17 raised to the rafters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Brind'Amour did don the jersey before the large No. 17 banner went up to the rafters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], joining those of Ron Francis (No. 10) and Glen Wesley (No. 2). Brind'Amour and his family then watched the banner slowly go up in the north end of the RBC Center.
There was no shortage of No. 17 jerseys. Both the Canes and Flyers players were wearing No. 17 in his honor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at the ceremony and during pregame warmups.
"The banner that means the most to me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that means more than an individual banner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and obviously you know what I'm talking about,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is the Stanley Cup championship,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Brind'Amour said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], looking up at the 2006 banner.
Brind'Amour thanked Canes fans for "willing us to victory" in the 2006 Stanley Cup finals against the Edmonton Oilers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], noting the faithful stood for all of Game 7.
"You were not going to let the Stanley Cup out of this building," he said.
The Stanley Cup was back in the building tonight. The crowd roared as the Cup was brought out just before the banner raising,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and while not getting his hands on it again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Brind'Amour gave it a long look,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], perhaps reflecting back to that June night in 2006 when the captain was the first to raise it over his head.
Brind'Amour thanked Flyers coach Peter Laviolette and assistant coach Kevin McCarthy, who both were behind the Canes bench in 2006. Brind'Amour noted he and Laviolette didn't see eye-to-eye when Laviolette first became coach in December 2003,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that he "helped me realize my dream."
Brind'Amour showed a bit of emotion at the end of his comments, before the banner raising,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when he noted every player reaches a time in their career when "they can't jump over the boards again and get in the fight" with his teammates. He noted four players from the 2006 team -- Eric Staal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Cam Ward,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Erik Cole and Chad LaRose -- still were playing for the Canes, saying that while he can no longer call them teammates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he can "always call them friends."
Before the ceremony,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], former Hurricanes teammate Bret Hedican and former Flyers teammates Keith Jones and Chris Therien were interviewed on the ice by Tripp Tracy, the Canes' TV analyst.
Each was asked to describe Brind'Amour in one word. Therien decided on "competitive" and Jones on "dedicated." Hedican,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a member of the 2006 Stanley Cup champs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], gave it a thought for a few seconds before saying, "Relentless."
