Need a player to root for? Pavelski, Burns, Giordano among veterans who haven't won the Stanley Cup

Hindustan Times  

Joe Pavelski and Brent Burns made the playoffs seven times together as teammates in San Jose, reaching the conference finals and getting all the way to the Stanley Cup Final in 2016 under Peter DeBoer. Pavelski and Ryan Suter are now teammates playing for DeBoer all over again, now with Dallas, Parise, after several years alongside Suter in Minnesota, is now with rival Colorado and Burns is the No. Instead, Parise joined a contender that could again ride MVP front-runner Nathan MacKinnon and Norris Trophy candidate Cale Makar to a championship, which would be the franchise's second in three years. “He knows he doesn’t have too many more kicks at it,” said coach Rod Brind'Amour, who won the Cup in his 16th season as Hurricanes captain in 2006.
