April 18 ... Jordan Staal punches Brady Tkachuk in the face.
June 20 ... 150,000 fans pour into downtown Raleigh to celebrate a world championship.
Two crazy, unforgettable months.
The #Canes became the first Stanley Cup-winning team in 41 years to use multiple starting goaltenders during the Final.
They are just the third in the expansion era after the 1984 Oilers (Grant Fuhr & Andy Moog) and 1972 Bruins (Gerry Cheevers & Eddie Johnston).
Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jordan Staal finished 83-for-122 (68.0%) in the dot during the #StanleyCup Final, the highest face-off percentage ever recorded in a Final.
Rod Brind'Amour made a 35-pound cinder block lift a mandatory part of the Canes' workouts all season.
He called it the "Blue Collar Press."
Turns out he was making them practice lifting the Stanley Cup the whole time 🤯
