Brind’Amour, Tortorella Took Very Different Roads To The Final

Rod Brind’Amour and John Tortorella have never really done anything the same way, and that is part of the fun here. Their paths to the Stanley Cup Final tell two very different coaching stories, with different temperaments, different methods, and the same brutal finish line. This is the kind of matchup where the backstory matters because it explains how each bench boss got here. The contrast between them gives the Final a sharper edge before a puck even drops.
