Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour keeps team focused despite missing key players to injury
Rod Brind’Amour wouldn’t mind seeing his Carolina Hurricanes coast into the playoffs.
“We can’t afford to lose a game because New Jersey’s not losing,” Brind’Amour, the team’s head coach, said recently. “It’s definitely been a stressful year that way because you feel like you have to win every night.The Hurricanes beat the hard-charging New York Rangers – another division foe – 3-2 at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, while the Devils fell 2-1 in overtime to the Minnesota Wild at home.
Off-season acquisition Max Pacioretty has missed almost the entire campaign with a pair of Achilles injuries. He returned from surgery on his damaged right tendon in early January, but suffered a second tear just two weeks later. “You gotta move on. The only people we feel sorry for are the guys that are missing. Would have been two huge pieces for us, but they’re not here.”“We’ve done a good job of not only building as a team chemistry-wise, but dealing with adversity,” he said. “We’re going to continue to do well because we’re such a tight group.”
“Phenomenal,” Brind’Amour said. “Knew he was a great player, but just to see how he prepares and his willingness to get better every day it’s all about winning.”“He’s been unbelievable, especially for me as a young guy having someone to look up to,” Jarvis said. “He brings a lot of fun and enjoyment. Seeing someone at 37, 38 years old enjoying the game that much makes it easy for everybody.”
