As reported by Yahoo.com's hockey blog Puck Daddy May 14, Game 7 in the NHL's Eastern Conference Semi-finals between the Boston Bruins and the Carolina Hurricanes has a WWE connection.
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair's association with the Hurricanes is well-established, as the now-retired Superstar's trademark "WOO!" and Jumbotron appearances are hallmarks of the RBC Center experience. He's also sounded the "Hurricane Warning" siren at their home games. So the Bruins, who face the Hurricanes at home in Game 7 of their semifinal series, had only one recourse: Harness the energy of their own wrestling icon ... former World Tag Team Champion Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.
