And the winner is....

The (Mighty) Ducks have won the Stanley Cup.

Excuse me while i sit over here and gag for a moment...

...

Okay.

The Ducks beat the Ottawa Senators in 5 games to win their first Stanley Cup. The Sens didn't seem to even show up, getting routed 6-2 in the clincher.

Chris Pronger was suspended for a second time in as many series for game 4 from a blow to the head of a Sen - not sure which, sorry.

Scott Neidermayer won the Con Smyth for Most Valuable Player. Remember, the last time they made the finals, back in 2003, Giguere won the Con Smyth for being the most underrated player in the playoffs.

I still hate Pronger - i didn't watch the end of the game, but i can only assume that that girl hoisted that beautiful trophy up and over his head like that rest of the team. Him touching the cup? I rank that up there with Pam Anderson's ass on it back in 02 when Kid Rock still thought she was hot. I am thankful though that he finally put some glasses on before she gave birth to his baby... Anyway - way off topic. Where was i? Oh yeah. I hate Chris Pronger.

I guess its good that the team that beat the Wings went and won the Cup. And Hurrah for the Neidermayers to win the Stanley Cup together and be able to share it with their mother, who has obviously not taught them any kind of independence, that neither of them could be seperated from thier brother without fear of bleeding to death. Weirdo's. They even share the same beard - short of mr. grey whiskers not found on the face of younger Rob. *Shiver* There is such a thing as TOO close, you guys.

So concludes another hockey season. Short of the awards next week, I'll update the happenings around my team - and the league if my give a shit permits. Until then, I bid Adieu...

Round 3, Game 6 - Detroit 3, Anaheim 4

It all comes down to this.

I will update at intermissions, but there will be no live blog this game. It's too important to worry about who wins which face off, what time that goal might have been scored or who's going off for which (bullshit) penalty.

I want to watch... and I'll update at intermission.

I had the ducks picked in 6. I wish for anything to be wrong.

I already feel sick.

End of First Period.

Anaheim won the opening face off, and scored short handed just under 4 minutes in.

Detroit came out playing horribly, just as i suspected.

Each team has had 2 penalties. Holmstrom for tripping and Lidstrom for interference with under a minute left. So Anaheim will start the second with a power play. Great. *eye roll*

Marchant also got a tripping call. And the team received a too many men penalty, neither power play was scored on. By the Wings anyway. It was during Marchant's penalty that Rob Neidermayer scored the only goal of the game.

Shots are 14 - 7 for Anaheim.

Halfway:

Score is 2-0 Anaheim

We've gotten 3 shots on net this period. Can't score if we don't have shots. So i guess we won't be scoring.

It was a good Season. Thanks you guys, for 6 extra weeks of Hockey. I love you and I'll miss you. See you in October...

Shouldn't we get something for 3rd?

Okay, Ladies. Last Blog for the Red Wings for the season. I'm not going to continue to feel horrible while i tell you what's going on.

The Effs have beaten the Wings. Shots are 13 - 26. This one is over, as is the season.

See you in the finals. Go Ottawa!

Detroit did attempt a late game comeback, scoring 3 goals in the 3rd period, but it wasn't enough. Better things could have happend if the Effs had called some of the penalties at the end of the game - like with 32 seconds left and we have a guy getting dryhumped in front of the net so badly that he can't stand up... Ironically, that's the time when the ref's shouldn't be calling penalties... they should be allowing the game to be won or lost based on talent alone. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case in game 5, when the Effs gaveDatsyuk on a fluke interference penalty allowing the last 2 minutes of the game to be played with a 2 man advantage down low and score the tying goal in the final minute to take it to overtime. If your going to call them at the end of one game, you should at the end of all games.

To late now. I lothe the thought of Chris Pronger getting his name on the Stanley Cup... about as much as i Lothe Pamela Anderson in a picture with her ass on it. Slut. I hope she dies. Someone want to hit her in the chest with a hockey puck... oh wait, you might want to aim further up like her throat or face, because she's got some ginormus ugly fake breasts that the puck will either deflect off or be consumed by.

GO OTTAWA!!!

Live Blog - Round 3, Game 5 - Detroit 1, Anaheim 2

(Look at these beautiful swedes! Franzen, Kronwall, Lilja, Zetterberg, Samuelsson, Lidstrom & Holmstrom. This could make for a great dream)

Gameday, Boys. We're back home. We're good at home. We've been tied at 2 before... And won.

Chris Pronger: "he's quite a bit shorter than me. It's just law of physics."

Are you kidding me? Then lower your elbows, you fuckface.

Tomas Holmstrom: "You've seen him do that before, so I'm not surprised he did it again."

Dominik Hasek: "If he said anything like that, it's a shame because it was a clear hit to Tomas' head. Pronger, he knew exactly what he was doing."

When asked Saturday about comments he made on Friday about the officiating, the reason he was suspended and the hit on Homer, his response was, "I'm not going to rehash what was said long ago. I need to focus on the game and not worry about what you guys want or don't want me to say."

Chris Pronger is a jackass. He knows as much about physics as he does about time. Yesterday was entirely TOO long ago to talk about today. Moron. Someone needs to skate him in the groin and say "It's physics. I'm quite abit shorter than that idiot."

I'm nervous about this game. We need to shoot a lot and not take bad penalties. Our passes need to be clean. And we need to hit. You know they will.

I think Anaheim will win in 6. Ottawa in 5.
