From the AP:
The Carolina Hurricanes and their fans celebrated the first major pro title in the state's history Tuesday, with the 114-year-old Stanley Cup signifying that hockey has found a home in North Carolina."Nine years in the making. It's about time," said Adrian Ionescu, 19, of Cary.
Nine years? I guess that's what passes for hard core loyalty these days. I hope the Toronto fans out there don't throw a clot.
Ha, well, remember that this kid was 10 when his ‘wait’ began. Practically his whole adolescence. So, you can understand why it would feel like hard core loyalty to him.
I am surprised several comments weren’t left by jubilant Canes fans on why you questioned their “hard-core loyalty”. While their team played well enough to win the last two series, it’s pretty clear they were able to take advantage of some bad luck against other teams they played.
