HOOOLLLLYYYYY COOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!! Wow, just wow!! And becaue nobody here has said it yet, HELL YEAH TIM GLEASON ROCKS!!! THANK YOU Timmy for keeping that puck in the zone!!! I'm not going to comment on the game b/c you guys have all taken care of that for me. Airport!! Shannon and I got there around 11:45 and there were already about 200 people there. It wasn't 15 minutes later and another 200 showed up. They just kept rolling in people. Car after car full of Caniacs flooding the Airport. My best guess is that we ended up with 12-1500 out there but I'm horrible at estimating when there gets to be that many. LOL Big Mike was there. The Storm Squad showed up (out of unis b/c it wasn't an official thing). Jon Chase from the Canes PR people showed up with a box of car flags and posters of Cam Cam the dancing goalieman (did you people SEE that post game interview?) and a few of Staaly. We chanted and cheered and even got a Wardo chant going as Cam drove by. The Seexxxxxxy Jussi sign made an appearance (right above our heads no less) and not only did they have to keep calling for police backup b/c more and more people kept showing up (they were still coming in after the guys left) but TWO camera crews were there. I'm heading off into cyberspace now to see if any of the footage made the news websites. It was freaking awesome ladies. AWESOME! eta* OH, and Curl? You and your 4 hours sleep hush! I got at most 90 minutes and not only did I get to work on time (left Raleigh around 4:30 this morning) but I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed.....for the moment.

Wow, DG, it sounds like you had a fantastic time. What a great night, I keep watching the replays on NHL Network. It gets sweeter every time I watch it. P.S. I was going to say that I would have loved to have been a part of that but realized that I could have been last year when the Flyers beat the Caps in game 7 in OT last year and didn't take advantage of it. I wouldn't even know where to go at an airport to meet a team...lol..

GREAT airport recap DG! I got chills just reading it. I was remiss in not mentioning the fact that TIM GLEASON DOES ROCK! My brain still has not fully engaged this morning and I'm still trying to soak it all in. Keeping that puck in the zone while laying on the ice was just one of those moments that changes EVERYTHING in the blink of an eye. I did not see the post game interview! Was Cameron doing his charleston dance again?

Both the ABC and CBS stations had videos of the airport celebration on their site. www.wral.com/news/local/video/5044031/You can see Shannon in this one and I'd like to know where the heck I am since I was standing right next to her all night! Someone else will have to go find the ABC one and post it. LOL

Best quote ever by our goalieman. Quote: "I was looking at Mo to pull the goalie and the next thing I know we won the hockey game."

Sorry Susan, I'm alive and well, just a little whupped at the moment. Have a new project that's gonna keep me busy for a while, I do pop in and lurk here just about every day but I can't come up with anything witty to say, lol. You can see my project here, if you like; elliemurray.livejournal.com/12217.htmlAwww.. that's a great thing you are involved in there Ellie. Your Cara story brought tears to my eyes too. Horses are beautiful creatures aren't they?
