I grew up in Minnesota where the North Stars DOMINATED the sports scene. To this day anyone who is a hockey fan in MN is still bitter about the owner taking them to Dallas…sure the Wild are around, but it’s just not the same. It’s nice to be in a city with true sports fans:tup:

The only reason berry’s picking carolina, is cus he picked them to win it b4 the season started. even how well the sabres are playing, i dont think he cares. he’ll still root for CAR.

anyways, Sabres vs. Oilers in the cup

Minnesota is a great hockey state. Sucks that they lost the North Stars.

In MN they treat high school hockey like it’s the Superbowl…full televisoin coverage on CBS/NBC/ABC type channels, front page of the sports section of the newspaper, etc. It was crazy how serious it was…there was even girls hockey in high schools back in '96.

Carolina vs. Anaheim…Carolina wins the cup.

That is what I really think unfortunately, but I know it will happen because I, along with a few other speeders were supposed to be living there RIGHT NOW…and it would only make sense.

I do think the Buf/Car series goes 7 games.

But my hope is obviously with buffalo, but when I look at it, I have to think Carolina has a slight upper hand over buffalo.

Carolina and their oh I don’t like hockey fans can kiss my ass. I can’t believe they still have tickets available… that’s crazy talk.

Carolina FTL

methinks it will be Buffalo in 6, and Edmonton in 7 for the conferences, then Buffalo in 7 for the cup.

on the ESPN hockey page they have a poll for the most likely team to reach the cup and buffalo has the most votes so i guess its not just buffalo fans that think we are gonna take it

Sure is. All Star race in Charlotte on Saturday night at 7:30pm. I have to work at the track all fucking day, so I will be missing game 1.

The Canes arena is 2 hours away, and I am sure there are some folks attending the race instead, but I don’t think it is that big of a factor. They barely talk about the Canes on the news in Charlotte…

I’d really like to see it be the Oilers and Sabres, mostly it would be easier for me to get tickets.
