Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I haven't been around much over the past several days.
The Ducks hung on tonight to beat the Red Wings 4-3 and win the Western Conference Finals 4-2.
For the third year in a row we'll have a Canadian team verus a "non-traditional hockey market." And for the third year in a row I think the "non-traditional hockey market" will take the cup home. And yes, I'm bitter and would be miserable if the Sens end their drought while the Sabres and Leafs continue to suffer. And yes, I think it would be a great slap in the face to the bandwagon fans who just want to see the Cup back in Canada. But in all honesty I believe the Ducks are a better team than the Senators up and down the line-up. Granted, I thought that about the Sabres too but Anaheim has something Buffalo didn't have...Chris Pronger. Chris Pronger is a true difference maker and a real shut-down guy. Pronger and O'Donnell along with Moen, Pahlsson and Rob Niedermayer can stop the Spezza, Heatley, Alfredsson line. Ottawa's work ethic and incredible will to win has pushed them this far, I just don't think it's enough to beat the (Mighty) Ducks of Anaheim.
