In the mid-2010s, during the height of the Canes' struggles, the team was for sale, and there seemed to be some smoke about a move before a deal went through.

Without a player that breaks the bank, the Canes have assembled as efficient a team as there is in the league, both on the ice and against the salary cap.

Ahead of their return to Finland, we're remembering the Hurricanes' last trip abroad in 2010, featuring a chaotic preseason tilt and two big wins over the Wild.

Beginning our month-long journey through every playoff series, we take a look at some bad times for the Canes in the postseason, all coming in the third round.

Continuing with our ranking of every series in team history, we travel all the way back to the early 2000s to discuss the first of many bouts with New Jersey.

Taking place in August 2020 in neither Boston nor Raleigh, the Canes and the Bruins reunited one year after their lopsided tilt in the conference finals.

There are few series in the Canes' history that hurt to relive as much as this clash with the Rangers, especially with how differently it started and ended.

The division champs and the defending champs clashed in the second round of an odd 2021 campaign, giving us a tight series where goaltending was the key.

For the third time in four years, the Canes failed to get out of the second round, losing to the Rangers in a series that felt much tighter than 2022's clash.

In just their second season since relocation, the Canes met a familiar face from the Northeast, dropping the series in a tight six-game clash against Boston.
