Carolina GM With Message To Fans, Organization
The Carolina Hurricanes' season came to an end Wednesday night, as the team fell to the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final. Despite the result, it was still overall a successful campaign for the Canes in their first year under new general manager Eric Tulsky. Following the team's elimination, Tulsky took to X with a message for the fanbase. "This has been a remarkable season, and I want to take a minute to thank everyone who helped make it special. First and foremost, that means the fans." "The passion you show is incredible. You show up hours before the game to start the party, and when the game starts, it ramps up even more. The players go all-out every shift, but they get to go to the bench between shifts; you bring the energy nonstop for 60 minutes. Heck, some of you even come to the airport at 1 AM to cheer our return after a road game. I can't tell you how much your support means to us." Tulsky also had some positive words on the players as well as all the members of the organization who each play a role in making the season possible. "From the outside, you may not see what an incredible effort goes into making this all possible. You see the effort the players put in on the ice, but should know how hard they work on everything from fitness to nutrition to sleep to optimize their performance." "You know our games are fun, but should know how hard our game ops crew works to keep the arena buzzing, how hard our sales staff works to keep it full, how hard our arena ops crew works to keep the experience smooth. From an equipment manager preparing gear at 6 AM to a team services person working at midnight to find the best travel options for a call-up, from a chef doing prep at 6 AM to a development coach going over prospect video at midnight, the effort is tremendous." Finally, Tulsky ended his thread with a look toward the future. The Hurricanes are positioned very well with the majority of their core locked into team friendly deals, a talented pipeline and a ton of upcoming cap space. "It obviously did not get us to the result we want yet. But we are building toward it; this organization is special, and I want to sincerely thank all of you for your part in that."

Florida Panthers sign Canadian singer Michael Buble 'I remember a few years ago, it felt like such an accomplishment from where we were at one point,' forward Matthew Tkachuk said, adding: 'It's all business and we've got a bigger goal in mind.' The Panthers closed out the Carolina Hurricanes in five games Wednesday night with a 5-3 victory in the Eastern Conference final, pushing ahead for good when Carter Verhaeghe broke a tie off a feed from Aleksander Barkov with 7:39 left. Florida beat the Hurricanes in the Eastern final for the second time in three seasons.

Photo by Jared C. Tilton / Getty Images Sam Bennett added an empty-net goal with 54 seconds left by skating down a loose puck straight out of the penalty box after Florida had held up against a critical late power play for the Hurricanes. That capped a wild night that saw the Hurricanes jump to a 2-0 lead by capitalizing on giveaways, and Florida answer with three second-period goals, only to see Carolina's Seth Jarvis beat Bobrovsky midway through the third to tie it at 3. 'That was all the elements that make our sport great,' Florida coach Paul Maurice said. 'They're all over us. And we're serving up pizzas and we don't look like we should've made the playoffs, and then the next thing you know we look pretty good.' Evan Rodrigues #17 of the Florida Panthers celebrates with Sam Bennett #9 after scoring a goal against the Carolina Hurricanes during the second period in Game Five of the Eastern Conference Final of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Lenovo Center on May 28, 2025 in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Some Hurricanes fans remained defiant, offering scattered 'Let's go, Oilers!' chants. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The angst is appropriate considering how Florida has now twice ended Carolina's push to its first Cup Final since winning the franchise's lone title in 2006 when now-coach Rod Brind'Amour was captain. Florida had won the first three games of this series but lost 3-0 at home Monday night as the Hurricanes averted a second straight sweep against Florida. But by the final horn Wednesday, the Panthers had won all three games in Raleigh in the series, pushed their road winning streak in these playoffs to five games and earned an eighth postseason road win overall.

Photo by Jared C. Tilton / Getty Images 'They're a great team and it's obvious the last couple of years, they're the standard, obviously,' Brind'Amour said. 'I thought our guy battled really hard all series.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Tkachuk, Evan Rodrigues and Anton Lundell scored on consecutive shots during Florida's second-period flurry — two of those coming in a 30-second span — while Bobrovsky finished with 20 saves. Barkov's assist on Verhaeghe's winner also stood out as its own terrific individual effort. Florida's captain was jostling with Carolina's Dmitry Orlov in a battle near the boards on the left side when he turned toward the crease, stepped inside of Eric Robinson and sent the puck over to Verhaeghe for the finish that silenced a Hurricanes home crowd in full-throated roar after Jarvis' tying score.

Photo by Chris Seward / AP 'He took on one guy, then two guys and then gave the puck to me with a pretty open net,' Verhaeghe said. 'So it was an unbelievable play by Barky at a critical time.'

Sebastian Aho scored twice in the first period for Carolina, both on neutral-zone giveaways — the first being one from Gustav Forsling that hit Aho in stride for a a breakaway chance that ended up in the net. Aho added another off a giveaway from Niko Mikkola with little more than a minute left in the first for a 2-0 lead. Mitch Marner's three-word response to Leafs loss against Panthers Carolina has won at least one postseason series in its current run of seven straight playoff appearances, though three have now ended in the Eastern final. Two of those had ended in sweeps in a losing conference-final losing streak that reached 15 games _ dating to sweeps in 2009, 2019 and the 2023 first tilt with the Panthers — before Monday's Game 4 win.
