Did'ya think great hockey is played in North Carolina?  I knew I could count on Carolina to finish ... THE Oilers. Carolina wins the cup! Carolina is not just known for the Duke Blue Devils. Now we also own the Stanley Cup! What an exciting finish!

It's OUR pleasure

Sexy Carolina

He says with a faint whimper

And will for many years to come.

A humble congrats to Carolina.

And Edmonton... we'll get 'em next year.

Overall, great series.

Kisses,
Vanica (life long Oiler fan)

Yeah I'm glad to get the Dukies out of the headlines for at least a day.  I mean collosal chokes in men's and women's basketball, lacrosse gang rape and DWI's, it was getting old having such a low-class institution smudge the reputation of the great state of North Carolina.  I'm glad the Canes won the cup.  We needed something positive just in case the UNC Tar Heels don't win the College World Series in baseball.

The home of ACC Hoops and Nascar now has the cup. I would have liked to see the Oilers win and the cup in Canada's hands for the good of the sport.

The last two cups (with one unfortunate year away) belong to Tampa Bay and Carolina.  Who would have ever thought that the South would become a hockey hotbed?  

I hear where you are coming from in terms of the good of the sport.  I'm a big fan of the 'Original Six' (Let's go Rangers!) and I'm way into tradition.  However this fantastic sport needs exposure wherever it can find it and from that angle I think it's great that non-tranditional cities and franchises are in the loop.  Congrats to the Canes on a great season.

"Now we also own the Stanley Cup"

Careful, now...you don't own it - Toronto is just letting you hold onto it for a year.

Toronto WILL win the cup again before I die or get too old and senile to enjoy the after parties...

And no, I do NOT want to hear 10,000 reasons why this won't ever happen, or why I'm a sucker for thinking it will.

Leafs in 2007, Baby! Or '08.. or maybe 09..

sigh.

exposure to increase, would be to get it off Outdoor Life Network. Do young fans even know where to tune in to see hockey?

I live in OC, so I can relate to the 'new' hockey phenomenon with the Mighty Ducks. Just gotta love the tradition of the Redwings, Rangers, Canadiens, Oilers, etc.

Nice to Brind A'mour (sp?) hoist the cup too.

I hear that in charles darwin day, that the Canadian Cavemen used to wipe their asses with Maple Leafs? ( Leaves)

Love you Morgan! LOL!
