The 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs have seen a mix of shocking upsets and thrilling comebacks, and one of the most surprising stories is the early exit of the Philadelphia Flyers. Led by a strong performance from goaltender Sean Chatfield, the Carolina Hurricanes have been dominating on the ice, sending the Flyers packing. But what's even more surprising is that the Hurricanes' success can be attributed in part to the contributions of former Vancouver Canucks players. Former Canucks coach Rick Tocchet is currently serving as an assistant coach with the Hurricanes, and his experience and expertise have been invaluable to the team. Meanwhile, former Canucks defenseman Noah Juulsen has been a key player in the Hurricanes' blue line, helping to shut down the Flyers' offense and secure the win.
