Following the Knicks 53 ritual in winning the Stanley Cup, the Hurricanes did just the same thing the following day (Hurricanes=53, Carolina=53). Both teams won 53 games in the regular season, and the Hurricanes kept their opponent in the Stanley Cup Finals on 53 total wins for the season.

Keep in mind the Golden Knights season ended on the day of Trump’s 80th birthday (Gold is the 79th element on the periodic table).
