Plenty of people are in the market
for some new Hurricanes merchandise after the team’s victory over Montreal in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final on
Friday.
Just one day after the historic
win, Canes fans flocked to the Carolina Pro Shop at Lenovo Center, grabbing
some game-day essentials.
Some fans told WRAL News they’ve
been waiting years for this moment and are stocking up for their family, too.
“To finally be back in the Stanley Cup finals is like a
dream come true so we had to immediately come over and pick up some new merch,” Megan Boland said.
Megan and Erin Boland made sure to grab something for family, too.
“Our mom lives in western North
Carolina, so we’re getting her order over the phone,” Erin Boland said.
With this being the Canes’ first
time in 20 years advancing to the Stanley Cup Final, fans are eager to get some
new items.
Tom Hurley recounted the moment the Hurricanes won the Cup Final in 2006. He expects the same excitement going into the Stanley Cup Final this week.
“With each victory the craziness will go up,” he said.
