Hurricanes Will Win the Stanley Cup
This won’t sit well with the more superstitious among us. As Michael Scott once said, “I’m not superstitious. I’m just a little-stitious.” Wise words indeed, as I am traditionally only a little-stitious, despite having been a goaltender for the better part of two decades. Call me crazy, but superstition has never really been something I’ve concerned myself with. That being said, proceed with caution, Caniacs.
Building on last season, I can see no other destination for the Hurricanes than Lord Stanley’s Cup. If the Canes can continue their upward momentum, and carry last season’s success into the 2019-20 season, I have no doubt that, in a year’s time, we will see our Hurricanes hoisting the best trophy in all of sports.

This past season has been the best season I can recall in recent memory. The Canes seemed to be putting together yet another run-of-the-mill season of mediocrity. Just when a lot of us were ready to tuck into another season of disappointment, the Hurricanes surprised all of us and blew away the majority of the league for the last few months of the season and postseason.

Like I’ve said countless times: we have a lot to look forward to, Caniacs. Next season is going to be a doozy, and I am more than excited to yet again be a part of it and witness it firsthand. The Bunch of Jerks may not have gone as far as we wanted, but they still went further this past season than in the previous 9 seasons past. October can’t come fast enough.
