Svechnikov were among a line of Hurricanes players who kept intermittently cranking the \u201cStorm Warning\u201d siren that is a pregame tradition for the team to take the ice.<\/p><p>Read more <a

manager Eric Tulsky calling reserve forward Nicolas Deslauriers to the podium to sign a two-year $1.75 million deal. The trade-deadline acquisition was set to become an unrestricted free agent, one of the few bits of roster uncertainty for a team that has the core of its roster locked up to long-term deals.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, it was a daylong party.<\/p>\n<div> <div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<span>\n\t\t\t\t\tNOW PLAYING\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<p>Carly Goodman, 35, of Raleigh, was hard to miss in the front row behind barricades in front of the stage where the parade would end with a rally. She sported a red Sebastian Aho jersey, waved a large Hurricanes flag and was blinged out with a silver \u201cStanley Cup\u201d chain necklace.<\/p>\n<p>She was drinking from a \u201cbeer skate,\u201d the novelty mug shaped like a Hurricanes skate that sold out immediately during the Game 1 of the second-round series against Philadelphia. She got up at 5 a.m. \u2014 \u201cLet my dogs out, they were mad to get up,\u201d she said \u2014 and made sure to head straight downtown hours in advance to ensure a prime spot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been something special ever since 2006,\u201d Goodman said. \u201cRaleigh\u2019s a small market. We\u2019ve got college sports, but this is epic. It\u2019s a team that everybody can get behind. It breaks down all the barriers. Everyone just comes together and smiles, no matter if you\u2019re a Duke fan, Carolina fan, whatever \u2014 it doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p><section>\n<div>\n<h2>MORE FROM CBS 17<\/h2>\n<section>\n<h2>\n\t\t\n\t\tWAKE COUNTY NEWS\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<div>\n<article>\n<!-- Next line is not the perfect\/ideal way to control hiding the items.
