Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pHk81vzOFdY In Episode 351 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome back reigning Stanley Cup champion Rod Brind'Amour. The Hurricanes' eight-year journey to a championship could best be described with one word: conviction. In his first seven seasons as the Head Coach, the Canes qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs each season. This included advancing past the first round on six occasions, including three trips to the Eastern Conference Final. Despite not reaching the ultimate goal, owner Tom Dundon elected to stay the course with GM Erik Tulsky and Rod Brind'Amour's vision for a relentless style of play that required every player to buy into the Hurricanes' blue-collar culture. The reward: a Stanley Cup Championship in Year Eight. Listen as he shares how a cinder block became a symbol for a Cup victory, how to implement a high-intensity style of play, and why off-the-puck play is key to trusting young players.
