Making the playoffs is a special feeling
After a nine-year drought, the Carolina Hurricanes clinched a playoff berth. They defeated the New Jersey Devils 3-1 at home last night, and goalie Petr Mrazek was the Hurricanes’ hero. Mrazek made 36 saves to lift his team over the Devils, and he was thrilled after the game, as we can see from his interview.
Looks like @pmrazek34 is pretty excited. 😂 pic.twitter.com/8OOvSHdOQO
