1st Stanley Cup for the Hurricanes

                                                                                         

For the very first time in history, all the Hurricanes team members including its captain had tears of joy as their names will be going on hockey's most well-regarded trophy for the first time.

Goalkeeper Ward stopped practically everything that came his way, finishing off brilliantly the playoffs with a firm performance in Game 7. The Hurricanes skated away with their first Stanley Cup title, beating Edmonton 3-1 in the winner-take-all chapter ending last Monday night.

Ward, who is the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the most valuable player in the playoffs, wasn't even Carolina's No. 1 goalie at the beginning of the post-season, but the 22-year-old rookie was asked to become part of the team when Martin Gerber struggled in an opening round against Montreal.

Both teams gave an interesting combat through many action moments coming from all players involved. We can all rest assure, we saw great hockey players doing their best on the ice field.
