Rod Brind'Amour On Officiating, Trade History and Winning in Carolina | 32 Thoughts Pop-Up Edition
The Carolina Hurricanes are a hard team to play thanks to their coach. Elliotte sat down with Rod Brind’Amour in Ottawa the day after his son, Skyler, won the Frozen Four with Quinnipiac. They talk about Skyler’s journey in hockey, the make up of the Canes, why he got into coaching, the Stanley Cup run in 2006, being part of some massive trades during his playing days, his relationship with owner Tom Dundon, the culture in Carolina and the changes he feels need to be made to officiating in the NHL to make it an even playing ground.

40:55 - that look over directly into the camera when Rod said that.... perfection.

[@mattvincent39]

Life long die hard Philadelphia Flyers fan. Rod Brind'Amour is my all-time favorite Flyer, all-time favorite hockey player of all time! My first Flyers jersey, when I was 9, was a Brind'Amour jersey. My 8 year old son currently has said jersey! I was 15 when Philly traded Rod to Carolina and I legit cried. I didn't cry but I did tear up when Rod and Carolina won the cup in 06'. Love this dude and love seeing him being successful as a coach. Now Hall of Fame voters pull your heads out of your butts and put Rod in the Hockey Hall of Fame. He freaking deserves it!

[@clbeav]

We are so lucky to have Rod as our coach in Carolina.

Arguably THE best

@@willmooneyham1842 I think so but I also realize I am not familiar with lots of coaches.

As a Canes fan, not a game has gone by where I didn't feel lucky we took a chance on giving him a shot.

[@seegee9]

I'm not a canes fan but rod is the man. Would be cool to see him win the cup as Carolina coach too. Has anyone ever won it as a player and coach for the same team?

[@fearlessleader8623]

Rod seems like a great coach..he gets max effort from all his players they seem to respect him and buy into the system, even with a ton of injuries the canes are still competitive

[@ChillBlinton]

Erik Haula didn’t buy into it. There’s a reason he got pummeled in their last matchup 😂

[@bikenmike1024]

And that’s why Haula gets booed when he comes to Carolina as a visiting player

​@@ChillBlinton and haula is 0-3 against the canes the last three years 😂

[@integrity101]

Great player. Philadelphia loved this guy

[@seegee9]

I think there's something to it when a coach has played at an elite nhl level too. Probably a different level of respect. Tocchet seems to have the same effect on his guys

[@anthonym6078]

Rod seems like such a great coach, you can tell how much the game of hockey means to him and I can only imagine how many walls his players would run through for him. He still seems like just a regular guy, it doesn't look like the fame and/or wealth went to his head. I always liked him as a player but he might be just as good if not better at being a coach.

[@dorksn]

Mad respect to Rod. I wish my fav team had a coach like him.

[@moxyxxx]

The NHL should be listening to this gent - was a great player and is now a great coach - Very Intelligent approach to the game and the refereeing - line call conversation is brilliant.

[@Dentarthurdent99]

Great coach, great person. Glad to see people learning what a great area this is to live and work in (current State government shennanigans aside).

I LOVE Rods idea for referring changes just look at what the XFL done his plan could 100% be done and held better accountability of the game.

[@schaefman]

Love this. Fortunate to see Rod interviewed 100x per year on local TV but I think EF is one of the best in his field so this was a great chance to see them together. Rod should be in the HOF and his changes for officiating make perfect sense.

[@bmoney2011]

All-time great coach. Yes, I'm incredibly biased.

[@mtbcyclist]

Such a modest individual and such a "players" coach. One heck of a human being too. Love his ideas on fixing how to call and review penalties near the end of the interview.

[@jacobfleenor1714]

A players coach with a good eye for the game, I think that's important. Lots of players coaches played in the 70s or 80s and don't have a good idea of how the game is now. RBA played until 2010, he's got a lot better idea what it's like in the league today.

