Brind'Amour leading another playoff run, this time as coach:
The Panel: Hurricanes put Islanders on the brink with another impressive winRALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes haven't made the playoffs often. When they do, they stick around for a while.
The common denominator in those deep post-season runs has been Brind'Amour, who has climbed nearly every branch of the organization's tree during almost two decades in Raleigh. There aren't many common threads through the past 17 years for the Hurricanes during their up-and-down stretch marked by a handful of peaks and several valleys — including a nine-year post-season drought that ended this year. They've changed owners, general managers, coaches, captains and players — lots of them.He's played a central role in each deep post-season run. He was an alternate captain on the 2002 team that improbably reached the Cup final.
Islanders coach Barry Trotz, who graduated less than a decade before Brind'Amour from the same Saskatchewan high school, sees the Hurricanes reflecting their coach on the ice, finding a way to win every game so far in a series that's been tight despite the 5-2 final in Game 3 on Wednesday night.
