They Called It A Parlor Trick — The Carolina Hurricanes Called It A Stanley Cup
Episode Description
Summary
They called it a parlor trick. A clever little system that wouldn't survive a real test. They said small markets don't win. They said you can't do it without superstars. They said Rod Brind'Amour was a good coach on a good team — not a great one.
Tonight every single one of those people is wrong.
The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup Champions.
This is the breakdown of how they did it — the battering ram Rod built from scratch, the 37 year old captain who won the Conn Smythe at 70 percent on face offs scoring in the dirty areas, the backup goalie nobody could pronounce who stole the Stanley Cup Final, and the front office that built a dynasty without spending like one.
Gostisbehere for a third round pick. Stankoven for Rantanen. Ehlers on a smart free agency bet. Slavin developed from scratch. Jarvis passed over by his hometown Winnipeg. Blake coming from nowhere.
This isn't a team that spent its way to the Cup. This is a team that thought its way to it.
And the whole hockey world is never going to be the same.
Full comprehensive breakdown coming in a few days. Tonight — let it breathe.
