“When the empty-net goal went in, then that was the first time I’ve had true happiness in a couple months.”
On Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon, whose nerves usually keep him from enjoying games, seeing the fulfillment of his vision:

Proud and grateful to have been a part of the @NHLdotcom team on another Stanley Cup Playoff run. Lots of great stuff on our site after the Hurricanes’ win last night, with more to come.

lots of GMs waking up wanting to copy Eric Tulsky’s model for the Hurricanes, only to find out he patented it

The Carolina Hurricanes have won the Stanley Cup.
Twenty years after he hoisted the Cup as the Hurricanes captain, Rod Brind'Amour will hoist it as their coach.
Twenty years after his brother Eric hoisted it with the Hurricanes, Jordan Staal will do the same.

The Hurricanes were dominant. They went 16-3 in the playoffs. That's the second-best record since the NHL went to four best-of-7 series in 1987, after the 16-2 Oilers in 1988.

Really enjoyed writing and reporting this story. Jalen is a great story.
It's been quite a journey to the cusp of a #StanleyCup for Jalen Chatfield, who signed with the Hurricanes as a free agent in 2021-22.
📺: @Canes vs. @GoldenKnights Game 6 Sunday at 8p ET on ABC, @espn, and @Sportsnet
More on Chatfield's journey ⤵️

With reflections from Robinson, Lou Lamoriello, Martin Brodeur, Ken Daneyko, Bobby Holik and Scott Gomez from the 2000 Devils' run and the similarities and differences from the Golden Knights' situation with Tortorella.

“He's done a pretty masterful job back there."
Larry Robinson can appreciate better than anyone what John Tortorella has done with the Golden Knights. Robinson took over the Devils with 8 games left in 2000 and guided them to the Cup.

The Hurricanes are one win from the Stanley Cup.
“We’re ready for it. This team has been working all year for moments like these and especially this moment.”
