Barrasso Behind The Bench

He played for 18 seasons and won two cups, both with the Pens. Now Tom Barrasso is back in the realm of hockey, assuming the role of goalie coach for the Carolina Hurricanes circuit. The job not only puts him at the helm for the Hurricanes' goalies, but also for the AHL and ECHL affiliates.

Barrasso retired in in 2003, after a stint with Toronto and St. Louis. He will of course be best remembered for his role in the Penguins' victory in both 1991 and 1992 Stanley Cups. He's ranked 13th amongst goalies on the all time great list, with a goals-against average of 3.24 with 38 shutouts in 777 games. His career wins reach the 369 mark.

Outside of the NHL and beyond his two Stanley Cups, Barrasso also helped lead the US National team to a silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
