Rod Brind'Amour captained the Hurricanes to the Stanley Cup in 2006.
Tonight, he won it again as their coach.
He's just the seventh person in NHL historyโand the first since Toe Blake in 1956โto win the Cup with the same franchise as both a player and a coach.

One of the craziest sports statistics I've ever seen:
The Spurs led for 72% of the NBA Finals. They lost in five games.

More than a thousand Scotland supporters hired a fleet of yellow school buses to take them to Boston Stadium for the World Cup on Saturday.
It started as a novel way to save money on transport, but the yellow school bus has become a symbol of the Tartan Army.

My wife and I were at the game. Still canโt believe it went out of the stadium! #stlcards #oneshiningmoment

#OTD 1960 - Mike Laga was born in Ridgewood, NJ.
Laga became the first player to hit a ball out of Busch Stadium II.
It was a foul ball, but still an impressive feat that was never duplicated.

A spine tingling rendition of Flower of Scotland being belted out by The Tartan Army, before their first World Cup Finals game in 28 years. A moment that many have waited a lifetime for. ๐ฅน๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟโค๏ธ

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Brad Delp, born June 12th, 1951. ๐๐๐
One of rock's greatest voices, whose soaring vocals helped make Boston a legend.
Gone, but never forgotten.

Nothing controversial about this take - itโs a fact! Bob Seger by a good margin!!

Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar and Pat Dobson, 20 game winners in 1971. Combining for an 81-31 record. It hadn't been done since the 1920 White Sox, and no team has done it since and likely never will.

St. Rita finally has its baseball state championship.
The Mustangs won the wildest title game in state history today.
โThe only thing I can compare [this game] to is the Cubsโ Game 7 of the World Series [in 2016]" - St. Rita senior Colin Quinn.

Ya think he likes it here? Trey Paige just hit his fourth home run in his last seven games at Route 66 Stadium.
