The 2026 Carolina Hurricanes run was a lot more impressive than the 2006 Carolina Hurricanes run - although same end result.

Bussi spent many seasons in the AHL looking for his spot to break through. Got his chance with the right team at the right time.

Brandon Bussi would be the second Long Island native to win the Stanley Cup as a player. Rob Scuderi was the first.

The last time the Knicks won, the Buffalo Braves existed and the Baltimore Bullets hadn’t moved into the Capital Centre yet.

Knicks end a 53 year drought. When the Rangers won in 1994, it was 54 years.

Carolina takes a 3-2 lead and is the first team not to surrender a two-goal lead.

Four multiple goal blown leads, but last two the team recovered to win. Stanley Cup becomes a best of three.

Had the Hurricanes even had average goaltending, they probably aren’t in this situation, but you can’t allow multiple goals on less than 10 shots and expect to win at this stage.

All four games in this Stanley Cup Final have seen multiple-goal leads disappear, now twice for and against each team.

Former Capital Joe Motzko had one of the easiest paths to his name on the Stanley Cup, playing just three games for the 2007 Anaheim Ducks, but one SCF game for 2:46 to qualify. He skated a total of less than 12 minutes for Anaheim, yet was immortalized.
