He compares it to fine wine; if he wants a good cabernet sauvignon, he gets it from Napa, California. If he wants a good tomato that reminds him of his childhood, he gets it from Mexico.

Carolina’s last conference-final win was Game 7 in 2006 against Buffalo in the franchise’s lone Cup title run, with Rod Brind’Amour being the captain who scored the third-period winner against the Sabres. Now he’s coaching a team struggling for answers — any, really — afterand a Game 2 that got away about the time Florida’s Gustav Forsling scored 77 seconds after the puck drop.

“Obviously, we’ve got to just figure out how to win a period,” Brind’Amour said.“We’re not going to beat this team if we’re not on the same page. And tonight for whatever the reason — I think the intentions were good, everyone’s trying, ‘OK, I’m going to do this.’ But that’s not how we do it. And it just backfired.”The formula for Carolina through two five-game playoff series, including against the conference’s top-seeded Washington Capitals, remained as straightforward as ever. Use an aggressive forecheck to pressure opponents. Get into the offensive zone and stay there. Fire shots on net, chase rebounds and press the attack.

And oh yes, rely on a penalty kill that had been lights-out good in the playoffs., jumping to 2-0 and 3-0 first-period leads. They’ve scored four times on the power play, double what Carolina allowed as the postseason’s best kill (28 of 30 with one short-handed goal) entering this series rematch.

Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk called Thursday’s start “unreal,” with Florida playing like it expected Carolina’s best punch after a Game 1 thumping. Only that never came, as the Hurricanes struggled to clear the puck or simply gave it away. The performance left Brind’Amour lamenting he “didn’t know what I was watching” in the first 20 minutes.

The closest thing to a highlight was Sebastian Aho’s goal early in the second, one overturned on Florida’s offsides review challenge.“She’s a great shooter, she runs and she’s very tall,” Leite said. “I think it’s difficult to arrive late so I need to help her, on defense and offense.

And Salaun is beginning to learn the plays and various sets ahead of the team’s second game Wednesday at Chase Center,The coaches arrived early at the Oakland training facility Monday to work with Salaun.

“She’s picking things up really fast,” coach Natalie Nakase said. “But we were sending her stuff when she played overseas, we were sending her film, we were doing Zoom sessions. We’re preparing her.”Part of that also will be monitoring her court time early on to avoid overuse considering Salaun has been playing.
