LAS VEGAS \u2014 The narrative for the Hurricanes entering the playoffs was whether they would finally break through and win the Eastern Conference after coming so close in recent years.<\/p>

Now the question is whether Carolina will close the deal and win the Stanley Cup<\/a> .<\/p>\n

That answer could come Sunday night when the Hurricanes take a 3-2 series lead into their game at Vegas, facing a Golden Knights team that held the Cup aloft just three years ago<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Should the Hurricanes prevail, it will be their second Cup and first since winning it all 20 years ago when current coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour captained that club.<\/p>\n

He has kept the Hurricanes competitive, but as well as they played in the regular season, they couldn\u2019t get out of the East. They lost in the conference final two of the past three years before finally breaking through this year with a five-game series victory over Montreal<\/a> .<\/p>

Now Carolina is 60 minutes from potentially winning it all, but the Hurricanes do have some margin for error. They can lose and still win the Cup on home ice Wednesday in a winner-take-all Game 7.<\/p>\n

Vegas coach John Tortorella boldly pronounced after Thursday’s 4-2 loss<\/a> in Game 5 that he was leaving his clothes at his North Carolina team hotel in anticipation of a return trip.<\/p>\n

It might not have been Mark Messier\u2019s guarantee before the Rangers defeated the Devils in the 1994 Eastern final, but should the Golden Knights win the title, Torts\u2019 declaration will be up there in Las Vegas lore with team owner Bill Foley\u2019s \u201cCup in six\u201d pledge that came to fruition in 2023.<\/p>
