## Resource

Carolina Hurricanes roar to their first Stanley Cup in 20 years, crushing Vegas 3-0 in the final with Brandon Bussi stopping every shot. Head coach Rod Brind’Amour joins elite NHL history as the seventh coach/player to win with the same team—and the fourth to do it as captain and coach. Captain Jordan Staal earns Conn Smythe honors with eight goals and four assists, leading a deep, balanced attack that outscored Vegas 12-5 in the final three games. Taylor Hall, Jackson Blake, and Nikolaj Ehlers all chipped in, with Ehlers sealing it with an empty-netter. Momentum shifted decisively as Carolina’s offense exploded and defense locked down, proving depth and grit win championships. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
