But they have to be willing and able to do that.

I think Jordan Stahl.

I think Jordan Stahl's been a great story.

It's a little bit of recency bias because of what he's done in the series.

But this is the series that gets you a Stanley Cup.

So why not have the biggest moments?

And I think for Jordan Stahl, a couple things.

First of all, the way he plays very much embodies the Carolina Hurricanes, right?

Like just very industrious, hardworking, nothing super flashy.

That's the Hurricanes.

The other thing is...

Sebastian Ajo is not giving you much offense right now, and you're getting your offense from two lines.

So Jordan Stahl, who's mainly a defensively responsible guy, matchup guy, is giving you the offense.

So that's like he's picking up the slack in a big way.

The other thing, if you look last night, Jordan Stahl plays about four and a half minutes on five on five against Eichel and against Marner and against Barbashev and against Stone.

A lot of times, the guys that have to play those big five-on-five minutes against the team's best forwards, it's hard for them to find that extra ice to get a shot off or to get a puck in front of the net.

He's playing five or so minutes against McNabb, who is equally as big and strong.

But Jordan Stahl is not only keeping Eichel quiet, he's scoring.

So I think it's a pretty compelling argument, if Carolina were to win the Cup, that Jordan Stahl could be the guy that wins the consolation.

The goal he scores to win that game, there might not be a lot of guys who could get that reach on that puck and elevate it the way he did.
