I found an article on ESPN Page 2 about Canes fans (or the lack there of) LINK


...and im a Sabres fan and never ever put Connolly ahead of Cole...the argument is more over who has lost more and if you cant agree that Buffalos 4 losses out outweight th Canes losing Cole then you sir are an idiot

That article sucks. I'm sure there are TONS of 'canes fans.... going to a couple of bars is hardly represenative of the fan base. I really hate any AP/ESPN article on hockey as they always twist everything around. The 'canes and preds are doing good and both had like the loudest stadiums before the lockout. They are still new teams and growing, give them a little more time.

As for the AP/ESPN... I was at the Sharks/Oilers game 5. This is the game both the AP and ESPN wrote "you couldn't hear the Canadian anthem until the final line, the boo's were so loud"

Well, I was at that game... did the fans boo? Yes. Until the final line? Not even close. The boos lasted a total of like 10 seconds and then the WHOLE STADIUM was singing 'O Canada'. Ahh, ESPN forgot to mention that.

Hockey-bashing is the thing to do after the lockout.
