I would still pull for the East. I said if the Sab's beat us I would have to go with them for the cup just because its still the east, but thats me. I know you said "IMHO" but about every poll says the Oil wins. So I would say in fact that the Canes are the underdogs. At this point it dont matter. All the fuss the fans do dont change a thing. The teams just play the game, and there is a winner in the end.

Good luck next season

Go Canes!!!

Fantastic game last night. It's a shame Roloson got hurt. Any details on his injury?

Roloson is out of the playoffs with a knee injury:O

Series over.

Canes will not get the respect that most Stanley Cup winners get. They beat two teams not able to play at their best as they did all playoffs. Thats different then playing and beating two teams playing with their best players at full strength. I may be biased because they beat Buffalo, but Im pretty sure Id say the same thing if Buffalo never made it to the playoffs. Carolina being my second favorite team Id say the samething.

I think they'll get plenty of respect. It's only the people with an axe to grind who won't give them respect, but it's not like they'd give them respect anyway. First it's bad/biased officiating, then it's because the Canes exploit the injuries of other teams, and yet I've barely heard from you that they just flat out kicked a team's behind all over the ice.

That's not a lack of respect, that's sour grapes.

Being that the Canes are one of my favorite teams its hardly sour grapes. Im over the loss in our series. I was happy my team made it to the playoffs.
Bad/Biased officating has effected all teams in the playoffs. I dont think it changed the outcome at all.

Buffalo got beat by a better team at that time. Im only saying that Carolina's Eastern Conference win and possible Stanley Cup win will be caused by them being a better team at the time because of injuries. If Ottawa hadnt experienced the injuries they had early in the series I believe they would have wipped Buffalo.

No problem sir.

Canes win 5-0

PuckIt · « **Reply #329 on:** June 08, 2006, 08:28:17 AM »

Yeah 5-0.

The Oilers = frustrated. Bad pens, tried to take out Ladd with the goon. Say that Rod is cheating on the face off. If you cant beat the guy dont say he cheats. That should be left in middle school.

The Oilers have a good team, but if they dont calm down they will be crushed by the Canes.

I have heard the Lucky Canes thing now more than a few times. I would maybe agree IF the Canes had it tuff makeing it into the playoffs, but this year they came out a 2nd seed only 1 point, 1 game from 1st seed. What I mean is... The stats: (vs. Montreal / w5-3 / w7-3 / w8-2 / w5-1/ ---we took all 4)
(vs. NJ / w6-1 / w4-1 / L0-3 / L3-4 --- Split)
(vs. Buff / w5-3 / w4-3 / w4-3 / L0-4 --- 3 out 0f 4)
We beat them all when not hurt.

Over all
W L OL
CAROLINA 52 22 8

Im sorry I cant go with luck. I do understand the luck in sports, and agree that it was not a BAD thing that some teams were hurt, but I think the Canes would be in the same spot if this was not the case.

Bias?? Of course I am, I also understand that some of you did not even watch the Canes this year, I dont see every team either.

I am a die hard Hurricane fan please only take my post as such. I know everyone sees things differantly.

Canes in 5
