SiriusXM Morning Skate with Scott Laughlin, Gord Stellick, Tyler Madarasz & Lucas Critelli

Twenty years after their first Stanley Cup championship, the Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions once again. Carolina completed a dominant postseason with a 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 6, finishing the playoffs with an impressive 16-3 record. Brandon Bussi recorded a 22-save shutout, while Jackson Blake, Taylor Hall, and Nikolaj Ehlers provided the offense.

Captain Jordan Staal was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after a memorable postseason performance, adding another championship to his decorated career. Behind the bench, Rod Brind'Amour continued his Hurricanes legacy, becoming one of the few people in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup with the same franchise as both a player and a coach.

In this episode, we break down Carolina's historic run to the Cup, the standout performances that defined the Final, and what this championship means for the franchise's future.
