"Welcome to Carolina, Lord Stanley!"

Edmonton's Cup run is over, while Carolina has proven that they're a hockey town. Last night, in an incredibly exciting game seven of the Stanley Cup finals, the Oilers lost 3 - 1 to the Hurricanes. That there even was a game seven is a testament to how hard the Oilers fought, but in the end Carolina was just way too strong. The Globe & Mail has an excellent write-up of the game.
