More than two decades ago, Jarred Tinordi watched his father take the ice for his second run at a Stanley Cup as a member of the Washington Capitals. Donning their flying eagle look of the late ’90s, Mark Tinordi and the Caps ran into the buzzsaw known as the Detroit Red Wings, ultimately falling victim in four games in the summer of 1998.
Like his father, who also appeared in a Cup Final with the old Minnesota North Stars during the 1990-91 campaign, Jarred made a similar tour around the league. He’s on his fourth squad after GM Don Sweeney claimed him off waivers from Nashville.
