A magical run turned a 'Bunch of Jerks' into national darlings. The Hurricanes' new challenge is to make their return to relevance stick.

Joe Thornton came so close to reaching the Stanley Cup Final against his old team, but the Sharks fell to the Blues in Game 6. Almost 40, will Thornton keep pursuing Lord Stanley's cup?

The Sharks’ four goals in four minutes. The Easter Epic. Too Many Men. The hockey gods have authored plenty of dramatic Game 7s, where a legacy can be defined for better or worse.

This is the time of year when hockey crowds virtually everything else out for players who go on deep playoff runs.
