Carolina Hurricanes: Stanley Cup Champions | Morning Cuppa Hockey

Season 3, Episode 148 of Morning Cuppa Hockey. The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions. Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen tip their cups to the Canes in the first half of the show before Adam Gold — the voice of Hurricanes hockey on 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh and host of Canes Corner — joins to break it all down.

Carolina capped a 16-3 postseason with a 3-0 shutout of the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final Sunday night, claiming Lord Stanley's chalice for the second time in franchise history. Brandon Bussi was immaculate between the pipes, stopping all 22 shots he faced, while Jackson Blake, Taylor Hall, and Nikolaj Ehlers all found the back of the net.

Captain Jordan Staal took home the Conn Smythe Trophy after leading all skaters with six goals in the Final — scoring in each of the first five games — becoming the oldest playoff MVP in NHL history in the process. Rod Brind'Amour, who lifted the Cup as Carolina's captain back in 2006, became just the seventh person in NHL history to win a championship with the same franchise as both a player and a coach.

Adam Gold has been embedded with this fanbase through every heartbreaking conference final exit, and today he joins Jonny and Colby to talk about what this moment means for Raleigh, the legacy of this team, and why a 37-year-old two-way centre just had the most clutch playoff run of the entire season.
