Longest Stanley Cup gap
After 14 seasons with the Hurricanes, Jordan Staal finally got to hoist the Stanley Cup with his teammates once again. Staal now holds the NHL record for the longest gap between Stanley Cup victories by a player. After the win, he spoke about the long journey to his second championship.
“I’ve learned a lot about perseverance. I mean, it’s life, and it’s been such a grind. We’ve been grinding with these guys for so long, just trying to break through and keeping at it. And my goodness, we pulled it off. I can’t describe it. Sticking with it, some guys jumped ship, but I believed in this organization. I believed in everyone in it. It’s such an amazing feeling to build something like that and then pull it off. I can’t imagine anything better,” he said.
