Things up in the third. Is that how you saw it too? You think? Well, yeah, you know, partially, you know, I mean, we weren't great, that's for sure. Um, I think there was a perfect example of a team that's been playing playoff hockey for a month in a team that hasn't, and it was like, whoa, and we just couldn't get going. And then I thought, you know, as the game kind of wore on, we started getting kind of up to speed with, uh, you know, how it's gonna be nothing against any of the other guys who have played golf for you. But it's kind of seems like it makes a little bit of a difference when you've got Freddie in there from game one playing like that. Yeah, he's difference in the game. Obviously, um, it's been made countless saves tonight, kept us in it and we're able to, you know, squeak it out. So, obviously, that was the difference in the game. Nason gets the screen on the first goal and then he likes, he collects the rebound. Is that what is that what it's gonna take in playoff hockey is just getting into those areas right in the crease and putting putts on all the goals are like that. Right. It's just, you know, tough, tough sled and not a lot of room and you gotta get bodies there, bounces and guys that are willing to get there usually have a little more success. Rod. Do you get a sense when you watch Freddie play? We've, we've watched for a long time how he can lock a game down. It almost was like you give up a goal there and you, you sensed maybe a big period, he got one in the third period. Do you, you almost have that expectation of him most nights? Well, he's, he's just listen, we got him for a reason. He's a, he's a great goalie and unfortunately, you know, he's missed a lot of time. And so this is what you get him for though, this, this time of year. And, um, you know, he's always been a great goalie. He's just, I think he hasn't been able to stay in there so hopefully he can stay healthy cause if he plays like that, you know, we're, it, it's a huge, huge thing. Obviously, goaltending is, it's our, it is what it is in this league. You gotta have it court. You said that, you know, obviously they've been kind of playing desperate hockey for a while. But were you encouraged by how a few of your guys really got in the fight? It seemed like Svet was all, was all night. Um, with the way he, uh, battled around the boards and stuff. I mean, the Express just missed all last playoffs. So I'm sure he was, you know, extremely hungry to be out there. Um, yeah, I mean, there's, listen, it wasn't a terrible game. You gotta give the other team a lot of credit. I, I think that's really where it goes. They were ready to go and at that, you know, the way you gotta do it this time of year with a player like Kuznetsov who's had success in the playoffs previously. Do you have a little more confidence in a player like that? And also you said, you know, it was tough going in the beginning for you to find your game. Did that make the Kuznetsov goal in the first minute? That much more important for sure? Um Yeah, I mean, he's a proven winner. I mean, he's, he, he's done it in the playoffs, like you said, and he's got a Stanley Cup ring to, to, to prove it. So, um and tonight again, he was obviously good. So it was a, he's a, a veteran guy. There's certainly no panic in his game in, in, in this type of environment. That's, that's, I think what uh makes him special coach Rod going back to veal in his first playoff game back, even though he doesn't get the score. He did a great job against the four check providing big hits even though he doesn't score in tonight's game. Are you ok with that element that he brings? Especially to those. I mean, I thought, I thought he was, start to finish one of our better players and, and we had a, he had a handful of chances and I don't know anybody else really had too many. He was, uh, you know, he was a force and that's what we need out of him. Ok.

Hello, everyone. I'm meteorologist, Mike Mays in the WRL severe weather center. With your forecast update for this Friday night, we have about a 20% chance of a shower through the evening and for most of the night, so don't be surprised if you're out for dinner and you run into an isolated shower. That's the possibility toward daybreak. As you can see, rain, chances do increase just a bit. Now for the day tomorrow, it will be a warm one but not hot. Like today, we had 90 out at RDU lunch tomorrow at 75. Our forecast high 82 partly to mostly cloudy skies. It's the abundant amount of cloud cover that should reduce the heat. Now, if we tend to have a little bit more sunshine, it could slip past that. 82 but it shouldn't be as hot as what we had today. And tomorrow's hit and miss showers and storms. 30 to 40% chance in the morning, 40 to 50% in the afternoon, 60% actually as we head into tomorrow night. So we have needed rain ahead. It's been very dry over the past month or so. There is rain in the forecast, it's not going to be a washout weekend. There will be hit and miss showers and storms and the nature of the way rain is this time of year and into the summer, it's more hit and miss. So you may see rain at your house, but your neighbor a mile down the road may not see anything. So we have 50% chance of rain tomorrow. That doesn't mean you're going to see rain. At least there's a 50% chance there is going to be rain in your neighborhood. 60% Saturday night, 50% on Sunday, I think Monday is going to be the day. We have the greatest likelihood, especially Monday night with a 70% chance for showers and storms down to 30 on Tuesday, 40% chance for showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday. So here is the rainfall potential at least through Tuesday, both the American model and the European model show about a three quarter inch of rainfall potential during Saturday, Sunday, Monday and through Tuesday night at 11 o'clock. So it's a pretty good chance that we'll have some decent rain. So tomorrow, anywhere from 82 at Rocky Mountain, Raleigh, 84 in Fayetteville, cooler at Boone 67 there, 81 at Wilmington for Sunday, we expect our highs to be in the low eighties locally still in the sixties at Boone, about 80 in Asheville, 81 at Wilmington, 73 at NAGS head and then on Monday, our highs will be in the low to mid eighties. Still showers and storms in the area. So our forecast tonight isolated a shower this evening, light showers and a possible storm at daybreak lows will be in the low to mid sixties. Our highs tomorrow will be in the eighties. Although our northern counties may stay in the seventies again. Showers and storms are in the forecast, some in the morning, some in the afternoon as well. Seven day forecast, check it out over the next four days. We stay in the eighties. But by the time we get to Wednesday and Thursday, we could be back in the nineties. Could be quite toasty on Wednesday with a high at 94. That's our forecast update for this Friday night. Have a wonderful weekend. I'll see you on Monday.

Protesters marched around UNC on Friday morning. Their nearly-two mile loop stopped traffic and interrupted students daily activities.

Barricades like these are usually put up during moments of unrest during protests, but they were unnecessary today. As a group of pro Palestinian protesters made their way through campus peacefully albeit loudly to get their message carrying signs of support for the Palestinian people impacted by the Israel Hamas war. Roughly 100 protesters made their way through unc's campus. They want the university to pull out any investments in Israeli businesses. It's unknown if us $5.2 billion endowment invests in any companies associated with Israel. It's what led to unrest on UN CS campus. Earlier this week, law enforcement and protesters clashed at an encampment. We're not here to destroy anything. We're here to get a message out. We're here to pressure people. We're here to make a change. Eri Mitchell is yet to see happen, but he feels this group is making an impact. I believe that seeing Palestinian Children holding up signs saying please continue is a green light for us to keep showing solidarity, to keep showing that we're out here. Friday's protests brought the group through U C's campus, stopping traffic and peacefully interrupting daily activities for students taking graduation photos near the old well, which did draw some support from those passing by. You hear other cars honking? Of course not. I do think that we're at some inflection point. This UN C student wanted to remain anonymous. He's at odds internally battling against the school. He'll get a diploma from in a couple of years. I don't know. I think I'm proud to be a student here. I think the students are showing up, but I can't say that I'm proud, I'm definitely not proud of UN C and the system and what they're doing and they say they won't stop until they see change. Sean Gallagher Wral News. Chapel Hill. That appreciate me one solution.
