Well, hope you’re doing well. I always enjoy chopping it up. Remember that article we wrote about Matt’s staff? That was a masterpiece lol. I mean, not the actual tenure here, but the article lol. Always appreciate your insight.

I remember the sleep I lost 😄

Health concerns and such have backed me off of writing as much as I used to. Only completed one coaching candidate profile this time around.

It was for Frank Reich 😄

Will say at least that I probably put more effort into that one than I have any written before. Hopefully the need for things of that type doesn't arise again anytime soon because I might be too tired to do it 😴

On the flipside though, love what you're doing with the page, your radio job and the college broadcast opportunities you've had. You worked hard for it and you deserve it, so kudos from me...

Imagine dropping Scot's name to defend not being a bootlicker. LOL

(In all seriousness - I do enjoy the pod)

Hell, depending on how we were doing, I've been called homer, hater, cheerleader, grouchy old man, optimist, pessimist and about everything else but ventriloquist 😄

Personal favorite though was when someone said I worked for the team and was planted here to try and sway opinions on their favor

(rotten bastards never paid me a single penny for all my hard work, either) 😡

Thanks! I certainly tried to walk the fine line between screaming like a maniac, and praising everybody in the building. I think we hit the sweet spot.

My ultimate read right now is that it's just too soon to be all that certain of anything much yet. 

There are positives, there are negatives and there are unknowns. Those could change plenty over time.

Talk to me once we're past midseason and we'll probably have a lot clearer picture.

I know sports talk and hot take culture despise nuance and patience, but I'm a big fan of both.

      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.
