So says Ray Whitney's grandmother, Delena, who had her chance to hoist the Cup (with some assistance) as Lord Stanley's mug travelled to Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, with Carolina Hurricanes' Whitney and Mike Commodore.

Reason number 34824 why the Hurricanes and their "fans" didn't deserve to win the Stanley Cup.
I wish the weight of the Cup would have crushed her.
So you think an 80yo grandma should be killed because she doesn't care about hockey? What the fuck kind of person are you? Never mind simple facts like "she's from Fort Saskatchewan," or, "her grandson was one of the 'Canes' players," the bottom line is that people like you give the rest of the Oilers fandom a bad name.
You disgust me.
What the fuck kind of person are you?
I'll take "an anonymous coward with no sack" for 500, Alex.
Hey, I thought you couldn't hoist the cup unless you had one it. Looks like Grandma is cursed -- she's never gonna win the thing now.
Oh man. Did I really just type "one" instead of "won"? Somebody shoot me.
I'll take "an anonymous coward with no sack" for 500, Alex.
I felt that answer was obvious, but yeah, pretty much.
I think Mirtle needs to start shooting these guys. Clearly they are not worthy of their lives, never mind Internet access.
