Me too. I'm guessing that the Oilers don't have to pay (fan-friendly) cheerleaders to stand in the arena to get their fans fired up. Even though they have boo-ed the Star Spangled Banner, I'm still going to root for Edmonton.
Having the Cup back in Canada is good for the NHL, Go Oilers!
Hah! The Canes cheerleaders look pretty hot but it seems to me they're not right for a lunch pail sport like hockey. A mascot is OK and kids playing goofy games on the ice between periods is all I need.
Hee-hee-hee.... I understand. You're just upset that you embarassed yourself with your conference finals prediction thread and your Devils took the big one right up the ol' wazoo. Yup, Devils in 5, Devils coming out of the East... tough to beat Brodeur this time of year...
BTW... We have cheerleader babes in the stands because we can. The Meadowlands are still looking for cheerleaders but they are having trouble luring them away from the trough over at the harness track.
