are you stupid or what? read my post. i played the hurricanes and the over. i just said it is a shame this is the best the nhl has to offer. my last hockey game in person was watching the flyers with bobby clarke in the 1970's. here in raleigh we have a mayor who was planning an ice cream party in the parking lot if the canes won. i saw about 10 people with canes flags on their cars driving around yesterday and today. if you think this area is crazy about hockey you have been swimming in the deep end too much. i respect what carolina has done but once again even if carolina wins, the players will go home to canada until next season. we are not a hockey town just yet.it will take a little longer in my opinion.
