Well, we're feeling pretty good.

I'd like to give you the inside information as to how I got here, but I'm not going to do that because it's a long explanation.

I will tell you this much, Lou.

I will tell you this much.

Upon leaving the hotel, which isn't that far away from the arena, I was stopped in the hallway along with Mark Masters in the lobby of the hotel.

Huge Jeff O'Neill fans.

Huge Jeff O'Neill fans.

Their prediction is there will be a large number of O'Neill Carolina Hurricanes jerseys in the building for game five.

There has been throughout the playoffs.

And I don't recall the gentleman's name.

Oh, but he said that he sent you a bobblehead, a Jeff O'Neill bobblehead a while back, long time ago.

So fake news or did this actually happen?

Yeah.

It's an ongoing story, obviously, and what we know is what we saw.

We saw Brandon Bussey in the starters net for the Hurricanes as part of the morning skate.

Rod Brennamore, in fact, you guys probably heard and saw the sound bite as part of his availability.

He at least updated us on Freddie Anderson's status.

The fact that Freddie was on the ice prior to the Hurricanes morning skate.

And he says, look, everybody is available.

Now, this doesn't mean anything.
