Carolina and St. Louis are living in a fairytale
Dom Luszczyszyn, a hockey analyst for The Athletic, reminded us of the Carolina Hurricanes and St. Louis Blues’ ranking from the start of 2019 when they were the 23rd and 31st teams in the NHL but managed to reach the conference finals.
NHL Standings as of January 2, 2019
23. Carolina
31. St. Louis
Both make it to the conference finals. Unreal.
