Sho Ali 0:01
Me and Ryan have been officially welcomed to the jungle that is Barstool Sports.
Ryan Whitney 0:06
I brought it towards the Coyotes and I asked them if it was okay if I joined the Spit Chicklets podcast full time.
Michael Lewis 0:12
Ryan Whitney, you got a pink Whitney out there now. Get that on camera. It's a full time member. Marley just got an assist from Chris B. Whoa, we're buzzing right now. Honk. What is up, folks? That's a wrap. That's a season. What a cup final. The Carolina Hurricanes are the Stanley Cup champs. Shout out Pink Whitney. Did that have anything to do with them winning the Stanley Cup? Also, sure. Probably not. Probably not, but it helped their fans enjoy some of the parties last night. A lot of it being snuck into the arena for the watch party in Carolina for the Game 6 clincher in Vegas. Pink Whitney representing its boat season, its beach season, its summertime. Time for some Pink Whitney. Put it on ice and enjoy yourselves.
Michael Lewis 1:05
And, guys, one man on this show predicted the Carolina Hurricanes would get it done.
Ryan Whitney 1:11
It's you, right? And seven?
Michael Lewis 1:12
That happened to be me.
Tony Hinchcliffe 1:14
The same guy that said they would never, ever win a Stanley Cup because they don't have a number one center.
Michael Lewis 1:19
Very true. Very true. And for a team who I believe I would say was kind of the original around the league great team that was called a fraud, they just shut everyone up.
Ryan Whitney 1:31
Everybody.
Michael Lewis 1:31
Got everyone up. They did it, and we're going to go through all the ways they did it, all the players that made an impact.
Ryan Whitney 1:37
I would say with the most disrespected wagon probably to ever win a Stanley Cup. They went 16-3 in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and we're fucking talking about them like they're a fucking AHL team. Okay, so...
Michael Lewis 1:51
Yeah, that is a great point.
Ryan Whitney 1:54
Up until now, obviously, they have earned the respect.

How did the Carolina Hurricanes become Stanley Cup champions?

Ryan Whitney 1:56
Like, this is going to be the biggest double-wrister Carolina Hurricanes glaze pod you've ever heard in your life.
Michael Lewis 2:03
And they deserve it. It's from the front office down to DeLaurier coming in. It's like the entire way, and we have all the moves and all the players and everything that's happened there. But seeing Rod Brindamore, and 20 years later, after raising it as captain of the Carolina Hurricanes, get it last after all the players basically chuck it up in the air, hug the thing, which only he could do, right?
Ryan Whitney 2:29
It was a clean and jerk after the hug.
Michael Lewis 2:32
It was a clean and jerk, a snatch. And then he's in the locker room with his shirt off. But more than anything, and this was just said before we started recording, I said, save it for the pod, biz style. Game six was the most Carolina Hurricanes hockey game. It was like it all came together. It was all in the stars. It was all karma that they would actually clinch the cup in a way that they've played hockey for a long fucking time where you don't even have a chance of getting goals against them.
Ryan Whitney 3:00
I think it was a 30-minute span in game time where Vegas only had two shots on net.
Michael Lewis 3:06
At home in a clinching game.
Ryan Whitney 3:08
That is, it was a master class. It was a couple early big saves by Bussey. It got things calmed down. They were able to get the first goal. And after that, man, there was a few times where they look rattled or disoriented. Maybe a few chances on that penalty that Robinson took. But other than that, man, it was one line after another. four check in the way they have all season long, really for the last seven, eight years since they've instilled this winning culture. Right. And at certain points throughout playoffs, you've seen them run into this brick wall, like kind of like a Florida Panthers, but I feel like learning through those experiences and obviously the huge deadline and deals and acquisitions they've made in some of the off seasons, they patched every hole possible that they needed to.
Ryan Whitney 3:56
And my God, and, and I don't, Like, we're talking about this Stanley Cup, boys. They did this with, I think, just over $11 million in cap space remaining. Like, tell me a team that has done that in the cap era that has came that far away from the cap. They have so much more money to spend this offseason if they want to try to bolster their lineup a little bit more.
