Rod deserves this so much, I truly do hope he becomes a Hall of Famer!
Proud of this team.
This was an amazing cup this year. CONGRATS CAROLINE man you played like the champs you now are.
“We will get to this goalie”
NARRATOR: They did not, in fact, get to this goalie.
So much of my life has been devoted to this team, man. We hurt when they hurt. The 9 years of no playoffs. The frugal years. Then Tom Dundon and Rod changed the culture completely and we still got SWEPT 3 times in the ECF and felt like it may never happen; But like Hurricanes legend Jordan Staal screams at the beginning of this video, WE DID IT, BABY!!!!
The central division died to bring you this
I just wanted to see my hero Carter Hart lift the cup
The Energy just even from reading opening lineups in the lockers is so much different.
This was a fun series. I wanted Canes to win but I also wanted Mitch to win as well.
Didn't realize Ehlers opened and closed the scoring of the series. Super cool.
CAROLINE PRIDE 🖤❤ loved this! what a game, they have worked SO hard for this 👏🌪 The energy outside of Lenovo center as they won was insane
I would go to war for Brindy… what a legend… needs 2 statues for him at lenovo 😂😂 player and coach
