Peter Laviolette, Rod Brind’Amour go head-to-head after winning Stanley Cup together
NY Post
Peter Laviolette and Rod Brind’Amour will take their respective places behind the Rangers and Hurricanes benches for Game 1 of the second round of the 2024 playoffs on Sunday, 17 years, 10 months and 16 days removed from winning a Stanley Cup together as coach and captain in Raleigh, N.C.
So much has happened since the two reached hockey’s Mount Everest together.
Brind’Amour hung up the skates in 2010 and picked up a whistle as a Canes assistant the following year before he was given the reins in 2018.
Laviolette went on to coach four more teams, leading two of them to the final.
What hasn’t happened? Neither have won another Stanley Cup.
And so the former pillars of the Hurricanes’ lone championship now find themselves as adversaries on opposing benches, looking to prevent one another from achieving the ultimate goal they once set out to accomplish together and ultimately did.
