The 2009 NHL playoffs brought some great memories for Carolina Hurricanes fans: from tying and then beating the New Jersey Devils with under 2 minutes left in Game 7 of the opening round to Scott Walker‘s overtime winner in another seventh game, Caniacs were left with a lot of very fond memories.
Part of the reason those memories remain so vivid for many of us is the fact that the Hurricanes missed the dance in each of the following 9 seasons. Many nights at PNC Arena were spent looking for Rob Schneider from The Waterboy or perhaps the groundskeepers from Major League.
