Several times in our conversation, he discussed higher expectations. In 2006, we did a piece on the eventual Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes, and Brind’Amour — who finished 10th in Hart Trophy voting that year — enjoyed a bigger role, adding he was disappointed it didn’t happen earlier in his career. Asked if there was someone on the current roster who could be the 2018-19 version, he offered high praise for Jordan Staal, who scored 19 times. “In my opinion, he can be
Patrice Bergeron. We know he can defend, but there is more offence to him.”
Another fix? Told the Hurricanes had a reputation for not being hard to play against, Brind’Amour agreed. “Some nights, it was painful.”

This is actually a really good idea. Dundon is building a practice facility from the ground up anyhow, so why not trick it out. Luxury locker rooms are the trend already -- especially at the five power conferences in college football -- and I'm sure we're headed that way, but why not just go totally nuts. The Bruins, Lightning and (obviously) Vegas just opened new ones, so I'm sure we'll follow suit, but wouldn't it be cool to let one of the design shows on HGTV have at it, and come up with a few nuggets nobody else has thought of?

Property Brothers to hcanes confirmed.
I can see it now. Love It Or List It returns to the Raleigh area, they do a complete reno of PNC and the practice facility ..... and Dundon goes with the dude, “I’m going to List It,” and boom Houston here we come.

There was I think two Bar Rescue's in the area. I remember seeing a news article that a lot of contractors didn't get paid or something like that for at least one of them.

Moonruners in Garner (formerly Characters or something). Their food truck is really good, my favorite fries.
Dual Ultra Lounge/Nightclub in Raleigh (formerly Cashmere). Never went to either, both apparently sucked and are now closed.

Being on Bar Rescue (and Kitchen Nightmares) is a death blow to a venue. I think I read the success rate for those places is less than 10% after the shows leave. Most of it has to do with the fact you can change the facade and the menu, but you can't change the ownership. Most end up closing within 2 months after the show leaves town.

Ah, thanks. I went to Cashmere many years ago and thought it was a dump so that must have been before the show. Never been to the other place.

I would assume that 90% of them would fail with or without the show, which is why they are on the show? I don't think I've ever seen the show, but given the name, I assume it's a show where a team comes in to help a struggling venue?

So back on topic.... I wonder when we'll hear about assistant and goalie coaches

I'll have to dig up what I saw but could have sworn I heard something along the lines of them having received a vote of confidence from Brindy.

They still need one more assistant Cole.
Edit: I shit you not that was an unintentional auto-correct.
Everyone and their Siri knows who it’s going to be...
Another reason to be excited. Because that guy is excited.

They are building up our hopes. Will it be different this time?
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis has Big Kahunas
I can see that. "We weren't good enough" becomes "not a single one of you was good enough", and eventually people tune out or shut down.
Yeah, but will "that guy" get his contract renewed? I hope he's not excited from his couch.

Now that I read your post, you might be right. I read it differently at first. I read the "how he wants them to play" and "lump them into the same bin" more as he wanted every player to play the exact same style, even if it didn't fit their strengths. For instance, having guys like Skinner and Lindholm play the same way as McGinn vs. taking advantage of their skills.
