The Hurricanes now finally know when their playoff series against the Nashville Predators will start, and continued their preparations Thursday with an on-ice practice.
Dougie Hamilton, Jordan Martinook and Rod Brind’Amour spoke to the media after, here’s a full breakdown of everything they had to say:
Rod Brind’Amour
On Jaccob Slavin and Cedric Paquette: Nothing’s changed, really. Both those guys, we’re hopeful to get them back. Obviously they couldn’t practice today, so hopefully we’ll get them in here in the next few days.
On if it’s different when the team you’re playing is one you’ve had success against in the regular season: I think everything goes out the window, to be honest with you.
