Carolina Hurricanes Raised a Banner & Secured a Point to Begin the Title Defense

The Carolina Hurricanes began their title defense on Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers. Before the game began, they celebrated with the Stanley Cup one more time, and then raised the 2026 Stanley Cup banner. What stood out in the game overall? On the Wednesday Edition of Locked On Hurricanes, Zach begins the show by sharing his thoughts on Brandon Bussi standing on his head the whole night. Even with the Forlsing goal with 4.6 seconds left in the game, Bussi was by far the best player on the ice for the Hurricanes. There was not much more he could do with a game that had only one goal. Secondly, Zach shares his thoughts on the penalty kill going 7-for-7 on the night, in which it seemed special teams were going to be a huge factor. While it's tough to get a flow going 5v5, at least the penalty kill looked locked in from the jump. Finally, Zach concludes the show by sharing his thoughts on the game as a whole, especially the pregame celebrations. How much did it mean to see Jordan Staal skate with the Stanley Cup to center ice before the banner was raised? What does it mean that the bow has finally been made on the 2025-26 season? All of that and more on the latest edition of Locked On Hurricanes.
