An individual National Hockey League playoffs game which does not appear to meet WP:GNG. I found only one reliable source which refers to the game as "Shock at the Rock", which was written by a journalist who follows the team, rather than a widespread name for the game. When this article was in draft space, its merit was debated here. Consensus then did not appear to be in favour of this article, and I have found no new research to support it passing GNG.

Delete Entirely routine game summary and coverage, no indication of substantial or lasting significance. Reywas92^Talk 13:30, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Good grief, this is just another playoff game (in a preliminary round yet), and the number of unremarkable playoff games where a team's scored two goals in the final minutes to pull it out has to number in the hundreds at least, and this wouldn't be article-worthy if it had been the deciding game of the Cup Finals. Fails WP:ROUTINE going away. Ravenswing 20:10, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: Although I found two articles through a general Google search, including one with NBC Sports, I still do not find that this is worthy of its own article based on notability. Rather, this content would work best as a section in the Carolina Hurricanes article. As it is already mentioned in that article, a redirect makes the most sense.

Redirect to Carolina Hurricanes or another suitable target (maybe the season article): redirects are WP:CHEAP and preserve the page history better. I had accepted this AfC submission because I thought the references established notability but now I realise that sources are WP:ROUTINE coverage more than WP:SIGCOV.

Delete per above, routine game summary and coverage, no indication of substantial or lasting significance. Fails GNG and NEVENT. // Timothy :: talk 21:26, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
