A Stanley Cup victory by the Carolina Hurricanes will blow one of my old theories for a second consecutive season.

WEBSITE MAYHEM
If you click on selltheknicks.com, you can buy T-shirts urging James Dolan to sell the team. Among the T-shirts: Sell or Die; Stop Sucking; And a third one that is somewhat profane. Dolan, who had little sense and even less sense of humour, has filed papers trying to make the website disappear.
