2026 - Rod Brind'Amour wins a Stanley Cup for the Hurricanes as the coach
The only two Stanley Cup wins in the Canes' history.
I believe it's Bussi's net until he loses--and if he loses 1-0 tonight with 33 saves, it might still might be his net for Game 6. The dude went 31-6-2 in the regular season. NHL story of the year. Disney stuff.
I am fully on board with Staal for Smythe but, could you imagine how insane it would be if Logan Stankoven (current canes favorite) wins it?
The guy that was in the 2nd Mikko trade who was packaged with multiple firsts.
Eric Tulsky getting a playoff goal scorer and playoff MVP in the end after originally going out and seeking that type of player in the original deal for Mikko.
Oh and he plays center now which the guy you originally had did not and you desperately needed a 2C.
Might be the greatest hockey trade of all time.
Jim Valvano taught us to enjoy life and to cherish every moment.
As we continue this journey, we’re reminded that the Stanley Cup Final is about more than hockey. It’s about people, purpose, sacrifice, and appreciating the moments that bring us together.
Shayne Gostisbehere was asked at Media Day what it's like seeing the city come alive for the #Canes during the playoffs.
Fans will love his response.
“The city’s always alive for us, to be honest. It’s not just the playoffs. Throughout the whole season, they’ve been behind us. They’re called the Caniacs for a reason.
It’s definitely cool to see the extra boost, for sure, and all the watch parties around town, and what you see on social media. It’s to be expected here, because I know they love hockey, and people from here know that. I don’t know if people from outside [of here] do, but people from here get it.”
Hysterical.
Rod Brind'Amour said he didn't really have any input on the team not touching the trophy.
Then, he told on himself. 😅
"I had a couple of guys ask me what I thought, and I said, 'You do what you want.. but don't touch it.'"
