Staal's goal with 3 second's left int he game to tie the devils. Worst play? Stillman's amazing give away to Pisani in game 5 OT. Best Ref? - Yeah, right. Worst ref? McGoo - who else? Worst fans - Buffalo.

Thx Rex, as a Raleigh resident I appreciate your view. To return a favor, the Edmonton fans are a far better breed than the idiots out of Buffalo. I say this with difficulty because I came out of Western NY. But understand this - the majority of Raleigh residents are in fact reformed northerners. What is more, the *real* southerners are just as rabid fans of the Canes as any Detroit - or even Edmonton fan are of their team. Why? Because Hockey is such a great game. Prima Donnas are reviled, workmen are heroes and the game is just a blast to watch. Come on down next year and see it yourself. Tail gating in January in 60 degree temps is a gas! Raleigh welcomes ANYONE from Edmonton. (Buffalo fans - please stay home. You people are an embarrassment) Who's a thunk it? 5 years ago, no one in their right mind would think a southern city would have a great chance to win the Cup. It is the 'Canes Cup this year to win or lose. (IMHO) In the words of the great "Larry the Cable Guy" GIT 'R DONE!!

First. Hockey is about a team and Carolina has one. Edmonton got hot, made a run and ran into high quality opposition. They somehow got SJ to lay down. I am still scratching my head ovr that one. The Sharks *should* be in the finals. The 5-0 score is just a symptom of that. The Oil Cans don't have a chance. Never did - even with 3 Rolli's. Second. Carolina has been on a mission. Nothing will stop these guys this year. I've watching all year and they consistently find ways to get it done against all comers. With that said, the Oil Cans will win a game in Alberta - if they have any pride or professionalism - that is, if they are team that plays for each other. Then Canes finish it on June 4th in Raleigh. Take it to the bank. Interesting shot blocking stats. Looks like the Oil Cans suck at that.

Well. A Typical start to a series Carolina plays. They started slow and low in every series, but in the third period they wake right up. They are never out - ever. I notice a few things about them in the Buffalo series and now in the finals - first, they seem to be forgetting defense. When the defense is clicking, the shut down teams as Montreal and NJ found out. Second, every game has a new shining start - Whitney and Brind 'Amour last night. Third - where is Staal?? Not much production from the youngster ina few games. I expect an explosion from him over the rest of the series. Regardin Rollie - that sucks. I am a Carolina fan (WITH cup tix!!) and seeing him go out was really terrible. However, Conklin is a good goalie - he is a frickin pro for crying out loud. At this level, the game is mental. He has an uphill battle, but he is made of the right stuff. What hurts the Oilers more is merely dropping the game after building a 3 goal lead!!! THAT would make me SICK were I an Oiler fan. Let me tell ya what is sweet - few picked Carolina - even when they got in the playoffs - except us 'Cane fans. Did you know June 1 was the start of Hurricane season? (We dispatched Buffahump that night) Did you know the first Hurricane of the season will be named "Alberto"?? The masculine version of Alberta - the province where Edmonton resides? It is easy - everything is aligned and the 'Canes are the best team in Hockey. We will be Renaming the Stanley Cup to "The Dixie Cup" on June 14. Game 5, it will be over. GO CANES!

Most of the injured buffalo defensemen are not top notch anyway. Connolly was the big loss. (IMHO It was nice seeing all those kids from Rochester really make that team what it is. Canes will beat the Oilers. 5 Games. Oilers - who'd they play? A way way over rated Red Wings - who feasted on cellar dweller teams to the tune of 24-4 this year and then went a little over 500 for the rest of the year. Not a surprise they went home. The quacks - they never showed up!! The Sharks - they laid down and quit after game two - it was embarrassing Hockey. Now come the Canes. The Oilers are in for a big shock. Gretzy dumped canada long ago - they are a fluke!

How stupid is Nike. News flash - Buttey is a dope smoking drunk. Hey - I have an idea, lets sign him up! Buttey is just the kind of front we want. What ever happened to Nike?

Eric Cole has more heart than anyone on this team. If the team just shared his passion and committment they'd be 3-0-0.

Please Barry, just go. Any record you may set is already tainted. Go back to where ever you came from and stew in your own hate.

Canes ship stud D-man prospect Jack Johnson to the Kings.
I am *certain* that Rutherford tried to get more for this idiot kid and his moronic father. I am not sure what the problem was, but drafting out of highschool is NEVER EVER a good idea. (IMHO) I wish Jimbo had got more - but what the heck, the kid has made a mess of things by allowing his father to call the shots. He will be good, but cancerous everywhere he goes. As far as the pundits go - they had the 'Canes not even making the playoffs last year. I find them to be rather dumb (how do they get paid??)
