Hey Caniacs,

Jordan Staal here.... WE GOT IT DONE! This was a season I will never forget. THANK YOU.

I wrote this to remember it all! @PlayersTribune https://t.co/fM2Aod1okV

ESPN on ABC showed off a One Shining Moment-esque NHL montage (to "Baba O'Riley") to close out the Stanley Cup Final coverage. 🏒📺🎥🎙️ #StanleyCup #NHL

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.

Jackson Blake was an elite mid-round find by the Canes, and he took the hard road to get there

Shattuck cut him from its U16 team in favor of 4 other forwards

Now:

• 2 play D3
• 1 retired out of the NAHL
• 1 plays USPORTS

Blake just led his Stanley Cup-winning team in scoring.

How you handle adversity is everything.

Stanley Cup Champion AND great big brother. Since his sophomore year at @WMUHockey, @brandonbussi33 has worn masks featuring 🧩 and 🦋 artwork in tribute of his brother Dylan, who is on the autism spectrum.

Jordan Staal joined Wayne Gretzky as the second captain in the past 105 years to score at least six goals in a #StanleyCup Final and helped the @Canes win their second title.

Frederik Andersen and Brandon Bussi had a combined 16-3 record in the 2026 #StanleyCup Playoffs, the second-fewest losses by a Stanley Cup-winning team since 1987 (when all rounds became best-of-7), only behind the 1988 Oilers (16-2 in 18 GP).

The @Canes are your 2026 #StanleyCup champions and ousted the Golden Knights in Game 6 – just 5 days short of the 20-year anniversary of the franchise’s first championship. #NHLStats

1️⃣7️⃣ years in the making!

@Canes captain Jordan Staal is lifting the #StanleyCup for the second time in his career and did so 20 years after his brother Eric also did so for Carolina (2006).

The Conn Smythe Trophy goes to the Captain, Jordan Staal!

He becomes the oldest player ever to win the award.

[NHL Public Relations @NHLPR]

A #StanleyCup Final to remember for Jordan Staal ‼️

The 37-year-old not only captained the @Canes to their second championship but also earned his first individual NHL award – the Conn Smythe Trophy!

#NHLStats: https://t.co/b7oMOYL9fv

[NHL Public Relations @NHLPR]

The @Canes were consistent. 🏆

For the first time in 18 years, the #StanleyCup has been hoisted by a team that held a playoff spot for every gameday of an 82-game season.

Category 5 notes before Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final between the Hurricanes and Golden Knights:
• Andersen returns to full practice
• Walker driving Carolina’s physicality
• Staal’s Conn Smythe case
• At the dot
• Distractions abound
