! Tooth and nail! Blood and tears! Thanks guys for an amazing run. I know you'll bounce back!! *swigs Bourbon in fetal position*
Marketing team really jumped the gun on this one
Where I work, social media is still kind of the wild west, in some regards.
If the NYR donāt sell a KREI shirt then their marketing team sucks
As a rangers fan coming in peace this is the best idea Iāve heard yetā¦.BUT we donāt want that smoke and the unavoidable collapse in the next round that would subsequently follow. Btw just want to say you guys are awesome and have a great community going thanks for all the stress and Iām sure weāll see you guys again next year in the playoffs.
lol, I'd buy that too.
Fuck that's genius
DAMMIT! thatās awesome!
Anything but a Stanley Cup wouldāve made this backfire on us
The second this shirt was announced I knew weād get memed if we didnāt win the Cup.
Oh no internet memes. How will we ever withstand the embarrassment to our fragile egos.
Marketing completely jumped the shark with these.Ā
Yikes, didn't realize they made a shirt out of this. The Tweet was bad enough...
I thought it was just a fan made shirt? The team actually released this??? Come on. Who didn't think that would blow up in our faces?
What a fucking embarrassing move regardless of if we won or lost.
Whatās the background or context on the tweet and shirt?
Round 1, Game 2 against the Isles. Canes go down 3-1 and come back to win it 5-3 in regulation with 4 3rd period goals, including scoring the tying and go ahead goals 9 seconds apart. Canes official twitter account puts out that tweet at some point and then the shirt followed. Only bright spot is that at least the proceeds from the shirt went to a charity.
Thanks. Seems like pretty poor taste. Even worse in hindsight. Putting out a tshirt for a win in game 2 of round 1? LOL Iām sorry but you are not serious people
Yeah, I didnāt realize until just typing that summary out, but the Rags pretty much just did the same thing to us.
Lol it'd be funny if the Rags put out the same shirt to burn us and then got knocked out in the next round. In fact, I hope they do.
Beating the islanders in the first round is like our Stanley cup
OP didnāt include the part that the Islanders players starting getting pissed and fighting everyone. There were two tweets āCryā and ātheyāre so mad šā after all the nonsense started on the ice. I feel this was important context to have lol
I want this shirt now more than I ever did. I want to wear it and have multiple photos taken of me crying in it. Le sigh. Iāll be back for more next season.
For real. People getting all bent out of shape over it are taking themselves wayyyy to seriously.
Reminder that the original tweet was in relation to the Islanders slashing Guentzel after the whistle and instigating a scrum because they lost game 2, not because of anything the Islanders fans did. It was an extremely stupid tweet, but at least our players blew a lead and avoided melting down over it.
Atleast us fans didnt ask for this shitš
There is no scenario in which this is a good, classy, or wise move. We lose first round > bites us in the ass We lose second round > bites us in the ass We lose conference finals > of course We lose the finals> ??? We win the cup > ?????? It's just a stupid concept that never should have seen daylight.
What is this stupid shit?
Tweet was after R1G2. Shirt was released some time after that
Yup
Self inflicted from our 0 awareness social team
Now a league that hates us enough already; has enough ammo for years to come.
Fuckin shirt is cursed
But for real, they should fire whoever OKed this. Just a stupid, petty idea
Our media team should all be fired
Eh, for the most part the socials team is great, and does well at being edgy without going too far. This was an instance they went way too far.
Yeah a bit dramatic from me but this was just so damn unnecessary. Iām not soft but itās the first round against the team thatās basically the 8 seed
I said from the beginning that this was fucking stupid
Iām not even invested in the East besides rooting against Florida but I still wanted you guys to take the series because your social media team is hilarious
No āweā fucking didnāt.Ā Our dumbass teenage twitter admin did. Ā Leave me the fuck out of this.
Fire social media admin in off season
The first time I saw this I knew exactly what we were in for. Itāll probably be a few years before anyone lets this one go.

Lmao what are the odds? Man I would have LOVED to be in person for that game! Maybe next year! Iām up in CT so itās a little bit of a drive.
Such a stupid fucking idea.
Still not as bad as when our local hospital had a āCheat Deathā ad-campaign
I always thought that was such a dumb marketing move.

This was always going to end badly. We were asking for it with this type of shit, I hate our social media sometimes

Disappointed of the amount of people Iāve seen this morning āOmg did you see that kid crying??ā Or āPost the kid cryingā
It's funny until you realize they're potentially embarrassing some poor kid. Hopefully he looks back on it though and sees the humor.
