I don’t know who the hell Sean McCormick is, but damn… bitter much?

I can’t help it if another American team is on the verge of keeping your birth right trophy south of the border for the 12th straight playoffs, but could you tone down the whining a bit? We’ve got people trying to sleep over here!

This is the first I’ve read of him, so I’m not sure of his tone after Game 1 (you know, the one where the “protected” Hurricanes spent most of the first 40 minutes in the box and quickly fell behind 3-0?), but your boys got thumped. The last 83 minutes of hockey shows Carolina 10, Edmonton 1. And I don’t think any referee’s have scored those goals (though Mick McGeough would have if he could).

And what’s with the passing mention of Georges Laraque (without mentioning his misconduct-inducing boarding call, of course), yet you call Andrew Ladd crashing the net and being thrown into Roloson (by Dwayne’s own admission) “cheap”? The only thing Laraque accomplished with his goonery was take the spotlight off of Ethan Moreau’s roundhouse in open ice on Glen Wesley. The Canes already have one player missing the playoffs for the kind of hit that Laraque threw on Ladd in the late stages of last night’s game, and there should never be another. The Hurricanes put together the same start in Game 2 that Edmonton put in Game 1, but where the Canes fought to get back from their deficit, the Oilers just got cheap.

You might want to pull your head out of your ass, Sean, you’re missing some good hockey.
