The team that people keep talking about around here is the Canes team that won the cup coming out of the lock out.
Team management saw everything was going right for them in a year where no one team was a clear favourite so they said #### it and went out and got Recchi and Weight at the deadline. Rode a hot goaltender through the play-offs, won the cup and then resumed mediocrity the following year.
The GM of that team was ofcourse Jim Rutherford, so the idea of the team loading up for a run a few years sooner than they expected before going back to their original speed next year isn't out of the cards.
