Stampede's tough "dawgs" capture the Clark Cup & the final 15 seconds was a perfect snapshot of title

The Happy Hour host tells the story of how the Stampede lived up to their "tough guy" image that head coach and Long Island native Ryan Cruthers crafted with several players who were cut from other teams. The Herd were 4-0 in elimination games in the playoffs. In all three series, they lost Game 3 in crushing fashion and came back to win Game 4. This time, it happened in double overtime after blowing third period leads in each of the last two games. The final 15-second sequence that seized the trophy is a perfect snapshot of the season, a sequence — with sublime play-by-play call of 20-year Voice of the Herd Jim Olander — that will go down in Stampede and Sioux Falls sports lore. The Happy Hour host does a deep dive on those 15 seconds and the heart of the champions.