[@seegee9]

​@jacobfleenor1714 I went back and looked at his stats I feel like in my head he stopped playing in like 2005 lol. Guy was a machine

[@chrisbauman2562]

Growing up as a center my dad made me watch rod religiously for his faceoff abilities. I use to win very crucial faceoffs in big games due to him. He was a nasty goal scarer and had the speed

[@hah9766]

I remember when he played he was awsome and as a coach he is awsome. Such a awsome guy he is real and honest we need more people in this world like rod!

great interview!

[@jessicapascual4520]

Love Rod!!! Been the biggest fan of his since ‘92. The saddest day of my life was when he got traded but when I finally seen him raise the Cup and as the captain for the Hurricanes was the greatest ever. Cannot wait to see The Canes raise the Cup again with him at the helm. This man totally deserves to be in The Hockey Hall of Fame.

[@Dragonsbane38]

Love Rod, what a great interview!

[@thatcanadianwhitetrashguy]

Rod knows that Playing Your Positions and making sure some covers them is what get you the Cup. Canadian Teams hate positional hockey so they don't win the Cup. Mathews, Nylander and Marner would make better Ice Capades Skaters than Playoff Hockey Players. Then the Only Contact They have to put up with is Lifting a Pretty girl in the Air, that is More Their Style of Skating.

[@sean3125]

I hated this guy when he beat the Oilers in '06. But man, does he seem cool. Good for him and Carolina.

Rod's take on Referreeing is amazing. Man do I wish this was the case 😂💯

[@crent9191]

He's friends with Nuge: Ryan Nugent -Hopkins. They run a charity golf tournament every summer in Campbell River, B.C.

[@B.Jewels]

This was a really good interview. Rod Brind'Amour is a such a great story teller and so down to earth. I like that he took the cup🏆away from Gary😂he was afraid his suggestion on the refs would get him in trouble 😂seriously thou the league should hear him out that was a good idea.😂 I 'm thinking he would make a really good GM for the leafs even as a coach but i can just see him sitting at the top next to Brendan Shanahan. Just saying.

[@kckrebs37]

It crushed me when he was traded from Philly. It still crushes me knowing he will likely never coach for us either...

[@sweetwater156]

We never traded him once he came here. He won the Stanley Cup here. He retired as a Cane and we raised the banner. We love Rod because he never left NC. He worked as an assistant coach for a while before he got the call for the head coach job. I appreciate when he said he’d coach the Canes or he’d retire. He’s right. We have a great place to live for players. We have good weather (until the summer and they’re gone anyway), we’ve got world class golf courses, and honestly if I saw Andrei Svechnikov at the Harris Teeter, I’d give him a head nod and a quiet “let’s go canes” as I passed his cart in the aisle. We don’t bother our canes. We know them and love them, we are still respectful and we will geek out in the next aisle over.

Let's go to Chilliwack chiefs His son played for the chiefs my home team

[@bobhenry6159]

Rod Brind'Amour is developing into a great coach, but he isn't 'one of the best' just yet. His current coaching record doesn't come close to supporting that, but this is just his 5th year. IMO, this is his best year yet. I'm amazed how the team has overcome so many key injuries and make it to the semis. Unbelievable how good they are playing without Svechnikov and Pacioretty. Losing those 2 would have crippled most teams. Brind'Amour spent most of his career as a minus player. I guess he changed his view when he started coaching because he has everyone buying into the 2-way game.

[@skoal91]

Good for the Canes believing in their system and players they have even with the injuries. Didn't trade draft capital or prospects and hurt long term future at the deadline. All the teams that loaded up big time are eliminated already. Wish the Canucks could be ran like the Canes instead of being the worst run franchise in the league.

Rod isn’t a good coach. He just plays the trap. Sit back and take what the other team gives you. That isn’t hockey. That’s why the canes blow. That’s why anyone can come in and excel. They have no actual good players. Watch Aho he loses the puck frequently. Can’t cycle well down low. They just get their opportunities by trapping and then whoever gets the most ice time scores the goals.
