Canes practice again today at 11. I’m thinking they probably practice today and get the weekend off before a morning skate on Monday.
 

Hopefully Fast was just a stinger and will be back out there today but nobody asked Rod about it during the coaches interview portion yesterday.

Major Shade. Ned has the best stats out of all of them but they ranked him 15th.

"14. Petr Mrazek, Carolina Hurricanes (6-2-3, 2.06, .923)

Total Points: 49

Mrazek injured his thumb in his fourth start and missed more than two months. He returned for five games before sustaining a lower-body injury April 19 and didn't play again until May 4. He is 1-1-1 in his three games since returning, allowing 10 goals on 84 shots.

15. Alex Nedeljkovic, Carolina Hurricanes (15-5-3, 1.90, .932)

Total points: 45

He had the best save percentage among goalies to start at least 15 games this season. Nedeljkovic won the Calder Cup with Charlotte of the American Hockey League in 2019. He never has played in the Stanley Cup Playoffs but could be the Game 1 starter. Since Feb. 20, Nedeljkovic has allowed two or fewer goals 16 times in 20 games."

    • Im very similar to Ron in being a company/league man. But that ends after the third head hit, I would have lost my religion. Then after I got kicked out of the game, Id 100% be dropping nukes in the after-game presser. fug you fine me whatever, I am going to protect my QB and since logic and reason isn't being used, I can be the bad guy.  The replays showed clear evidence, Id feel no shame in cussing out a crew of chicken poo refs. In fact Id tell the video staff to play infractions on a split screen during my press conference. 
    • And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother. That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....   The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.
    • Honestly the 2024 draft class(minus brooks). All are in line to be starters, expect crumedy who's fighting for a 53.  Still that class was looking terrible, is now looking like 4 starters and maybe 1 depth. Anytime you draft 2 starters and a key depth piece its a good draft. 4 starters are rare and that's with brooks who could have made 5 starters if not for awful luck.  That draft also helped land starter Michael Jackson in a round about way, big bonus..
