Rawk the Puck! Championship Hootenanny

Here we are, thankfully finally the moment we've all been waiting for: the championship final hootenanny in the first Rawk the Puck! tournament, and in keeping with any Cup final, it's the venerable against the venerated, grizzle against grunge, either against or, or something like that. First, though, here's your winners -- a bobblehead goes out to Raptors HQ, and a CD to Sean -- and the results that got it done at the penultimate hurdle:

Toronto Star

Chris Cornell: Meeting with the Boss.

CONFERENCE FINALS

Classic Rawk Conference

Sympathy for the DEVIL, Rolling Stones (*New Jersey Devils*) 12, Night of the LONG KNIVES, AC/DC (*Buffalo Sabres*) 3

Indie Rawk Conference

Black STAR, Radiohead (*Dallas Stars*) 8, EARTHQUAKE Weather, Beck (*San Jose Sharks*) 7

That means it's the Stars and the Devils into the final. The panel will weigh in by the end of the week and finally it will come down to you to vote on which side you come down: Classic, or Indie. Give them a listen, look at those lines on the bench that provide the depth, and vote, with one more bobblehead and a CD to go out to some lucky balloter. Here they are, the final two:

RAWK the PUCK! CUP FINAL

ATLANTIC CITY (Live), Bruce Springsteen (Classic Rawk Conference Champion *New Jersey Devils* b-w Sympathy for the DEVIL, Rolling Stones; Handsome DEVIL, the Smiths; and DEVIL to Pay, Johnny Cash)

vs.

Black Hole SUN, Soundgarden (Indie Rawk Conference Champion *Dallas Stars* b-w Black STAR, Radiohead; STARman, David Bowie; and STAR Sign, Teenage Fanclub)

Bruce? Is he still alive? Teaming with the Stones? What's the collective age there, 827?

Chris Cornell removes shirt, opens lungs and DESTROYS old man Springsteen. 3-0 -- Boss comes down with a bad case of "the shakes" and forfeits final game.
