JIM RUTHERFORD 3-TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMP

MIKE SULLIVAN

FIRST AMERICAN-BORN COACH TO WIN THE STANLEY CUP TWICE

In June of 2016, Jim Rutherford became the first GM since the 1967 NHL Expansion to manage multiple teams to Stanley Cup championships when the Penguins beat the San Jose Sharks.

The Penguins victory against Nashville in 2017 made Rutherford one of just seven general managers since ’67 to win three Stanley Cups. He also won a Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006.

By guiding the Penguins to a Stanley Cup championship in 2017, Mike Sullivan became the first American-born coach in NHL history to win multiple Stanley Cups.

He defeated fellow U.S.-born bench boss Peter Laviolette in the first-ever Cup Final featuring two Americans behind the bench. Sullivan became the second head coach to win Stanley Cups in his first two years behind the bench with a team, joining Montreal’s Toe Blake.

General Managers to win 3 Stanley Cups since 1967-68:

Crosby is just the third player in NHL history to win back-to-back Conn Smythe Trophies, joining Lemieux and Philadelphia’s Bernie Parent (1974 and ‘75).

Crosby is the sixth player in NHL history to win two or more Conn Smythe Trophies, joining, Lemieux, Parent, Wayne Gretzky, Patrick Roy and Bobby Orr. Crosby and Gretzky are the only players in NHL history to captain teams to three or more Stanley Cups AND win the Conn Smythe Trophy twice.
