Post-Series Talk: The Carolina Hurricanes Win the Stanley Cup! (Defeat Vegas 4-2) (mod warning in OP)

[Sidney the Kidney]

Congrats to Carolina. They were the best TEAM this playoffs, with the emphasis on playing as a cohesive unit game in, game out.

 

[CashMash]

Good night, guys

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

This Canes team earned this win as much or more than any other in recent memory. Completely wore out every opponent.

Steady Freddie should be recognized for what he did this playoffs Bussi getting all the spot light.

Freddie is a UFA...there's No Freddie...its going be Kochetkov,Frolov,Mifttakhov and Khasheyev for the next 15 years or so

Canes would not be in the finals without Andersen.

Who would have beaten them? Seriously...

 

[93gilmour93]

With that said, hopefully we never see Vegas in the Finals again from here on out

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Congrats Carolina. Seems like a well-run organization, stable, they play hard. Way to go!

Taylor Hall has grown up a lot. Didn't even skate himself into getting blown up very often this postseason.

Was rooting for Vegas for another 1st but I'm not sour at all the Canes won. Well run small market team that built through depth and drafting and a culture of being greater than the sum of their parts. No diva superstars that don't play defense, no buying your team being a top destination, no fluke run either this took a while to put together. Another cup win for a team with a cutting edge analytics dept as well, something to note.

Nicky Ehlers is a champion now good for him congrats.

Good ol' Thunder Bay boys

 

[Hank Plank]

Brandons Bussi is either the name of a Latvian goon or a very naughty film

Why not both?

 

[BagHead]

Congrats Canes fans. If it had to be anyone, you were one of the ones it could be.

But seriously, I'm happy for you. Especially you ones under... let's say 25, given how long it takes people to develop the ability to remember things long-term.

Congrats Canes !!! Very happy for you guys!

I think he should be recognized as a very good goalie who crumbled under pressure.

He will be recognized as a Stanley Cup Champion who had a very good playoffs.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Congrats Carolina. Seems like a well-run organization, stable, they play hard. Way to go!

And they were 12 million under the cap this year. They could still add legit talent for next year if they wanted to.

Cute comic strip cameos cancelled!

 

[notbias]

He will be recognized as a Stanley Cup Champion who had a very good playoffs.

And folded under pressure.

I agree with all of this.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Cute comic strip cameos cancelled!

Nuh uh!!!!

I will live on!!!!

 

[ACC1224]

Well deserved. So well coached, absolute definition of a team win.

 

[TheBeard]

OK, but exactly *how* drunk?

Who drinks?

 

[Vukotal Recall]

And they were 12 million under the cap this year. They could still add legit talent for next year if they wanted to.

With that, the cap rising, KK buyout, free agents leaving and good prospects already in the pipeline, they're gonna be contenders for years

 

[Ninety7]

Thank you canes

f*** vegas

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

It was the lesser of the 2 evils for me but I hate Vegas for thinking they could buy their way like the Yankees did for all those years... not to put down the Hurricanes...congrats
