The 2018-2019 NHL season for the Carolina Hurricanes was bold. If you told people that that team would make it to the playoffs and end the drought, there would have been a few believers, but if you said they would close out round one by taking on the former Stanley Cup Champions and beating them in a game seven double overtime thriller, there would have been serious doubt.
If you doubled down and told people that this team would have gone on to sweep the next team and make it to the Eastern Conference finals, they would have laughed you out of the establishment.
