You’re stunned?! I too am stunned. I was stunned by the fan base that the hurricanes obviously have. Stunned because living in Canada the impression of Carolina in general would be something akin to the Dukes of Hazzard tv show, which is obviously wrong, but the questions still linger, like “Bo and Luke Duke like hockey? Well I’ll be damned! I wonder if Daisey likes hockey…?” Never would have thought hockey would take off (eh?) in the south. There may be other impressions of the south that I need to adjust. I’ll have to come down there and see for myself.

hey – but they moved down there from my corner of the universe up in connecticut – canes use to be the whalers – so we’ll take a little pride in their win

the south actually has a rich tradition of minor league hockey – but you’re right it’s not nascar…

overall the playoffs were very exciting, especially to a hockey playing geek like me – and going to a very closely played game 7 in the finals was just about all anybody could have asked for…

congrat’s to the canes – hope they have fun carting it around this summer to all their hometowns

ohhh – icing is what you put on cake chad, duh…

I am equally stunned, but from the opposite direction. I grew up in Minnesota.
