Stanley Cup Finals

Game 1 goes to Carolina............wow.

I know it's only 1 game, but they are not just going to lay down for this this one....looks like it's going to be a great series after all.


Why couldn't they do it when they wore blue and green?


I'm pulling for Carolina because
1-Underdog
2-Ron Francis/Sami Kapanen/Jeff ONeil ( former whalers)
3-I would like to see at least one other high priced team lose ( other being my Rangahs)
4-Don't like Dom Hammock to much


But, I don't want that !@#!@# Karmanos to enjoy any of it

Wings are going to rebound and do Carolina like they did the Avs in game seven. They will take this personally.

wings lucked out in games 7 and everyone including the wings knows it!

After seeing the D'backs and Patriots win their respective championships, I think the Hurricanes and Nets are a lock to win theirs. It's the year the gluttonous, greedy sports team owner CAN'T buy a championship.

Gomer- No doubt. The Wings are not going to roll over either, but Carolina is not going to give them this cup....could even go 7 games.. Canes have been dominating in OT.

zskillz- I wouldnt say they were lucky, but blowouts usually mean something unusual went wrong...Looks like the Avs picked the wrong night to have a stinker. ( in my Lloyd Bridges voice)

JnMhayes- Nail on the head. Even though I would hate to see the Canes owner win anything, I would love to see a team get beat that is loaded to the brim with superstars.
P.S. Being a Rangers fan, I know first and formost, about trying to "buy" a championship. We can't even buy a playoff spot.Our problem has been getting them past their prime.



Yeah Canes' players

I'm still rooting for the Hurricanes just because I have been hearing everyone talk trash and say that the Wings would take it in 4 games and it'd be a whoopin.. Looks like their wrong already, eh?

Another reason I am rooting for the Hurricanes? -- I like Rod Brind'Amour (Especially from the Flyer's era. )

Well, I was one of those guys talking trash about Carolina to , I didn't say 4 but I did say five. After I watched last night’s game, I’m thinking it could possibly go 7. Remember what the Wings did to my Canucks though. Vancouver went 2 games to 0 then the wings (Hasek) decided to show up . When the wings are on, they're unbeatable. Let’s hope Irbe can keep it up.

Wingsssssssssssssssssss, please.

Irbe needs to break in some new pads... I think he said that he'll retire them after this year.

Hey, if you guys haven't seen this, it's worth a look.
