I was a little surprised to see Edmundson be as demonstrative with his former teammates before the game. Hugs and fist bumps. I’m glad he was, but contrast that with Maroon who was more reserved. I’m sure Pat was friendly with the guys behind the scenes, but he had his game day face on.
I wonder if any Canes players were bothered by it.
I think the difference is that Maroon feels some leadership responsibility, but Edmundson doesn’t. In Carolina, he’s just a guy. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I know in years past no player would have dared to be openly chummy with his opponent before a game.
