why God, why.. why Carolina...
 

another band wagon town got what they did not need...

Why dont people like Carolina? Seems as though no-one wanted them to win.

what did they get? sorry.. totaly lost.

I think they won the Stanely Cup.

Probably cause it's a College Basketball state and North Carolinians aren't as big a hockey fans than Edmonton.

Just remember, you can dress them up in different suits, you can rename them, they can even win a trophy...

They're still the fucking Hartford Whalers... always will be...

Not to worry, the Carolina dynasty ends with 1 Cup...they might not even win the division next year if Atlanta find some goaltending, or if Washington finds a center to play with Ovechkin and a defensive defenseman or two...

So it is kind of like America winning the World Cup?

:1orglaugh Not quite, but almost.

I did, they hit hard and constant! Without that the game is pretty boring to watch

Nice not to even mention the previous Stanley Cup winners Tampa Bay Lightning.

Good for them regardless..brings in a couple more American fans

You hate them because of the fans?

Until the Lightning find a goaltender to play the way Khabibulin did in 2003-04, they're barely a play-off team. Right now, in the Southeast, the goaltending rankings are like this:

1) Carolina: Ward starts, Gerber is trade bait, unknown back up.
2) Washington: Kolzig starts, Johnson backs up
3) Florida: Auld is probably the starter..
4) Atlanta: Is Lehtonen the starter? Is Shields?
5) Tampa Bay: Sean Burke and John Graeme... yuck...

Don't get me wrong, Tampa can score lots of goals, and are an exciting team to watch, but their netminding is their downfall, and despite all the rule changes, if you have a problem in goal, you have a problem since their mistakes go on the scoreboard.

i just hated them because they beat montreal in the playoffs...

I'm at a loss... is this sports related?
