Boston, get ready for an influx of pathetic losers wearing Hartford Whalers jerseys. The Carolina Hurricanes pulled off an incredible late game comeback in Game 7 tonight against the New Jersey Devils to move on to the second round. With a 3-2 lead with just 1:20 left to play in the game, the New Jersey Devils looked poised to take Game 7 and the first round series but the Carolina Hurricanes had other plans. The Hurricanes got goals from Jussi Jokinen and Eric Staal 48 seconds apart to win 4-3 in dramatic fashion and advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals where they will face the Bruins.

Editor's Note: There is nothing inherently wrong with being a Whalers fan or a Hurricanes fan but there is something wrong with supporting a franchise that turned its back on its fans. Before I get a bunch of angry emails, I should probably point out that I am wearing a Binghamton Whalers t-shirt as I am writing this (It was a gift. I assure you, I bleed Black & Gold...and bruise like a peach). Cue the "Brass Bonanza"......
