ottawa beat buffalo in double overtime today to take a 2-0 lead in the series.

[iamstarwars]

I just watched the last 5 minutes of the regular time. That goal in the last seconds was pretty cool.

[nettiemoore]

going to watch the anaheim vs detroit game today. cheering for detroit to win this game and take a 2-0 lead in the series.

[nettiemoore]

ottawa is now only one win away from reaching the finals. they won 1-0 today in game three with their captain alfredsson getting the goal. i think it would be great if they could reach the finals.

I went to the Vancouver Giants v Lewiston Maineiacs Memorial Cup game yesterday. For those who may not know, the Memorial Cup is sort of like the NCAA basketball finals but for Junior Hockey in Canada . It was one of the best hockey games I have seen in years - very fast paced and exciting. The Giants trailed 1-0 for most of the game but Panther's draft pick, Kendall McArdle tied it halfway through the third, and Bruins prospect, Wacey Rabbit, scored the winner after the Giants laid seige to the Maineiaces net. Kings prospect, Jonathan Bernier, in the Lewiston nets kept them in the game - he could really be one to watch. Anyway, I picked up tickets for the final next week in anticipation of the Giants being there.

im a pretty big devils fan even though i live in southern california.

i went to a stanley cup game when they played the ducks a few years back.

and its all about those Long Beach Ice Dogs for the ECHL.

With the finals starting tomorrow I thought it might be interesting to see who is supporting who around here. I am going for Ottawa, A) because even though there are more Canadians on the Ducks, Ottawa is at least in Canada and because they are the anti-Leafs, and having Ottawa reach the finals must be just killing the Leafs fans.

BTW - as follow up to my previous post regarding the Memorial Cup, I went the the final game today between the Vancouver Giants and the Medicine Hat Tigers. Great intense game between these two teams that have a massive rivalry having just met in the Western Hockey League finals. The Giants pulled it out in the dying minutes of the third to win their first Memorial Cup. This is a great day for Vancouver hockey fans.

[nettiemoore]

im watching game one of the finals right now. right now tied 2-2 with less than five minutes to go in the third.

[nettiemoore]

anaheim got the win tonight. 3-2 with moen scoring with less than five minutes in the third...

[angrypork]

Ducks!

[nettiemoore]

yeah got to give credit to the ducks for capturing their first stanley cup in franchise history.

[julianREE]

good game, ducks definetly deserved to win. the sens duck themselves into a hole in the second with stupid penalties. congrats to the ducks for being the first west coast hockey team to win in a long time. (maybe now we'll get SOME respect...)

i don't think scott niedermeyer should've gotten the conn symthe though, mcdonald or pahlsson would've been my choice.

[buffalocloud7]

ducks def played a better game but i am still somehow upset...is it cuz of scotties betrayal all those years ago? is it cuz i just have something against the disney thing? is cuz i secretly want to marry ryan miller? who can tell. they won it fair and square though.

[nettiemoore]

nhl awards tonight-hopefully luongo will get the vezina.

nhl awards tonight-hopefully luongo will get the vezina.

Doesn't sound like anyone outside of Vancouver is giving the Canucks any chance of bringing home any awards tonight. Seems like a longshot at best.

Well what do you know - Vigneault actually won. It is too bad Brodeur had such a huge year otherwise Roberto would have been a shoe-in.

yeah its nice for AV, im glad he got the jack adams. i think he and quinn are the only two canucks coaches who have won this award.

[nettiemoore]

hey ordo what are your thoughts on another team coming to canada, would you like it if the preds were moved to hamilton?

[Kasper]

Well what do you know - Vigneault actually won. It is too bad Brodeur had such a huge year otherwise Roberto would have been a shoe-in.

it's weird that vigneault is enjoying so much success in Vancouver cause he was such an bad coach when he was in montreal. when the canucks gave him the job, everyone here was like, he's never gonna, gonna suck etc. well, i guess good for him.

i'M pretty excited about canada getting another team. with the new nhl, couple more canadian cities could now afford to get their own team. i'd love to see teams moving back to quebec city and winnipeg, i'd be really awesome.

wasnt he a nominee for the jack adams one year though when he was a coach for the canadiens?

[Kasper]

you're right, i had totally forgotten about that. but i still don't understand how he got a nomination that year, we didn't even make the playoff (we actually didn't make the player 2 year out of 3 he was coach).
