Watching interviews with McAdoo lately and I am seriously impressed with our OC outlook.  Positive, knowledgeable and strong leadership is showing up as well.  Obviously night and day with Brady, this man knows this league and what it takes to win.  We have something special with him IMO.  Probably has been posted but sharing…this is predraft

Will be adding other vids here but one thing has been important to note with Corral.  He is very introverted…more than probably he even would like to be.  He needs to mature and get comfortable with who he is as a leader.  He comes off as very uncomfortable in interviews but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care or isn’t dialed in.   I can see that he could come across this way.  He needs time and has to be able to build confidence cause it isn’t there naturally

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that Corral's leadership is a strength.  Idk if that's true but I suspect being comfortable with the media and being a good leader for his teammates are definitely two distinct concepts.

It still would not shock me at all if he, at the very least, ends up being our interim head coach this coming season (probably at the midway point)

I am not sold on the 5 year plan 

I understand the outlook based on what has happened recently but the more I listen to these guys talk the more I gain confidence.  These guys have a plan and are building something.  Love the coaching hires to date.  We need to let this jell…it is coming

Fiery guy on the field and will go to war but self confidence is a bit of struggle IMO

Maybe he doesn't love media interviews but he's a total 180 from Sam Darnold in the locker room and the huddle from what I've heard. They held weekly team therapy sessions at Ole Miss where he encouraged players to speak their minds and be vulnerable about any personal issues so the team could really build a connection.

Possibly…will add many times guys like this will be obsessed with success.  They can’t imagine failure…its too much.  If that is the case he has a chance to be a great one.  Different people have different paths

He might be that way in interviews, but from what I've heard about him with his team he's everything you want him to be.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
