The Stanley Cup Final is here, and broadcast executives across the continent are crying in their beds. Market size, Sun Belt, blah blah blah. That’s their problem, not yours. The Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights are two well-built hockey teams with high-end players throughout their lineups, and each has spent the last seven weeks laying their conferences to waste. They deserve to be in this spot, and if you care enough to read this, they’ve earned your attention. We’re getting a great on-paper matchup. Let’s try to enjoy it. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7320794/2026/05/31/carolina-hurricanes-vegas-golden-knights-2026-nhl-stanley-cup-final-preview/?unlocked_article_code=1.mlA.QzA0.Z85BgPVFVbgD&source=athletic_user_shared_gift_article_copylink&smid=url-share-ta submitted by /u/TheAthletic [link] [comments]
