Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. Langi Gleeson dropping the ball with the Waratahs hot on attack with seven minutes left. It was anyone’s game till the end which made for gripping viewing. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. Having seen his side concede four penalties from a combined 11 feeds, along with a fair ton of psychological damage, coach Jason Holland had had quite enough, and props Xavier Numia and Tyrel Lomax were hooked in the 34th minute. Or there wasn’t, more accurately.

Jed Holloway almost set up a try for Dylan Pietsch with a barnstorming run up the middle before Perese set up his winger with an audacious offload for the Waratahs to race to a 15-0 lead in the break. The Hurricanes have overturned a 15-0 deficit to stun the Waratahs to 22-18 at Leichhardt Oval. On a beautiful night in the Inner-West of Sydney, the Waratahs faithful turned out in droves with a crowd of 11,381 packing the hill at the “eighth wonder of the world”.

Join us from 9:45pm as both sides look to push for a playoff spot.

Despite staring own the barrel of a big deficit at halftime, the Hurricanes have scored another win over Australian opposition.

“We talked about taking it moment by moment and we did that and got ourselves back into the game,” he said. The Waratahs forwards laid the platform for a 15-0 halftime lead, with their set-piece causing all sorts of headaches for the visitors. Skipper Ardie Savea has saved the day for the Hurricanes with a late try securing a 22-18 win over the Waratahs in a pulsating Super Rugby Pacific clash in Sydney.

With 12 minutes to go, the Waratahs broke their scoring drought with a penalty to go up by three, but with five minutes remaining Ardie Savea powered over from close range to put the Hurricanes in front for the first time. The visitors were down 15-0 at the break, and could have been in a bigger hole if not for some strong defence under a wave of early Waratahs territory and possession. The Hurricanes overcame a poor first half to take down the Waratahs 22-18 in Sydney.

Hurricanes come from 15-0 down at halftime to beat Waratahs in super Rugby Pacific clash in Sydney. Hurricanes captain Ardie Savea reckoned he couldn't repeat ...

Savea and his Hurricanes teammates remain in Australia for a game against the Rebels on Saturday. No.8 Rahboni Warren-Vosayaco came up with a try after picking up the ball at the back of the scrum. The Waratahs forwards laid the platform for a 15-0 halftime lead, with their set piece causing all sorts of headaches for the visitors. That try robbed NSW of victory in front of large and vocal crowd, which harked back to the Waratahs’ glory days, and also put a dent in their hunt for a top-four finish. "We controlled possession in the first half but they came out of the blocks really quickly in that second half and we had trouble controlling that. The win allowed the Hurricanes to leapfrog the Waratahs into fourth.

Carolina forward Max Domi scored the first two goals of his postseason career, and the No. 2 seed Hurricanes defeated the No. 7 Boston Bruins in Game 7 on ...

Trailing 1-0, Boston couldn't get out of the frame before Taylor Hall was assessed a double-minor penalty for high sticking. Rookie Pyotr Kochetkov stepped in to make his NHL playoff debut and helped the Hurricanes to victory. Boston hadn't lost in the first round since 2016-17, reaching at least the semifinals in three of the past four seasons and making a Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2018-19. For just the ninth time in NHL playoff history, the host team won each game. For Game 3, Boston made a crucial goaltending change from Linus Ullmark (.860 SV%, 4.16 GAA in Game 1 and Game 2) to rookie Jeremy Swayman and won the next two games by a combined score of 9-4. I think they felt that, too."

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Max Domi scored twice in the second period while Antti Raanta had 27 saves to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Boston Bruins 3-2 ...

The Hurricanes had their biggest home crowd in franchise history for this one with an attendance of 19,513. That includes the 2006 Stanley Cup finals against Edmonton, as well as a second-round series win on the road at Boston in 2009. The Bruins, a tested veteran squad, were in the playoffs for the sixth straight season. He also assisted on Teravainen’s goal with a perfect pass to the top of the crease for the first-period putaway. Raanta, who had never started a postseason game before this series, was again steady in net. That ended a series in which neither team could manage a road win, with the Hurricanes eventually getting the final word backed by yet another rowdy and loud home crowd.

The Bruins' season came to a painful end with a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series. Check out our three takeaways from ...

