@bardown: Rod Brind'Amour on what it means to him to become the seventh person to win the #StanleyCupFinal as the Captain and a Coach of the same team! (via @ESPN)

Bjorn :

16-3 in the playoffs damn

bbaifernx :

god damn

derekkiefer4 :

That’s a real fucking coach

Mr B :

Rod the bod

leamweston256 :

what makes this crazy he was captain when they won the cup in 06 and 20 years later he led the hurricanes to victory as a coach

ilovesledding :

Wales :

those 11 days of rest in between teams certainly helped

ccait12 :

The best coaches put their players before themselves

Shicketydickey :

This dude is the Carolina Hurricanes hockey success. Out of the 106 total playoff wins the Hurricanes have, Rod has been a part of 104 of them, as both a player and a coach. Also the first coach to win a cup on the same team he was on when he won as a player since 1968.

Lasagna with meat sauce :

He’s so humble and really cares about his players 🥹 Canes really did deserve this win

Ben Georgy :

As an oilers fan this guy broke my heart in 06. My programming makes me want to dislike this man, but hes just such a gd beauty that I only love him.

Allu :

It's for rod as much as it is for the players

Bigmatt :

Never heard him talk like that

bill :

class act there. I'd play for him ANYTIME

Ro🌼 :

Rod is the coach every team wants ong he’s so fantastic. Carolina is lucky to have him.?

🇨🇦 Cris :

What a run for these guys. Amazing. 16 3 is insane.

xsquar3d_ :

A coach you want

Golf guy 55 :

So happy for him to get as a player and. A coach well deserved even after beating my Ottawa team. Congratulations to the 10 Canadians taking it home.

gagehornby :

Best coach

Sooper Cooper Trooper 🐾 :

As a coach for my son's team I swear 90% of coaches I meet find more enjoyment and fulfillment in the game of hockey seeing their players develop and win games than when they were playing.

EWS91 :

Still handsome.

Josh :

he knows exactly how they are feeling. I love this game

ChcknballZ :
