Two things:
First: the lameness of the team's Cup run slogans. For the Oilers, it's "Get Electric!" which totally makes sense for a team named after a fossil fuel (I guess the alternate, petro-friendly slogan "Get Lubed!" didn't make it past the focus groups.) For the Hurricanes, it's "Whatever It Takes!” which is about as vague and pointless as it gets. "Whatever It Takes?" Would you punch your grandmother in the throat? Skull fuck a dead baby? Eat a gallon of lard? Crawl naked over a football field covered in broken glass and lemon slices? Look at Rod Brind'amour's face? No? Then I'm afraid, sir, you are not willing to do "Whatever It Takes!"
Second: the lameness of the coverage. The CBC is brutal. I don’t know if it’s budget cuts by the Conservatives or just incompetence, but MotherCorp can’t get its shit together. Improperly cued replays, drunken camera work and, worst of all, the execrable duo of Bob Cole and Harry Neale, who used to be pretty good but have lapsed into senility.
I'd tune into NBC, but I refuse to watch their coverage until they stuff a sock in Pierre Maguire's yap and then stuff him in a old refrigerator down at the dump. GOILERS.
