Agreed, despite those flashes of humility, the overall tone was standoff-ish and angry.  He clearly didn't like being called out of the turnover and Rovk Hill stuff.  He also did not want to fully acknowledge or own ALL of the failure that has persisted under his charge.

"repeat that"

"what do you mean?"

"I already answered that"

"what specifically are you asking"

He sound like his diaper was full....

If you read what Tepper said as meaning Fitterer is in danger, you're not "reading between", you're "reading in".

It’s called an opinion, this is what we do here on the message board. We’re not reporters but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say Fitterer didn’t get a ringing endorsement by Tepper today. Therefore his job will be up for discussion at the end of the season. 
 

I like Fitterer but I am not sure what happened behind closed doors and how much of the bad trades, specifically at QB will be put on Rhule vs Fitt

If you put a guy in a position where he doesn't have final authority, how do you then hold him responsible for the guy who did have authority sucking?

Which is why he hasn’t been fired yet. My guess is that Tepper will hire some consultants to help him with, not only the coaching search, but whether Scott should stay on and what the balance will be with the future GM and Head Coach.

Mike Kaye's clarification on what was said...

 

It's impossible to tell who's responsible for all the QB trades and whatnot, and he's probably not trading FOR any other players the rest of the year so it's kinda hard to get a read on if anything has changed on the GM level for the rest of the year. I feel like Tepper did make a comment about how we should be in a better position with the cap and draft picks than we are currently going into next year, but again it's still unclear how much Rhule pushed for all the win now trade stuff

      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.
