Canes TV play-by-play voice Mike Maniscalco joins the guys in studio to share his perspective from calling the Stanley Cup Final, taking listeners directly onto the ice and inside the room for the chaotic, emotional moments immediately after the team hoisted the Cup.

    Carolina Hurricanes 2026 Stanley Cup Champions! Staal Earns Conn Smythe | Bussi Game 6 Shutout

    The Carolina Hurricanes are 2026 Stanley Cup Champions! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio break down a historic Game 6 win as Rod Brind'Amour comes full circle 20 years later. OG SUMMER POP UP SHOP: http://ogtrianglemediashop.com/ The drought is over. Twenty years after Rod Brind'Amour captained the Carolina Hurricanes to their first title in 2006, he has led them back to the mountain top as head coach. Broadcasting live from a state of absolute euphoria from The Rialto immediately following the final horn of Game 6, OG After Dark processes the Carolina Hurricanes’ 2026 Stanley Cup Championship. The story of the clincher was the relentless production of the Hall-Stankoven-Blake line, which capped off a historic playoff run with Taylor Hall lighting the lamp in the first and Jackson Blake sealing the momentum in the second. But the emotional heart of this run remains Brandon Bussi. A journeyman goalie who entered Game 3 in relief and never looked back, Bussi delivered a legendary performance in Game 6 to etch his name into Hurricanes lore forever. We dive into the legacy of Rod Brind'Amour, what this second title means for the city of Raleigh and North Carolina sports overall, and wrap it up with an extended edition of the OG Sports Phone to hear from a fan base 20 years in the making.

    OG Mailbag: Sorsby Gambling Injunction | NC State & LSU Still Fighting Over Wade | Why Is Jordon FOIA-ing UNC? | Scheyer To NBA Rumors? | Is Ovies Going To Vegas?

    The Stanley Cup Final isn't the only thing catching fire. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio clear out the OG Mailbag to tackle the Sorsby NCAA collapse, NC State vs LSU, and a bizarre UNC FOIA situation. OG SUMMER POP UP SHOP: http://ogtrianglemediashop.com/ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Shaping young minds 04:00 - Ovies going to Vegas? 09:00 - Sorsby drama 24:00 - NC State vs. LSU 37:00 - Jordon's "BANiversary" 42:00 - Scheyer NBA rumors 47:00 - World Cup? The Stanley Cup Final has completely dominated the Triangle, but while the Hurricanes fight for hockey immortality, the rest of the sports world has dissolved into absolute "take brain" on a bunch of other news. The guys lead off with Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby hitting critical mass this week following a shocking court injunction. Despite admitting to placing thousands of sports wagers — including bets on his own team while at Indiana — the court order allows Sorsby to play this season, completely freezing the NCAA's eligibility ban. Joe and Joe parse the hyperbole from reality: Is there a legitimate, structural solution to pull college football out of this Wild West era, or do the sport's central power brokers actively prefer the lawless landscape? Speaking of major athletic department drama, a legal battle is quietly brewing between Raleigh and Baton Rouge. NC State is officially investigating potential claims against LSU over the messy, rapid departure of men's basketball coach Will Wade. Is there actual legal recourse regarding whether LSU improperly induced Wade to breach his contract, or is Wolfpack leadership simply trying to save face over a poorly negotiated buyout structure in the first place? Plus, the guys dive into a bizarre public-records side hustle in Chapel Hill. Jordon Hudson, girlfriend of Tar Heels head football coach Bill Belichick, has been sending a barrage of intense FOIA requests to top UNC administrators regarding internal communications and "banned" rumors. Why is she turning a public-records microscope on the very institution that employs her partner, and how much of a distraction does this become for Belichick's long-term future? We wrap things up by looking at the speculative whispers connecting Duke's Jon Scheyer to the NBA, and empty out the voicemail machine on the OG Sports Phone!

