For the second time in three years, a Southern team beat a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. That other season was the lockout.

One of the reason why Hockey is almost dead! If another Southeastern team wins again, the NHL is done for.

Nonsense, it's really taking off!

In fact, with a Cup win under their belt, this might be the year that the Hurricanes finally sell more merch than Dale Earnhardt.

:rolleyes:

Go watch the Beanpot. No stinking Southerners and plenty of smug to go around there. <_<

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

Congrats to the Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes, and to three players I saw before they were stars:

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

As a Canucks fan, thank you Carolina, for not allowing the Oilers to win another Cup. Congratulations. :)

Flames in 07! :hockeysmiley:

Hey I agree--after a slight edit job...

I was glad to see COmmodore lifting the Cup--it looked good.

Congrats to the Canes and the folks in Raleigh...yeah, seems strange for a guy that grew up a short ride up I-84 from the Hartford Civic Center wishing a team owned by Karmanos well, but hey...it's been nearly 10 years...time to let it go as far as I'm concerned.

There's 4 guys I'm especially happy for with all of this...3 will get their names on the Cup for sure...one other won't as he works behind the scenes in a way, but deserves my hearty congratulations...

First is Rod Brind'Amour...always liked the guy, even when he was a Flyer...one of the more underrated players in the NHL if you asked me. Glad to see him get to skate the Cup around finally.

Second would be Glen Wesley...18 long years for Big Red...seeing him with the B's back in the day had me respecting the guy well before he joined the Whalers...in a twist of irony, it was kinda funny to see him going against Sergei Samsonov, who the B's took with one of the draft picks they got from the Whalers as compensation for signing him.

Third is Doug Weight...he missed out on the fun in 1994 with the Rangers thanks to one of the many trades they made with Edmonton. And seeing how he was THE meal ticket for the Oilers for quite a few seasons, it had to be a bit bittersweet for Dougie finally accomplishing his dream against a team he was a part of for quite a while.

The last guy I'm happy for is one you never see, but you probably have heard him...that would be their longtime radio PBP guy Chuck Kaiton. He's been with the team since they entered the NHL back in 1979 and has seen it ALL with this club...from the struggles of the early years, the infamous Mark Howe incident, the playoff push in 1986, Kevin Dineen's miracle goal in the Adams Finals in 86 to force a Game 7, Claude Fluffing Lemieux, the annual One & Done ritual in April, Russ Fluffing Courtnall, the trades that killed the team, the move, the days in G-Boro, Steve Chaisson, more doldrums, the return of the Franchise, the surprise run in 2002, the last hurrahs for #10 and #11, and now this....I grew up listening to Chuck on WTIC-AM calling the games (as it was indespensible for me seeing I didn't get SportsChannel New England)...he's called Stanley Cup clinchers before (as he did work for the Habs in 1993 on their English radio feed after the Habs had asked), but it's great to see him FINALLY call one for his team...

I'd be remiss in not giving the Oilers their due as well...they showed a ton of heart coming back from a deficit that any other team would have called impossible. The fans up there have nothing to be ashamed of...and yeah, that Pisani guy...he's kinda good ;)

I second that entire notion!

Today, the city of Raleigh should be known as "The City of Champions"
