Teemu Selanne made me cry!!! I am so happy for him. The Duck deserved to win. They played well all year. It wasn't a fluke. Happy for the Niedermeyer brothers this time around. It had to be so much easier on mom and dad with them playing on the same team!

Wow! What a game! Where were the Sens tonight? This is the first year my 8-yr old stayed up to see the hoisting of the Cup, and it was fun seeing the excitement on her face. She'd said, at the start of game one of this series, that the Ducks would win it. I'm taking her to the race track this weekend to pick the Belmont winner...lol eta-Great series play by both teams...great hockey!

it really was a great game & i am happy for the team especially selanne. he has played 15 years & no cup. and how nice for the niedermayers, last time the ducks played in the stanley cup (2003) they lost to the devils & there was one brother on each team. it was a great series, great season. now i have to wonder what will happen to the ticket prices?? we still will get our mini-plan but i am willing to bet the tickets are costlier

Hate to see the Sens go out on a rather lacklustre effort but the Ducks were totally dominant tonite and certainly deserved the win. I too was so very happy for Teemu after so many years. He is probably one of the most gifted puck handlers to ever play the game and he skated like he had the legs of a young kid tonite. Congrats to the Ducks and all their fans.

Dang. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Those Ducks put up the good fight, and deserve to hoist the cup tonight. As a hockey fan, as a Canadian, I'm pi**ed that we couldn't pull it together. I've been waiting my whole hockey life to see Canada bring the cup home (last time a Canadian team won the cup, I was 12, totally not interested in hockey) and really thought that with three teams making the Playoff Season, one of them could make it all the way and win it for us. Good job, Ducks. And as a consolation to all the Sens fans, just remember the argument that there are more Canadians playing for Anaheim than Ottawa, therefore, the Ducks are really the team Canada should be cheering for. Only 3 1/2 more months until a new season begins. Go !!

Well, it's officially free agent season...and a sad sad day in Hockeytown. Mattieu Scheider just signed with Annaheim Ducks. *sob*.

"Briere signed an eight-year, $52 million contract, immediately becoming the fresh face of the retooled Philadelphia Flyers." Hockey News Well, there goes one of the Sabres co-captains!

Well, Drury is going to the Rangers. It will be interesting to see what kind of team the Sabres will be this coming season.

The Rangers landed both Drury and Gomez. My Goodness they must be dancing in the streets! On the bright side, Todd Bertuzzi has departed Hockeytown and is head to the Ducks. (Thank you Mr. Holland!) Say hi to Matthieu for me! And Robert Lang has signed with the Blackhawks. Geez...I hate good byes.

I miss hockey. I bought a new jersey with my pool winnings at the end of last season, and haven't been able to wear it. How many more months now 'til the new season?...

I'm with you, Karen. October is just around the corner! OK, so it a BIG corner, but it's coming soon. Most of our ECHL team has left and gone to Europe, so it promises to be an interesting season. Can't wait!

Karen, now that pre-season has started, sport your jersey with pride! Me, I wear my jerseys (should we still call them "sweaters"?) year-round...hockey or not. Also, Karen, since you're a Leafs fan, what can you tell me about Peca? Seems like the Jackets got him a couple of weeks ago, and all they said was that he broke his leg last year. I think I remember seeing the hit (nasty).

Ooh! Activity in the Hockey thread! I was coming in here to say that I got my selection sheet for my pool today, so the real season must be just around the corner. No more of these BIG corners Kstme talks about. Real corners. I saw on the news today the Canucks had their first exhibition game. Missed the outcome. Bluejax, I wish I could wear my jersey. I really, really do. I can't even come up with a good analogy for what it would mean for me, in Vancouver, to wear a Leafs jersey in public. Imagine, maybe, the largest contingent of anti-Bush supporters you can find, and throw me into the mix with an "I Bush" t-shirt. Seriously, coast to coast, the Leafs are hated. I'd get my ass kicked. We went to the Vancouver / Toronto game a few years back, and just about got ourselves in a fight after the game... and we were doing nothing but leaving the stadium in our blue and white. Don't get me wrong, I love hockey, and I love Vancouver, but if you don't cheer "Canucks" in this city, you're a goner. Doesn't stop a gal from cheering, though. As for Peca... he's alright, I suppose. He's no superstar, but he was never really given a chance to prove otherwise. As for the injury, I can't help you there. I'm an armchair viewer... I love the team and I wish them well, but I miss a lot in the stats and standings sometimes. Sorry I can't be more help.

NHL board of governors finally agree change is needed for schedule Woo Hoo!! I called it, right after we came back from the strike with this blasted new schedule. I knew there was no way the fans would put up with seeing the same two teams play each other eight times in two weeks, and not see some of their favourite teams at all. Finally, the NHL commishes have decided that maybe a change in the schedule is needed. Won't be in time for this season, but the 08-09 season will see each team play each team at least once. Duh. How on earth did they think the schedule would work this way? Surely they must have known the fans would revolt and they'd eventually end up right here, eating crow and changing the schedule.

Karen, I know what you mean about wearing your jersey in an "unfriendly town"...lol I was born and raised in Columbus, OH, and was a Buckeye fan for my first 20 years. About 25 years ago I got sickened by the football program and I've been wearing my Michigan gear ever since. Talk about hate! DH is a diehard Suckeye fan, so I finally compromised and got a block M/block O flag that says 'house divided'. Back to NHL, my Jackets are 2-2 in preseason! I think hell is starting to freeze over...lol

Hockey is back, alright. My Leafs have won zero in two games against Ottawa. What better way of proving that hockey is back than with the Leafs losing two, back to back? It's nice to have an excuse to drink beer on a Thursday afternoon, though. (All the games I watch have a 4pm start.)

Tonight is our season opener for the LV Wranglers. What can I say, I'm excited! Thekid, my dd, now has me watching 4 teams. Not sure I'm keeping all the players straight, but this almost guarantees hockey seven nights a week! All west coast teams...the Sharks, Ducks, Canucks and Kings. The Canucks are still my favorite, though.
