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.
Carolina and New York had a combined 84.2% win percentage this postseason, tied for the best combined win percentage of Stanley Cup/NBA champions ๐ณ
In 1949, the Toronto Maple Leafs went 8-1 in the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Minneapolis Lakers went 8-2 in the BAA playoffs.
The Carolina Hurricanes: 16-3 in the playoffs, swept two rounds, won a round in 5, won a round in 6, team captain won MVP
The New York Knicks: 16-3 in the playoffs, swept two rounds, won a round in 5, won a round in 6, team captain won MVP
For the first time since 1973, the Knicks are NBA CHAMPIONS ๐
The 53-year gap between championships is the longest in NBA history!
The wait is over, @nyknicks ๐
