I'm rooting for Carolina. They're my 2nd favorite team after the Minnesota Wild.
I've liked 'em ever since they moved to Carolina. Don't know why. Just do.
I watched all the play-off games in '02 when they made it to the Stanley Cup finals.
I hope they do better this time! GO 'CANES!

Hopefully the upcoming series won't be an anti-climax to the Eastern Conference series -- that was worthy of a Stanley Cup Finals. Despite the adversity of losing their top four defensemen and key forward Tim Connolly, Buffalo showed a lot of heart in extending the series against a technically better team in Carolina.
Actually, it was the "Hillary Curse" that did the Sabres in ... (word to the wise, never let Her Thighness mention she roots for your team ;)

I was pulling for the Sharks, until they were beaten by the Oilers. Hard to choose between the Oil and the Canes,
both are fast skating clubs, thought Oilers have more
grit and Canes more leavened by veterans.
Brind'Amour and Recchi are both in the twilight of their
careers and a Cup would cap them nicely. Also, Peter
Laviolette has done a great job keeping the Canes in the hunt all season. OTOH Craig McTavishs' Oilers benefitted by a brilliant set of trades at the deadline and a late season win streak that placed them barely into eighth place in
the West. I think it will go Oilers, in six.
Looking forward to a hard fought series.

What's with the Stanley Cup being played in June? Use to be the NHL Stanley Cup play-offs were over by mid-April, at the latest. If the Stanley Cup games are extended out all seven games this year it won't wrap up 'til mid-June ... which is ridiculous. Another few years down the road and the interval between when hockey wraps up for one season and pre-season games begin for the next ... will be down to about six weeks.

How bad are gasoline prices going to be if the Hurricanes beat the Oilers?
Let's have Canada win one.

My question is...
If Rush Limbaugh applied the Environmentalist Wacko approach to picking a winner who would it be?
Oil is obviously evil, allowing companies to make money while destroying the earth.
However, Hurricanes are obviously racist... otherwise they would have never set out to destroy the chocolate city of New Orleans.
What to do...
