I never liked this whole "Canadian team" thing. I like the Oilers, and would love to see them win over Carolina if that matchup happens. But where we stand now, I have 3 words for you all:
I can't stand cities with garbage fans getting the Cup (i.e. Tampa). Carolina couldn't even pack the house until 10 games left in the season and I'm not sure they even did it then. Anaheim still had seats available in the 1st round against Calgary. I hate these crap hockey markets that have one good year, the bandwagon starts up and then after a year it subsides and they go back to dragging the league down. I don't think anyone can argue that Carolina has been a total failure as a hockey market. It's simply a waste of a Cup - just like Tampa. No one cares in these markets - it's all about football, b-ball, baseball or NASCAR.
Carolina 21st in attendance = Avg. 15,596 (after THAT season? It boggles the mind)
Anaheim 24th in attendance = Avg. 15,106
