5) The Captain Goes Bowling
Part of what makes the Carolina Hurricanes’ win celebrations so refreshing is the excitement of the unexpected. This celebration encapsulates that experience. As the Buffalo Sabres took the ice at PNC, they carried with them a familiar face. With a hard-fought win in hand, fans were anxiously awaiting what these players could have up their sleeves, and they were not disappointed.
The creativity, humor, and execution make this celebration great, but context makes it memorable. A win against a dominant team, confronting the success of a player in greener pastures, topped off with an awesome celebration. This night was all about wins for the Caniac faithful filling the rumbling seats.
