NO ONE picked that Finals matchup and unfortunately no one will be watching it outside of Raleigh and Edmonton.

I definitely couldn't have picked the Oilers and 'Canes to be in the Cup final, but I think you're wrong about who will be watching.  When there's a Canadian team in the final, most Canuckians are glad to cheer them on.  Go Oilers!

There's a team with redneck fans in the finals so I'll be rooting for the 'Canes. God bless southern hockey.

Well it's a given all of Canada will be watching but in the US, outside of Raleigh, who is gonna care?  Only true die-hard fans will watch.  It's a great scenario for the league in the sense that you have 2 teams who were able to spend thanks to the new cap and be successful in the "new" NHL, yet you have 2 teams that don't draw so the ratings could be terrible.

What a game!  I haven't seen a game like that in the Finals since game 2 of the 1998 Final between Detroit and Washington. 

Cam Ward was amazing tonite.  I can't believe Bergeron cross checked Ladd into his own goalie.  That could cost the Oilers the series if Roloson is out for more than the rest of game 1.  Can you imagine?

EDIT: MacTavish just announced at the press conference that Roloson is "Not good and wont be back for the series."    :o

No doubt!

If Roli is really out as the early reports say, this could be a HUGE problem for Edmonton since Conklin hasn't played in weeks and isn't really that great to begin with...

My original pick was Edmonton in 6, but without Roli this thing could be Carolina in 5.   :-\

Cup cloak & dagger?

I'd love to see him be right about this.  The return of Roloson after supposedly being unable to skate again would be an amazing morale booster and momentum swing.

LOL.  That's nothing more than some Canadian columnist trying to resurrect the hopes of Edmonton fans who know the end is near.

Wow.  Cam Ward looked GREAT.

Markkanen looked... like Ty Conklin would have looked - BAD.  I don't think it would have mattered which of the two it was, as Carolina looked pretty invincible. 

Off to Edmonton I guess and if things keep rolling, I doubt we get back to Raleigh.