The Bruins' top players were forced to shoulder way too much of the scoring burden in Round 1, especially on the road. The Bruins spent a good chunk of money in free agency over the last two offseasons to address this scoring depth issue. When Boston's top line wasn't on the ice at 5-on-5, Carolina held a 31-24 edge in shot attempts, a 15-13 advantage in shots on net and a 2-0 goal differential. The Hurricanes doubled their lead to 2-0 in the second period on a lucky bounce. The Bruins ranked 26th in third period goals scored during the regular season. It got worse for the Bruins at the end of the first period.

The Carolina Hurricanes and Boston Bruins will play in a game 7. The franchise has a 5-0 record in game 7s since moving to North Carolina.

This is the goal that made the Hurricanes relevant again and is one of the most important goals in Hurricanes history. The single most important game in Carolina Hurricanes history took place in the confines of a game 7. Scott Walker was able to scoop up a rebound in overtime to stab a knife into the heart of Boston, because of course it was him. In a goal eerily similar to his brother’s game 7 winner in 2009, he came skating down the wing and sniped it top corner past Holtby. It took Doug Weight just a minute and a half to tie the game in the third period. The Hurricanes and Bruins have had a series for the ages that will now culminate in a game 7.

The Hurricanes advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs on Saturday, winning 3-2 over the Bruins to capture the series in seven games.

The Hurricanes (54-20-8) finished first in the Metropolitan Division during the regular season. The Hurricanes kept their lead, holding on to win the series. Max Domi scored two goals propelling the Hurricanes to victory.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Twice before, the Carolina Hurricanes had reached the playoffs only to see their ascent to becoming a serious Stanley Cup contender ...

The Hurricanes had their biggest home crowd in franchise history with an attendance of 19,513. Later, after DeBrusk had beaten Raanta from the top of the crease, Teravainen whipped a pass to Domi for a one-timer. That includes the 2006 Stanley Cup finals against Edmonton, as well as a second-round overtime win at Boston in 2009 — which came 13 years earlier to the day. But the Bruins found themselves playing catch-up after Domi's first goal, which had him skating in on the left side to bury a redirect attempt from Jordan Staal at 3:14 of the second. The Bruins were in their sixth straight playoffs. He also assisted on Teravainen's goal with a perfect pass to the top of the crease for the first-period putaway. Bergeron, the longtime No. 1 center, can become an unrestricted free agent after 18 seasons with the team. From there, the Hurricanes had to hang on through one tense clock-killing shift before they could celebrate. Then there's Raanta, who joined Frederik Andersen in the team's overhaul of its goaltender position. He was again steady in net. Carolina acquired him ahead of the March trade deadline, and he rewarded them with his first career postseason goals. One thing is certain: winning the Metropolitan Division title paved the way by securing home-ice advantage.

The Hurricanes' social media team is taking a victory lap after Carolina eliminated the Bruins from the playoffs with a Game 7 victory Saturday.

They are active on Twitter, to say the least. Shortly after the final buzzer, the 'Canes sent out this tweet trolling Bruins fans: The Hurricanes eliminated the Boston Bruins from the first round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 3-2 win in Game 7 at PNC Arena on Saturday night.

Boston lost 3-2 on Saturday, losing all four games played in Carolina in the series. Brad Marchand and the Bruins' season came to an end on Saturday. Jared C.

But the Bruins weren’t able to capitalize as the Hurricanes’ defense and goalie Antti Raanta stood tall to close the series. The Bruins made one last rush in the final minutes when they pulled goalie Jeremy Swayman to get an extra skater on the ice. Boston was able to get on the board a couple minutes later when Jake DeBrusk directed Patrice Bergeron’s pass from the boards into the net.

If the New York Rangers can win Game Seven against the Penguins, they will face the Carolina Hurricanes in the Second Round.

Carolina should be pretty confident knowing that they beat the Blueshirts pretty soundly in three of four games while the Rangers’ only win was a 2-0 shutout stolen by Alexandar Georgiev. Netminder Antti Raanta was in goal, but looks to be replaced in the next round by Frederik Andersen. Jesper Fast is a defensive stalwart for the Canes, as he was in New York. The two goals matched his total in 19 games for Carolina after he came over in a trade deadline deal with Columbus.
