99.9 The Fan: “Former NC Governor And Huge Caniac”
RALEIGH – As the Carolina Hurricanes dominate the playoffs, Roy Cooper has joined The Adam Gold Show on WRAL’s 99.9 The Fan and the OVIES & GIGLIO sports podcast to talk Canes hockey and how he will work to deliver lower costs for North Carolina families.
During Round 1, with the Canes up 2-0: 99.9 The Fan
- Adam Gold: “Our Chief Executive Caniac […] Roy Cooper, the former Governor of North Carolina and one of the biggest Caniacs we know, joins us on The Adam Gold Show.”
- Roy Cooper: “This series is lived up to its billing. We knew it was going to be tough. We knew it was going to be clogged defenses in the middle of the ice and scrapping – it has turned into that.”
- Roy Cooper: “You know, we put four lines out there. They have to be ready with all four of them. So that’s, that’s our secret sauce, I think, hopefully, to get us through this thing.”
After The Canes Swept the Ottawa Senators: 99.9 The Fan
- Roy Cooper: “And I just, I’m so excited now. I was getting a little worried about the layoff, but Nikishin and Ehlers can get well, and hey – we’ll take either one of those Pennsylvania teams, right, ready to go.”
During Round 2, with the Canes up 2-0: OVIES & GIGLIO
- Roy Cooper: “Most of us agree on 95% of things. I mean, we want to have a good retirement. We want to make sure that our kids get a good education. We want health care, we want clean air and water. I mean, those are things that we all agree on. The issues are how we get there and what’s the best way to get there. And I’m one who believes that you should look at everybody’s point of view and then try to arrive at a consensus. Compromise is not a dirty word.”
During Round 2, before Canes-Flyers Game 3: 99.9 The Fan
- Roy Cooper: “Well, vibe check is great […] Things are lining up, but this is NHL Hockey and anything can happen.”
- Adam Gold: “Roy Cooper is in studio with us […] I’ve been calling you our Hurricanes embedded reporter.”
- Roy Cooper [On Canes winning Game 2 in overtime]: “That was truly exciting […] I jumped straight out of my chair when that goal went in.”