    HURRICANES ONE WIN AWAY! Svechnikov & Aho break through, Staal makes history | 3-2 Lead Over Vegas

    The Carolina Hurricanes are exactly one win away from sports immortality! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio break down a historic 4-2 Game 5 masterpiece as Raleigh explodes... OG SUMMER POP UP SHOP: http://ogtrianglemediashop.com/ Broadcasting live from a completely unhinged, electric Lenovo Center immediately following the final horn of Game 5, OG After Dark breaks down a dominant 4-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights to take a commanding 3-2 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final. The storybook run began right out of the gate with the captain. Jordan Staal got Raleigh on the board first, netting his staggering 6th goal in the first 5 games of this Final series — a historic feat that hasn't been accomplished in the NHL since 1956. But the true magic belonged to a spectacular second-period surge where the Hurricanes completely exercised their past demons and put the absolute hammer down on Vegas. Andrei Svechnikov broke a tense 1-1 tie with a lethal power-play sniper shot, followed by Sebastian Aho finally cracking Carter Hart to push the lead to 3-1. Svechnikov then put the definitive exclamation point on the night in the third period, lighting the lamp for his second power-play goal of the evening to ultimately seal the deal. And how about Brandon Bussi!? He continued ice-cold composure in the crease, and how this franchise is now just 60 minutes away from hoisting the silver polish exactly 20 years after their iconic 2006 championship.

    HURRICANES WIN GAME 4! Jordan Staal & Bussi Shock Vegas to Tie Stanley Cup Final

    The Stanley Cup Final is tied 2-2! Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio break down a massive 5-3 Game 4 win as Jordan Staal and Brandon Bussi protect home ice for the Hurricanes. OG SUMMER POP UP SHOP: http://ogtrianglemediashop.com/ The Stanley Cup Final is officially tied up at 2-2! OG After Dark is live following an absolute classic Game 4. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour made the bold strategic decision to start Brandon Bussi in net while designating veteran Freddie Andersen as the EBUG. Bussi held the line and helped the Hurricanes survive another heavy second-period push from Vegas that momentarily tied the game at 3-3. But the night belonged to the captain. Jordan Staal continued his historic, legendary Cup run, lighting the lamp twice to push his total to a staggering 5 goals in 4 games. His second tally restored a 4-3 lead, setting the stage for Nikolaj Ehlers to slide home a thrilling, ice-cold empty-net goal to cement the 5-3 final scoreline. Canes play-by-play voice Mike Maniscalco reports live from Vegas, while Luke DeCock joins later in the show. We wrap it up by opening the floodgates on the OG Sports Phone to celebrate an unforgettable night of hockey with a loud, ecstatic late-night Triangle fan base...

    Will Brind'Amour Start Bussi Over Andersen? | UNC Bound For CWS | New Investor Enters MLB Raleigh Chat | Vegas Debrief | 06.08

    The guys are back from Las Vegas with a definitive verdict: it's time for Rod Brind'Amour to ride the bus with Brandon Bussi. Plus, UNC baseball makes the CWS and a massive MLB to Raleigh update... OG SUMMER POP UP SHOP: http://ogtrianglemediashop.com/ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 04:00 - Time to ride Bussi 21:30 - Explaining the Danhausen "Canes Curse" 35:30 - Housekeeping 43:00 - UNC to CWS 51:30 - New MLB Raleigh investor? 1:03:00 - Vegas debrief 1:28:30 - Hey Joe Fresh off the flight back from Las Vegas, Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio have had plenty of time to think about it, and they are officially ready to ride the bus with Brandon Bussi. The conversation surrounding Freddie Andersen is reaching a boiling point. While you can parse his performance in many ways, the bottom line is clear: allowing 12 goals on 65 shots so far in the Stanley Cup Final means something has to give. Rod Brind'Amour played the situation perfectly in Game 3, letting Andersen finish the second period before turning the keys over to Bussi. Given Bussi's ice-cold composure, including that penalty shot stop on Mitch Marner, he has earned the nod for Game 4. It is an incredibly high-stakes risk, but history shows that a goaltending shakeup can completely alter the direction of a Hurricanes playoff run. Plus, explaining the bizarre "wrestler curse" that currently has Caniacs sweating bullets. Then, we pivot to a massive day in local sports business and diamonds. The Tar Heels are officially heading back to the College World Series in Omaha! Meanwhile, the dream of Major League Baseball in the Triangle just got a major shot of adrenaline as a massive new investor has officially entered the MLB to Raleigh expansion sweepstakes. We wrap things up with a Vegas debrief and emptying out the voicemail box on the OG Sports Phone to hear exactly how the Triangle fan base is feeling ahead of a pivotal Game 4.
