Instrumental Figure in Hurricanes Arrival in Raleigh Passes Away at 83 Saturday, local real estate developer, E.
Stephen Stroud, passed away.
In the 1990s, he alongside North Carolinas leaders helped to convince the Hartford Whalers owner to make the move to the Triangle area of N.C., and went on to oversee the development of the then RBC Center (now Lenovo Center).
The plaza between Lenovo Center and Carter Finley Stadium, E.
Stephen Stroud Way, was named in his honor, and served as the location of the watch parties during the recent Stanley Cup Final.
May he rest in peace.
Jordan Staal Speaks on Brady Tkachuk Fight to Start Postseason Tuesday, Jordan Staal joined the Spittin Chiclets podcast to discuss the Stanley Cup run and everything around it.
Of course, one of the big points of discussion was the fight with Brady Tkachuk in Game 1 of Round One against the Ottawa Senators, to which Staal gave a very insightful response of that moment compared to previous seasons.
I think it brought our team together, he said.
I think those Panthers series, I think we got outmuscled a bit too much and I regret not doing a better job with that stuff.
Not really fighting obviously, after that but the way we held our own against a really physical team and a tough team.
You see a lot of other guys started caring for each other, stepping in in certain situations, there were moments there that I hadnt seen in the past from our team.
He went on to say that he was ready to do anything it would have taken to win, jokingly saying, If I get knocked out, you guys better figure it out.
The full show is available on Netflix.
