Twenty years ago, the Carolina Hurricanes shocked the hockey world by bringing the Stanley Cup to Raleigh. Right in the dead center of that historic, chaotic run was 96 Rock and the legendary morning show "Salt & Demetri The Greek."

In this special one-off presentation on OG Triangle Media, Demetri Ravanos steps back into the host seat and gathers his old colleagues — Salt, Foster, and Crash — for an epic reunion to tell the stories you've heard on the air, and a whole lot of legendary ones you haven't until now. From rebranding the entire station as "96.1 The Cup," to driving a complete jalopy of a car all the way up to Buffalo just to antagonize Sabres fans during the Eastern Conference Finals, the guys look back at a time when a bunch of rock radio hosts who had absolutely no business talking hockey suddenly became the exact lens through which thousands of Triangle fans experienced a championship.

They wrap up the reunion by pulling back the curtain on how they somehow managed to end up directly on the ice celebrating with the team the night Lord Stanley officially arrived in North Carolina. Whether you listened every morning two decades ago or you're just learning about the wild history of Raleigh radio, this is a must-watch trip down memory lane.
