Well, well, well my friends. It looks like the mayors of Raleigh and Pittsburgh have a friendly little wager on the Hurricanes-Penguins East Conference Finals matchup. Our local beer and grub for theirs. Let’s hope they enjoy the BBQ and beer…although the Canes are down 1-0.
Mayor Meeker placed 10 pounds of The Pit’s Carolina chopped barbecue and a case of Big Boss Raleigh-brewed beer that the Carolina Hurricanes will wrest the Prince of Wales Cup from the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins are the 2008 Eastern Conference champions.
Mayor Ravenstahl countered with five pounds of Isaly’s chipped chopped ham, three dozen pierogies and a case of Iron City beer.
(We know that the photo above shows the Stanley Cup and not the Price of Wales Cup…...There’s a little hopefulness in the Classic Concentration inspired graphic. Hurricanes + Prince of Wales Cup = Stanley Cup Finals. Maybe always painting inside the lines is mandatory for some, but we love scribbling in the margins.)
