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

[Jocke1]

Now that's a team. Well done, guys.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Buy their way?

They operate under the same cap as all the ither 31 teams.

Sure they did and they would like to sell everyone beach front property for cents on the dollar

 

[Mother Pucker]

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

Well, everything was going along quite fine for him until a certain, very personal tragic event occurred recently. I think a little grace and slack is in order here because of that.

 

[FinPanda]

Anyone see that first thing Aho did after they won was to hug Rod behind the bench?

Marner refused a trade to Carolina.

Karma says hello!!!!

He put up a .950 the day after that... it started going bad in the finals when the pressure was on.

[Enniskillen]

It’s ironic to see team he refused to get traded to kicking his ass in the finals. And media didn’t even mention this angle once lol. And perfect deflection goal in -3 game is a chef’s kiss.

Yup! Imagine refusing to waive for a contending team that wanted you, only to lose to them in the cup finals a year later. Ouch!

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Especially given the cap is going up a shot ton itself.

I.imagone they'll get interest from a few tip UFA looking for a legit contender.

And isn't NC a no state income tax state?

Man, I wish.

 

[Pancakes]

I remember Pacific fans trying to tell me the Metro was the worst division in hockey.

 

[rielledup]

These post playoff montages cbc does always brings a tear, they do a great job

And watch them skate around your home rink with the cup

 

[HavingACow4Cowan]

Congrats to the Hurricanes.

16-3 record in the playoffs... very impressive. It was kind of an easy path to the Cup Final, but they didn't screw around and they took care of business fast in the first three rounds. They beat a good team in the Cup Final to win the Cup. Well done.

 

[red devil]

 

[The don godfather]

Leafs fans all breathing a massive sigh of relief tonight.

Agreed.

 

[Mother Pucker]

He put up a .950 the day after that... it started going bad in the finals when the pressure was on.

Well, things don't just automatically get better physically or psychologically within 24 hours. There are short and long-term effects to things as well, even more so psychologically.

 

[NMacrules]

Marner continues his big game choke job. Brutal in 5 and 6. I love it. Suck it Marner.

 

[Devonator]

Well the long suffering Canes fans finally have overcome that mountain.....I have to admit i am surprised but you guys looked really good through out the playoffs.....it will be interesting if they can repeat....they are not that old of a team so it is possible.....

 

[viper0220]

Ehlers getting emotional when asked about the Jets and his time there and how they weren't able to win the Cup and thanking them for giving him a chance.

Is there a video? Thanks in advance.

 

[beach]

Congrats Caniacs!!

 

[Borsig]

In before People say vegas was easy, avs would have beat us, etc etc etc.

Best story of this is our amazing trash can goalie with the shutout and SV% over .900 in the final. Or 37 year old Staal Smythe. Or maybe PK Subban being wrong, yet again.....

 

[viper0220]

Someone should have asked him.

 

[Breakers]

I guarantee Eichel was making vacation plans during the finals


His body language was horrific as the series went on.

 

[Antropovsky]

Marner continues his big game choke job. Brutal in 5 and 6. I love it. Suck it Marner.

Vegas 5v5 stats with Marner on the ice:

0 shots for
8 shots against

0 gf
2 ga

Expected gf relative-49%

His advanced stats are also mostly the worst on his team this game. And by a large margin in many categories.

And Vegas got him for 12 million, would've cost 14+ million for the Leafs to resign him.
