Congratulations to the Anaheim Ducks for beating the Ottawa Senators 6-2 in game 5 of the finals to win the Stanley Cup.
I thought it was a tremendously fun series to watch from the sidelines. Even though Ottawa never seemed to be able to finish when they needed to the action was great, and for two teams that almost never play each other the familiarity and animosity built through the whole series. And the fans in both arenas totally into it for all 5 games.
A sampling of some recent photos, bookmarks and news stories I've flagged elsewhere with this tag.
The NHL is working with the Yankees' high command and representatives of the city to try to play a game at Yankee Stadium next winter. While there are plenty of logistical hurdles to clear, the principals are interested.
The Ottawa Senators announced on Thursday goaltender Ray Emery had been assigned to the AHL for a two-game conditioning stint. Emery will make starts against the Syracuse Crunch on Friday and the Hershey Bears on Saturday.
The NHL regular season hasn't even commenced yet and we are already forced to re-open the debate on heads shots, thanks to Steve Downie's devastating hit on Dean McAmmond.
There's no telling what Steve Downie did to his chances of making the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night, but it's a certainty that he won no friends on the Ottawa Senators.
