After a countless number of years of being over looked, the Carolina Hurricanes managed to put themselves and the city of Raleigh back on the hockey map this past season. In fact, ever since Tom Dundon took over as majority owner back in January 2018, the team has done nothing but make waves around the league.
Before this season, it seemed that for years the Hurricanes have lacked a true rival, someone to give the players just a little extra motivation whenever the two teams would meet. Luckily, with the way the last couple of months have transpired for the organization, it seems as if that is no longer the case.
