@NHL @Canes @GoldenKnights @Sportsnet @TVASports @CanadianTire If Carolina wins I would say Staal. If Vegas wins then Marner.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@mikemaniscalco By the end of the finals, you and Tripp are going to be Black and Blue. I guess that is brotherly love.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@NHL It was a great game. Like both coaches have said bounces and breaks will win and lose games. This bounce went to Vegas. Maybe the next will go to the Canes.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@FriedgeHNIC I think Carolina should give it a try. The have cap room, good prospects and they are going to be good for years to come.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@JayOnSC @TSN_Sports @HayesTSN Carolina should at least kick the wheels on the possibility.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@TomGulittiNHL @mikemaniscalco @TrippTracy Awesome body check!!!!!!!

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@DailyFaceoff Canes in 7. Just shows that this team isn’t going to roll over and quit. Lots of Vegas fans just jumped on the sweep and Carolina is done bandwagon. This is going to be a great series.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@Sportsnet @FriedgeHNIC Bring him to Carolina. It would be awesome to him in a Canes uniform and it would be another good Center for the Canes.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@DailyFaceoff Canes 4-2 (empty net for the 4th goal)

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@NHL @GoldenKnights @Canes @Sportsnet @TVASports Canes tie the series up.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@akannohenry @SportsCenter @PKSubban1 Canes in either 5 or 7.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@SportsCenter @PKSubban1 It is so sad that a player that I use to like and wished Carolina would have is HATING on Carolina. Going 12-1 doesn’t count to being 1 of the best teams is laughable. You play who you play and when you lose 1 game throughout the playoffs doesn’t count, sorry you are wrong.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@skateflowers98 @SportsCenter Wow that is sad. A beautiful moment and special moment that he got to share with his son. Sad that folks want to poke hate like that. Just shame.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@NHL @FDSportsbook Canes in 7

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@OG_Costanza @TSN_Sports It will not be Vegas in 4.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@TSN_Sports Canes in 7

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@espn @emilymkaplan Carolina in 7. Like Gretzky said last night, home ice will play a role in this series. However the Canes have won their last 6 on the road so that has to be considered also. Will be an amazing Finals I believe.

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.

Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.

Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.

The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.

In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.

Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.

Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.

He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Memorial service details to follow.

@AGoldFan With the new areas being built around the arena why can’t they put a location for the people to come tailgate and watch the games. Carolina Ale could sponsor it or something like that. It would be awesome to see our fans going crazy inside and out on goals.

[jason bennett @jayben626]

@Canes @canes_talk It is to bad that we can’t get a group outside like some of these other teams do. It would be awesome if we could find away to make that happen in the near future especially with the team that we have.
