you gotta love how he's direct.

Q: Was safety a sore spot for you last year?

It was for us. In what you do defensively, you have to have a guy step up. But at the same time, you’ve also go to have a guy in front of them that’s a communicator. I love Dan Connor, but Dan Connor’s not a communicator. He’s a hard-nosed, grindstone type guy. And that was tough on our safeties. But now you’ve got Jon Beason, who communicates like you can’t believe. You’ve got Luke Kuechly, who shows he knows how to communicate. So right through the middle of our defense we’ve gotten better. Now, knock on wood, we stay healthy. Because that’s probably the biggest problem we had more so than anything on defense really was getting healthy. Once the injuries started coming, we had to change the personality of how we wanted to do things and what we wanted to do. Now we have something where for the last five weeks, we’ve been able to work on this in the classroom (portion of OTAs).

the rest...

      Nina King continues to run circles around the rest of college basketball. She's been ahead of the curve on everything, and is the biggest reason for Duke's success post-K IMO. I think Scheyer is great at many things, but Duke went into the NIL era 100% ready whereas everyone else was playing catchup.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 4 Rd 3 8pm

      Happy they won convincingly instead of letting them hang around. Montreal is cooked, and rather than play hockey, they've decided to take some really cheap shots at guys. I get a player may feel a need to set the tone, and I understand how that works. But to 2-hand cross check someone intentionally in the face, to have a guy down on the ice and put his head into the ice with a stick, to just start punching anyone who gets within arm's reach- that's not setting the tone. That is nothing short of playing dirty.  That said, the Canes.... oh boy. They could have run this score to 6-0 with half a power play. It's embarrassing how bad the PP is. If the Canes go to the Cup finals against a team who scores at least 1 goal per game on the PP, they'll lose the close games because of the lack of results on the PP.

      Because he knows they are winning the cup. And I fully support his decision.
