I knew this was going to come to pass again.

Again, I don't like Peter Karmanos, either. I don't like what he did to Hartford.

I understand the sentiment, but no matter how much of a scumbag he may be, hockey is now in the Carolinas. Enough people have embraced it for this market to be legitimate. Along the lines of the Original Six and the Canadian teams? No, not even close. But Raleigh's not a crossroads and there are enough Northern transplants and some Southern types who are warming to the idea for the Hurricanes to stick.

Deal with it.

I'm a northerner and from the same city that Karmanos built his fortune.

I'm no fan of Karmanos. He goes and offers Fedorov this huge contract, which the Red Wings had to match. Then a few years later, he's the biggest voice behind how "small market" teams can't compete in the old NHL.

Yet, despite that, I'm still pulling for the Canes.

Aw he was just doing that fuck with Ilitch.

As long as the review was, I'm surprised they didn't Zam the ice, take the 20 minutes to review it and get it right and then play the 4.1.

The fact that the whistle blew because the Oilers touched up is ridiculous. By that reasoning if it hit Hemsky's stick and went in clean it wouldn't have counted either. Should have been the penalty shot and the PP for the delayed call.

Plus, I'd rather not see Chris Pronger get his name on the Cup.

Hear, hear ... that's reason enough, eh?

They better check for hanging chads in that replay booth. Those wizards are idiots. It sounds like a penalty shot should have been called and they couldn't decide so they threw up their hands and said no play.

What bullshit!

Holy shit, that sucks for the Canes.

If I was living in Baltimore still, I doubt I'd be able to root for the Ravens. Sport is a business -- but an owner can still treat his community right. Fuck the Canes.

FUCK Peter Karmanos.

If I have to see that piece of human shit--no, wait, that's far too kind a term for him--hoist the cup I may vomit myself to death.

FUCK Peter Karmanos.

Cursing under my breath. Something about the Cup, the exhaust from a NASCAR car, Peter Karamos and the theme from Deliverance.

I wouldn't saying anything like that yet. Too much time left to play. Wouldn't want to jinx it.
