The
2006 Stanley
Cup Champions are the Carolina
Hurricanes. They defeated the Edmonton
Oilers in 7 games on Monday night
to clinch the elusive title.
Brind'Amour provided inspirational
leadership for the Hurricanes, Eric
Staal amassed the most playoff points,
28, and Cam Ward became the first
rookie netminder since Patrick Roy
in 1986 to lead his team to the title.
Ward was named playoff MVP.
"'Goaltending wins you championships,
there's no mistake about it,'' said
Brind'Amour. ''We had the best goalie
in the playoffs." |
