Check out the Stanleys Angels guys and from what I hear there are tons more in the film. Don't know about the booster club guy but I'm ordering the film cause I saw them filming during the win. film and hockey fan From the website it looks like there are tons of Carolina fans.

I have the unique experience of being a Sabres fan and dating (yes, dating) a Canes fan. For all the things that happened last playoffs, not once did I utter a word that would be construed as not losing with dignity. Yes, it was hard to be happy for her when the Canes won it all and I was mighty jealous, but I understood that someday (hopefully) that I'll be on the other side of the situation, and I wouldn't want legions of fans calling my team "lucky" or "undeserving" or ripping on my fanbase. There's always going to be the bandwagon fans and it's sad that everyone's going to point out that last season was a fluke and all the bandwagoners are going to get off while they still can. Because I know that there are a lot of true Canes fans out there who ARENT invisible right now, and are looking forward to next season. For that, AQ, I salute you. Don't let the detractors get you down, because you have a Cup. Whether it was fluky, lucky, undeserving or not, in the end, the Canes won the Cup and get to have that moment forever. Don't let anything take that away. And I hope the Sabres get to experience that this season. :) I found a link to this through another site and I can’t express enough the class you’re showing right now.

Getting called dirty white trash on countless blogs, at road arenas - even if some Sabres fans are classless on the road - does a lot to shake a man's sense of comraderie throughout the NHL fanbase. Hearing that from Canes fans, who - with the exception of some - are practically invisible at this point, encoruages a significant amount of spite in my celebration. There is always next year, no matter what happens, and this season has been something magical from day one.
