“I can’t wait to have a couple of beers with the boys.” -@ASvechnikov_37
SAME!

[Evan - Tar Heel Blog and Canes Country @EvanTHB]

The @Canes ended the 2025-2026 @NHL season the exact same way they ended the games of so many other teams this season. Total buy-in by the team. Suffocating defense and great positioning. Timely saves. Advantageous offense. Relentless on the forecheck. @CanesCountry

[Evan - Tar Heel Blog and Canes Country @EvanTHB]

“20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration!” The @Canes are, once again, @StanleyCup Champions!

The @Canes can win the #StanleyCup tonight in Las Vegas. Previewing Game 6: https://t.co/NffAw4JVjG @CanesCountry

During #SCF Game 4, @canes captain Jordan Staal continued to lead by example. His two-goal night was historic and timely: https://t.co/rjstcBXSWY @CanesCountry

A historic rally falls short. The #Canes look ahead to Game 4: https://t.co/3cvdoT9HSL @CanesCountry

Guess who is still on the hook.

[Joe Ovies @joeovies]

Doeren off the hook if they lose now.

82 YEARS!

Carolina became the first team since the 1944 Canadiens to win a Stanley Cup Final game after trailing by multiple goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation 😳

[Evan - Tar Heel Blog and Canes Country @EvanTHB]

Lots of chatter about #SCF ticket prices. Here is my ticket stub from the 2002 Stanley Cup Final. $85 for lower level in the corner where the @Canes shoot twice. @CanesCountry

[Evan - Tar Heel Blog and Canes Country @EvanTHB]

Once again, Freddie Andersen was the foundation of a @Canes playoff victory. https://t.co/lsAKJJPAeH @CanesCountry

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

This one’s for North Carolina

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

The Carolina Hurricanes are the first team in #NHL history to reach the Stanley Cup Final with only one loss (12-1) in the first three rounds.

Since 1987 with playoff expansion four rounds x seven games:

2026 #SoundTheSiren 12-1
2012 #LAKings 12-2
1988 #Oilers 12-2

Machine.

The @Canes have won half of the games in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2006. #ChangeTheNarrative

We know the reason why it was only two.

[NHL Review @nhl_review]

Texier only given TWO MINUTES for slashing K’Andre Miller at end of 2nd period.

Clearly is a spear - which should result in an automatic match penalty

[Walt Ruff @WaltRuff]

The #Canes are just the fifth team in NHL history to have an 8-0 start to the postseason.

[Adam Gold @AGoldFan]

This might be the worst job of officiating I've seen in a long time

[Evan - Tar Heel Blog and Canes Country @EvanTHB]

.@BizNasty2point0 nailed it on the analysis during the second intermission.
