‘A lot of people talking s— I can’t wait for them to see my ring’: K’Andre Miller on winning Stanley Cup with Hurricanes
K’Andre Miller had some words for his haters following the Carolina Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup victory Sunday night after winning Game 6 of the Final over the Vegas Golden Knights.
I spoke with K’Andre Miller 1-on-1 after he won the Stanley Cup, K’Andre on if he had something to prove to himself: “100%. I had a lot of people count me out — had a lot of people talking shit…I can’t wait for them to see my ring.”
“I had a lot of people count me out, had a lot of people talking shit,” Miller told Daily Faceoff’s Jonny Lazarus during the post-game celebration. “So, I can’t wait for them to see my ring.”
Miller finished the postseason with nine assists while averaging 24:06 of ice time in 19 playoff games this spring. During his first regular season with Carolina, the 6-foot-5 blueliner had eight goals and 29 assists for 37 points, averaging 22:23 of ice time in 72 regular-season games.
“I’m just happy that I’m a Carolina Hurricane and get the opportunity to do this again next year,” he said.

“You look at this team and how it’s assembled: the coaching staff, our trainers, everybody was really pulling the same way this year,” he added. “It made it really easy coming to the rink and throwing a smile on my face and putting my best foot forward, so a lot of credit to these guys and the organization itself.”
In 440 career NHL regular-season games with the Hurricanes and New York Rangers, Miller has 44 goals and 125 assists for 169 points in six NHL seasons. He also has three goals and 18 assists for 21 points in 61 Stanley Cup Playoff games across four seasons.
Miller, 26, was taken with the No. 22 overall pick by the Rangers in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. He spent two seasons playing college hockey at the University of Wisconsin, where he scored 12 goals and added 28 assists for a total of 40 points in 62 career NCAA games.
