I am a Rangers fan, but I am also a Stars and Hurricanes fan (my Hurricanes fandom is a carryover from their Whaler days). I am happy and psyched that the Rangers won. But, I can acknowledge that this is an absolutely brutal loss for the Hurricanes and their fans. I thought that this was their best team in the Brindamour/Aho/Svech era, as they finally had healthy goaltending, and they finally took a big swing with the Guentzal trade, just to fall short once again. This series kind of reminded me last year's Hurricanes/Panthers conference final, or of the 2014 Rangers/Kings Cup Final, which is viewed by some as a '"close" five game series. I think that a good comparison for this current Canes team would be the 90's and early 00's St. Louis Blues: always a solid team, but always just good enough to get knocked out by the Red Wings, Avs, or Stars on their way to a Cup Final appearance. I think that it's an interesting offseason coming up for the Canes. It seems like they might be one piece away, but how do you get it? Do you radically remake the roster and play a different style? Or, do you stick with it, and hope that one year the bounces go your way (think the 2018 Capitals)?

[@PeteWaan]

I knew it before the season started, that Carolina would have no chance with those same goalies…they need a top 10 guy, Andersen is not even a top 20…

As a Canes fan, I can confidently say this year was their best chance. This offseason is gonna be BRUTAL for GMDW, having the Herculean task of deciding who stays and who goes. $30 million in cap space but over half the team on expired contracts. Not gonna see the Canes in the same sentence as Cup contenders for at least the next 4-5 years😢

[@mascardorama6469]

@@rcktman0127 i actually disagree . I think the important core will all stick around (aho, svech, slavin, jarvis) and they may even find themselves with upgrades at depth forward and defense in the off season with all the movement and freeing up of space. if they can get their hands on a solid number 1 goalie to pair with kochetkov i think we might see them in the playoffs again as soon as next season depending on who they can find as replacements for lost players in the off season

[@chrisminton516]

As a die-hard Rangers fan, I know better than to expect an easy ride. In fact, I'm kinda glad we didn't sweep the Canes. They've been through a lot since Game 1 of this round.
