Brewin Flames Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Rod Brind’Amour agrees to 3-year extension with Hurricanes By Sean Leahy, Jun 17, 2021, 11:10 AM EDT Rod Brind’Amour is staying in Carolina after the Hurricanes announced they’ve agreed to a to a three-year extension with their head coach. “Rod has been the driving force behind the culture change we’ve undergone here,” said Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell. “He keeps our players motivated, demands accountability, and has our team ready to compete every night. He has truly raised the bar for our organization, and we’re thrilled to have him continue as our coach for years to come.” In three years behind the bench, Brind’Amour, 50, has compiled a 120-66-20 record and helped transform the Hurricanes into Stanley Cup contenders. He’s led them to the playoff in every season he’s been head coach, a feat no other coach in franchise history has done. This season, Carolina was in contention for the Presidents’ Trophy and ended up winning the Central Division, their first division title since being Southeast Division champions in 2005-06. The extension took time, but Brind’Amour reportedly wanted his staff taken care of as well. There were also rumors that the expansion Seattle Kraken might be an option if things didn’t work in Carolina. “I would have a hard time thinking I could do the same job I’m doing here somewhere else because this is a part of me,” Brind’Amour said Thursday. “This place, I’ve been here forever. Again, it’s more about the people that I get to come to work with everyday. That wouldn’t be the case somewhere else. It just wouldn’t be.” Brind’Amour is a finalist for the 2020-21 Jack Adams Award. The winner will be announced Thursday during Game 3 of Islanders-Lightning (8 p.m. ET; USA Network / Peacock). Now that the Hurricanes’ job is closed, that leaves the Coyotes, Kraken, and Sabres as the only NHL vacancies. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Good for the Hurricanes! A true franchise legend in every respect I took my North Carolinian nieces to his Flyers Hall of Fame induction and they were asking me why they were inducting the Hurricanes' (then Assistant) coach? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leclair was hurt and out that game though so never got to see the Legion of Doom play and Renberg was in Tampa. So but i remember being blown away how many Flyer fans where it was really on full display after the game when every one was exiting the arena Orange was flooding out all over the place. Well Canes certainly won that trade. They won a Cup and Rod actually scored more points for the Flyers (601 vs 473) but he played in more games for the Canes. All they got from Keith was 213 points. Rod went on and had a 70 and 82 point season at 35 and 36 years old. What might have been... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegx.ca Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Good signing for sure...having a good coach is getting more and more undervalued in the big leagues for all sports...I'm literally shocked every year that Carolina does good because I always underestimate them thinking how do they keep winning and coaching has to be huge factor I keep overlooking so yeah this is a good coach Carolina has...

So Rod can do something worthy of being in the Flyers Hall of Fame? https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/40070861/hurricanes-brindamour-feels-really-good-reaching-new-deal Quote "Yeah, I had a great conversation yesterday with Don, and then again this morning," Brind'Amour said. "I feel really good that we'll figure it out quickly. Yeah, I'm not concerned." That came a day after Waddell said he was "very confident" that the two sides would reach a deal. "We talk daily about it," Waddell said in a Zoom call with reporters following the team's first-round series win against the New York Islanders. "I feel very confident as I've said before that this deal will get done. Rod wants to be a Hurricane for life." Hall of Fame, baby. Hall of Fame.
