So far in the playoffs the Carolina Hurricanes have taken down the Stanley Cup Champions, Washington Capitals, and swept the New York Islanders to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals. They have survived a double overtime game seven after being in the hole 3-2 and going into a game six with their backs to the wall.
These feats are almost super-heroic. Like the heroes of Marvel’s cinematic universe. These Carolina Hurricanes seemed to be a team of destiny. While this season did not end inevitably with a cup and their magical playoff run crumbled to dust at the snap of a finger from their evil Villain Boston it feels that they will be coming back year after year.
