If CBJ gets in and somehow finds a way to win a round and maybe go on a bit of a run - there's the possibility other teams might try to replicate it next year. I'd hate to see them fail and everyone get even more stingy at next years TDD.
As for Carolina - I really don't get why with all the crappy things going on in the world the Storm Surge is what people decide to be vocal about. Everyone loved it when Dougie was photobombing post game interviews here a few years back. It's just having a bit of fun and isn't hurting anyone. I can only imagine how the local news there would show off the latest Surge and people would be talking about it at work. For everyone bitching about non-hockey markets that struggle and how they should move - things like this should show how a market can get invigorated and involved. And if you truly don't like it that's fine - you're a curmudgeon.
Oh, and #### the Habs. Hope they miss for the next decade or two.

Totally agree. Love that they went all in and they are my Eastern team for this year as a result.
