Yeah. So the Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup. I barely care about this. I've never been much of a hockey fan. I've tried, but I've never been able to get interested in the sport. I guess it's just not my thing.

Even so, I was still rooting for Edmonton of empathy for a few blog pals who have lately seemed to live and die by the Oilers. So yeah. Bummer that the 'Canes won. What really annoys me is the location of the winning team: North Carolina.

That just seems wrong. Phoenix, Los Angeles, Dallas, Tampa, Atlanta… how on Earth did professional hockey take root in these places? It seems so odd that a game played on gigantic sheets of ice could be so popular in places where the weather is not capable of creating and sustaining gigantic sheets of ice.

I'm just sayin'.
