I'm proud of the Hurricanes scoring so high on the list. No doubt, the Stanley Cup win helped solidify the community support however, I suspect that much of those rankings are based on biasness. Besides that, if nothing else it does make Raleigh look better in the eyes of the sporting world and that is a win-win situation.
