So starved is the NHL for entertainment, that they have a Banner Night for cup champions. 20,000 people cheered and screamed in Carolina tonight for 3 pieces of cheap vinyl raised to the rafters: one for the division championship, one for the conference title and the final banner for the cup.

The last time that many rednecks cheered for a piece of vinyl, the Convoy soundtrack was on the charts.

Flashing lights, lasers and loud music and smoke. The whole ceremony striked me — for the first time — as just plain stupid. Silly.
