How Rod Brind’Amour Transformed the Hurricanes Into Surprising Championship Contenders Overnight
2026 Stanley Cup Final Schedule and Results
Rod Brind’Amour has that championship mindset that he has passed down to players. There is an understanding that while the hurdle of the Eastern Conference Final is over, the Hurricanes haven’t really accomplished anything. Nobody remembers who finished second. If you are gonna lose, why not in the first round?
“I don’t think we have broken through, you know what I mean?” Rod Brind’Amour added. “Like, you got to win. So I know everyone makes a lot about getting this far, but nobody’s gonna remember who comes in second. If you’re gonna lose, you might as well lose in the first round. Like, it doesn’t really make a difference to me. It’s all about winning. So we haven’t done that yet. So, it’s a tough question to ask. Like I said, I’m really appreciative that we have the opportunity to go ahead and win now. And so, that’s huge. Ask me in a couple more weeks.”
