The Hurricanes could win it all tonight, and drink from Lord Stanley's cup!

At home.  In the best arena in the NHL, in front of the best fans in the league.

Ok, I'm a little biased, but the truth of the matter is that every game night, 18,000 southerners fill an arena built on what used to be a cow pasture in the middle of nowhere to watch hockey.  On ice.  A sport that would otherwise be anathema to them.

Let's go 'Canes!

1 I'm sad that the Oilers probably won't win. I'll have to take solace 11 of the Carolina boys are from Canada...

2 I just wish I would have been able to watch more than one game of the finals. Apparently I don't have the Bicycle Channel (or whatever it's called).
