Frank Corrado

They fired him.

It just happened in Vegas.

They had to fire him.

And John Tortorella was the tender touch that they hired in place of Bruce Cassidy.

Just think about that for a second.

So doesn't that tell you about what was going on in Vegas?

I would say where our team is at right now, we don't need the yelling and screaming.

We don't need the get your heads out of your you-know-what.

We need something a little bit different.

So great coach, maybe not the right fit here right now.

See, last night after the game, when we were doing our post game hits, I basically said the same thing.

Like, I have no read on where this thing is going to go.

Flip a coin and wherever it lands, that's who's going to win this thing.

But I thought about it more today.

If you're Carolina and you stop giving up breakaways and two on ones and quick transitions.

where is Vegas going to get their offense from?

Because I feel like the Vegas Golden Knights have really preyed on what Carolina is doing in regards to being over-aggressive with the Packer defensemen, getting involved in the play a little too much, and they're countering it.

If you clean up that aspect, then in theory, Carolina's in a really good spot.

But to your point, Hayes, and maybe you guys have talked about this earlier,

There's like a wild X factor in Brandon Bussey in being in net for Carolina, which he he was really good when he needed to be late in that game.
