“Shoot the puck” was the chant fans went to late in the 2nd period. Down 4-0 in the third the Canes have just 11 shots. Their lone goal in the series came off Sebastian Aho’s skate. They are yet to “shoot” and score. #RaiseUp

Lot of empty seats in the third. Can’t blame em. Canes didn’t give them much reason to stay, as it goes to 5-0 literally as I type this. Just complete domination from the Panthers.

Taylor Hall with some insight after the game explaining why the Panthers have dominated the series. "If they are up against us all the time we need to get pucks behind them and use that pressure against them." #raiseup

Right now the Carolina Hurricanes need a feel good story and they don't get much better than Emma Izzo. She has special needs, but that hasn't stopped her from forming a special bond with her favorite team. TIzzo #RaiseUp Full story on WRALSportsFan wralsportsfan.com/emma-izzo-beco…

Rod Brind’Amour called out his star players after game 3. Sebastian Aho has stepped up. He’s been all over the net tonight, just hasn’t finished. Defense and Dmitry Orlov a huge bounce back as well, pucks arent even getting to Freddie. Great sticks. #RaiseUp

Was that win therapeutic for anyone else? The Carolina Hurricanes snap their ECF losing streak. First ECF win since 2006. I know it felt good for our post game show crew. They won a game, but can they win the series? Full segment on WRALSportsFan #raiseup wralsportsfan.com/shane-willis-c…

Between the black eye, the hood and a late flight back, Seth Jarvis didn't seem like he wanted to be at the podium, but he did manage to do performance art with this answer about "remembering being young playing on this stage". #RaiseUp "I don't know why you think I'm 40!"

"We have to try not to make those mistakes, but at the same time we have to go for it." Just caught up with Rod Brind'Amour before game 5. Says Mikkola coming back is the bigger matchup problem than Reinhart. Had some great things to say about the play of Nikishin. #RaiseUp

Sebastian Aho said this morning he didn't know about Rod Brind'Amour's comment about needing players other than the rookies Staal and Martinook to step up, but he's been on fire since game 3. He was all over the net in game 4 and now has two goals to show for it here in game 5.

The Carolina Hurricanes snapped their ECF losing streak, but come up short once again. Shane Willis and I grade Rod Brind'Amours coaching job this season and look at how they can take the next step in the offseason. #RaiseUp

Jarvis re-tore his shoulder, Chatfield had a hip injury, Walker hoped to come back in a Stanley Cup Final. Injury situations revealed and big picture plans discussed as over a dozen Carolina Hurricanes players took the mic at exit interviews #raiseup

Gavin Gallaher has been hot as the sun this weekend. In the Chapel Hill regional he's 13-18 with 3 HR, a double, triple and 10 RBI #UNC

Takeaways from Brind'Amour & Tulsky's presser. The fact that losing in the ECF is a disappoint on the whole is a win for the org. They have close to 30 mill in cap space, Tulsky wasn't sure they could even fill it but they'd try. They are in on anything to improve team. #raiseup

Bass Pro shops popularized the idea of an experiential outdoors store but as a little kid in Maine going to LL Bean was like a trip to the amusement park. You’d just leave with a very efficient backpack, fleece jacket and boots.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as if there was any doubt he was a super star. Wow. First finals appearance and he’s just like yes, this is me. I am him.

House settlement (approved tonight) will forever change college sports. What it is, what it means and how it works. Talked to Bubba Cunningham, John Currie, Boo Corrigan and Jon Gilbert at ECU about the implications. wral.com/sports/house-s…
