Brock McGinn is one of the Hurricanes’ most underrated players. His ability to grind out opponents and lay big hits, makes him an indispensable part of Carolina’s overall defensive game and penalty kills.
Along with that, is the energy he plays with in his game. It will be important for the Hurricanes to ride off of that energy when they are playing in an empty arena come August 1. McGinn spoke to the media over Zoom following Tuesday’s practice.
On coming in healthy and rested: It’s definitely a different scenario. I don’t think anybody has been in a scenario like this, but getting those few little months there to rest the body and whatever wounds you had is nice.
