Paul Bissonnette wants a statue of Ros Brind'Amour if the Carolina Hurricanes win the 2023 Stanley Cup

On a recent episode of the popular "Spittin' Chiclets" podcast, Paul Bissonnette expressed his belief in Rod Brind'Amour.

He said if the Carolina Hurricanes were to win the Stanley Cup with their current lineup, head coach Rod Brind'Amour should be immortalized with a statue outside the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Bissonnette commended Brind'Amour's exceptional leadership both as a player and now as a coach. He stated that his impact on the franchise transcends traditional accolades.

Paul Bissonnette said:

"If Carolina can somehow win the Stanley Cup with this lineup, I feel like, with Brind'Amour doing it as a captain and doing it as a coach, I don't care if he gets inside the Hall of Fame. He should have a statue outside that arena."

Brid'Amour and the Carolina Hurricanes are up against the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Game 1 between both teams was a thriller that went into almost seven periods (4OTs). The Florida Panthers beat the Hurricanes 3-2 in (4OTs) to lead the series 1-0.

Matthew Tkachuk scored the winning goal for the Panthers with just 13 seconds remaining at the end of the fourth overtime. This is the second Conference Finals appearance for Brid'Amour as the head coach and the team is determined to win their first Stanley Cup title since 2006.
