Great article. For me, and I have been to over 400 NHL games,99.8% in the RBC, to know that hockey would work in Raleigh was several years ago before the lockout and Duke was playing UNC for the ACC tittle and about 15K showed up for the game. Now today, no one would think twice about this but then, it was a big deal.

The thing I remember the most outside of Game 7 in the 2006 SCFs was the standing ovation with the loss to NJ. #6. 2001 Playoffs, Round 1, Game 6 (4/22/01).

Many people had left but I had planned on staying and giving a standaing ovation to the team. Did not know 12K plus had the same idea.

Lisa, It was at home. I was there and you could feel the upper deck bouncing. Loudest I’ve ever heard the arena, but I wasn’t there for the ‘Canes Stanley Cup run, unfortunately.

What about the “No. 1 Stunna” (as the headlines read) when NCSU beat No. 1 ranked Duke? Now THAT was magic.

(It’s been a while, but that was at home wasn’t it?)

Not a hockey fan…but that game 7 was amazing! One of the best sporting events I have ever witnessed.
