Grateful to the @Canes & Brandon Bussi for taking the time to chat today. What a story of his journey to the Stanley Cup Final.
"I think that's how we was raised up, to be honest. Just hard work, y'know, and God wills you everything."

17 years after his last Stanley Cup Final appearance, Jordan Staal is consistent as ever.
The @Canes captain has been a total force.
Brandon Bussi starts. Pyotr Kochetkov backs up. Amir Miftakhov told after AHL practice today to get to Raleigh. He landed just after 7pm, en route to arena.
Canes insist all goalies (including Freddy Andersen) are eligible, but seems like Miftakhov is third goalie tonight.

Brandon Bussi, Jalen Chatfield, Dylan Coghlan & Cole Smith are among those NHL players who went undrafted.

Brandon Bussi joins @emilymkaplan after getting a win in his first career playoff start.
While Frederik Andersen is not dressed tonight, he’s technically Carolina’s EBUG (emergency backup)
So if something happened to other two goalies, Andersen would go in.
Brandon Bussi starts for Carolina in Game 4. Pyotr Kochetkov backs up.
I’m told Frederik Andersen is a healthy scratch. No injury designation.
