After a surprisingly tight end to the series, the Hurricanes have come out on top of the hockey world. Their speed, toughness, and heart won the Hurricanes the first Stanley Cup in the New NHL. (Of course, speed, toughness and heart always won in the old NHL as well.) Edmonton almost pulled off the impossible but in the end, too much home ice, too much of a grind to fight back from being down 3-1, and too much Cam Ward sealed their fate.
