Carolina Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes are a professional ice hockey team playing in the National Hockey League (NHL), and are based in Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina -- the "Canada" to Stephen Colbert's home state of South Carolina. I mean, let's face it: North Carolina doesn't even have a page on this site yet -- a clear sign of weakness and, more importantly, inferiority.

The Hurricanes are the 2005-06 Stingley Cup Champions, having beat the hell out of the Edmonton Oilers. Like the people of Edmonton know anything about hockey.

The "Canes", as they are affectionately known, destroyed Edmonton in game 7, by scoring a basket in all three innings of play, resulting in a 3-1 victory.

 * After the thorough shit-canning delivered in game 7, the Hurricanes' players allowed Stephen Colbert the opportunity to triumphantly hoist the Stingley Cup. For a kid from Charleston, South Carolina, it must have been a dream come true.
