Congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes, who won the Stanley Cup last night. And congrats, too, to NRO’s own John Miller, who fearlessly predicted the ‘Canes victory — and by almost the right score (it was 3-1 instead of John’s 3-2 prognostication).

BTW, since human beings are notable for their opposable thumbs and tool-using ability, it follows that stick-wielding hockey players are obviously more advanced than their hand-impaired soccer counterparts.
