that sucks coz it was one of the most entertaining. I can't stand the Canes though, they only got that far because of teams getting decimated with injuries against them.

I don't really understand this comment because they were a straight-up better team than everyone they faced. This is true both in terms of points (the only teams with more points than them lost before facing them), and just judging by the strength of their roster, especially once you bake in that Cam Ward played better than at pretty much any other time in his career. Go look at their roster; it's really damn good, the forward depth in particluar is nuts.

I can see disliking them because they definitely loaded up on talent late in the year (e.g. Recchi and Weight, I think there was someone else?) to become the team they did and obviously kinda mortgaged much of their future to do this (to the point where they've had almost no success since) but I dunno, as someone without much of a direct stake in eastern teams, I thought they were fun. I also hated Edmonton at the time (the Canadian media salivated over them in a way that made me cringe) so of course the final result was cathartic.
