This should be a pretty entertaining SCF. I feel bad for the Sabres, though, missing four of their top defensemen tonight. Promote this thread! | | Bullitt

Plus I got goosebumps listening to the Canadian anthem being sung by the crowd so I wanna see how things will get there when they get to raise the Grail.
This is the first series ever I get to see live on tv here in Holland and I am pretty hyped about it. Several sleepless nights await me. | Freeway

Partly because I like the team, and partly because I (as a Flames fan) will never hear the end of it if the Oilers win. | dunkndollaz

| #6 Posted on 2.6.06 0909.13 Reposted on: 2.6.13 0909.52 | methinks the Hurricanes will be tired because their series went to seven...so if Edmonton plays a tight game, they could beat Carolina in five.
So, that's my prediction: Edmonton in five.
As a side note, I'd kill to see them bust out some classic WHL uniforms for one of the games. Not that it would likely happen, but still... | The Goon

WHA! They should find the old Avco Cup, certainly.
I don't think the long series should affect Carolina too much, as the Final doesn't start until Monday-four days off. The Oilers will have rested for nine days, and some folks say that's too much. So who knows?

| #9 Posted on 2.6.06 1114.19 Reposted on: 2.6.13 1117.32 | I type this with a smile on my face from my desk at work, where my Hurricanes license plate is hung up on the site of my cubicle ... My Hurricanes mini-Stanley cup sits next to my Hurricanes hockey puck, Whalers hockey puck, and Staal hockey puck ... I'm wearing my old beaten up Hurricanes jersey, and the office is annoyed because I've claimed $50 off of several people I placed bets with for the last round.
Oh yes, I'm psyched! 2nd time in four years we've made it to the dance, and they look HUNGRY!!!!
When Whitney/Recchi/Weight is your third line, you've got some SERIOUS depth! The Oilers are dead.
Edit: I forgot to mention the Hurricanes mouse-pad where my hand rests throughout the course of any given day...
