 Just two days after winning the cup it was celebration time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Caniacs came well represented

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The building where history was made

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A local rock radio station in Raleigh bought this car to turn into a Hurricanes ride. They drove it to the away playoff games and had fans sign it. The night we won, this car was used as a celebratory whipping boy for the drunk fans.

 

 

 

 

 

 It's world-renowned color commentator from the Carolina Hurricanes, Tripp Tracy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 More Tripp Tracy with crappy NBC-17 TV coverage team

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Raleigh's sports-casting legend TOM SUITER! I'm a fan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The players begin to take their victory lap around the RBC Center

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The brains behind the whole operation, head coach Peter Laviolette

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Defenseman Aaron Ward. Now with the New York Rangers, damnit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Defenseman Frankie Kaberle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Hey, it's Kevin Elkins expressing his enthusiasm, or something

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Defenseman Bret Hedican is pumped! He's also married to figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi. Just a fun fact there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 My buddy Mike Diller looks like he's trying to jump in with Matt Cullen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The young gun and fan favorite, Eric Staal. Apparently when you win a championship you also get a hot chick to ride next to you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The veteran Mark Recchi stares into the sunset

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Fan favorite and bad-ass Mike Commodore. He's drinking a beer and I believe blowing a snot rocket into the crowd

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Erik Cole. You can break the guy's neck and STILL not keep him out of the game

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Mike Diller is drunk and my brother gets a high-five from Cole

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I believe that's Con Smythe trophy winning goalie Cam Ward. We all slapped him some skin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The parade rolls on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Assist-king Cory Stillman

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The captain of the ship and hardest working man in hockey, Rod Brind'amour

 

 

 

 

 

 Glen Wesley lifting up the cup for the city of Raleigh!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The boys on stage getting some recognition

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The fans are lovin' it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Play-by-play man Jon Forslund does the honors

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Canes and confetti! We won the cup baby!
