| Although I'm Canadian, GO DUCKS GO! They have more Canadian players on their team than Ottawa does and in my mind that's more Canadian than a team with mostly European players. |

As I anticipated, Anaheim dominated 5-5 play in game 1, and, unless something strange happens, this will continue. The fact is Anaheim is the total package - speed, finesse and power (something the sabes ultimately lacked). If they can stay out of the box, Anaheim will win this series easily.

Your a ****ing idiot. Canada is way better or a hockey country then the U.S.A. WE could kill their hockey team in olymoics and almost nobody in the states watches hockey. So more like it would be a joke for the cup to go to a American city because they don't deserve it.
PS.Atleast we don't bomb people for no reason |

The winner of the Cup deserves it, regardless of what city it's in, because they played well and won it. Enough about "Americans don't watch it you don't deserve it" because without our market there'd hardly be an NHL, so quit complaining.
P.S. Who says bombing terrorists is 'no reason'? That Yugoslavia business was no reason, Clinton's an @sshole, but other than that, you weren't attacked by terrorists so what room do you have to complain about our foreign policy?
That being said, Guest that was a ridiculous comment and you know it's not true. Canadians are not what you described at all. Geez where are the moderators?? |

Although i'm canadian, GO DUCKS GO! They have more candian players on their team anyway. I'd rather see an american team with lots of canadian players on it win than a canadian team with a bunch of european players on it. Plus they're rivals to Toronto.
I know they didn't make it this year, but GO LEAFS GO! |

See, that's the thing Canadians. Would you rather have more Canadian players have their names on the Cup or have it known that a Canadian town has a Cup on their record that was partially won by several European players? (It was Alfredsson who GOT them to the finals anyway). Anaheim may get to say it has a Cup on its record, but it was won primarily by Canadians. Keep that in mind. |

| Ease up on the Canadian/American bashing folks. And there is no need to bring terrorism and foreign policy into the Stanley Cup finals. Further inapproriate posts will be tossed. Thanks! |

Sorry about that admin. I just thought "bombing for no reason" was a little harsh, I didn't want that image to stand. But you're right, it's off topic and doesn't belong here. Sorry.
So to get back on topic, the Senators have a pretty good home record, and I saw a poll on NHL.com asking how many of the Sens' home games would they win; 1, 2, or none. What do you all think? I'm thinking maybe they'll win the next one because they want to get back in the series and they'll have the support of their home fans, but I don't think they can hold up against the Ducks long enough. Anaheim's just too strong. Ottawa's big line of Spezza-Heatley-Alfie hasn't been performing up to par. I don't think the home fans cheering behind them will be enough to tie the series, they need to play better. I'm predicting it'll be 3-1 after the Ottawa games. Then the Ducks will win it back at home. |

Someone forgot to tell Ottawa that they're weren't suppose to be in this series anymore....Go Sens.
Pronger is an idiot and should be suspended for remainder of season.
What a great series so far - I really think Ottawa is going to win this series - but I guess they have to win tonight , but if they can pull it off tonight, I think they'll win in 7 |

I've never understood why TO fans hate Ottawa... besides everyone from TO thinking they live in the centre of the universe.
Maybe if Toronto actually made a final or *gasp* won a Stanley cup in modern times there could be a rivalry.
Oh well, I guess Toronto fans' lot in life is to cheer for a perennial loser.... which goes further to explain their bitterness than anything.
Now that Ottawa has their legs back after the longest layover yet Anaheim is in trouble. Ottawa knows they can win and it's going to be 3 straight to win it in front of the Ottawa fans who deserve it. |

They got their legs back because Pronger was a moron and scored in his own net and the ref called in Ottawa's favor, that was a matter of luck. It wasn't entirely on force. Having said that, Ottawa does want to get back in this and they will play hard. With Pronger suspended, Anaheim is indeed in trouble. I doubt the Sens will win both the next two, even without Pronger the Ducks are strong, but we'll just have to wait and see. |

| To all those Canadian hockey fans that are supporting the Ducks, with the rationalization that they have more Canadian born players than the Sens do, so they are truly Canada's team, I would like to congratulate you for having supported the Ducks all season long for this very same reason. You HAVE been cheering for the Ducks for the past year, haven't you? No? But, they have more Canadian players than any other team in the league! You certainly couldn't support the Leafs or the Habs or the Canucks! That would be hypocritical. Bring it home, Sens! |

Well some are Leafs fans...that's WHY they're not cheering for Ottawa.
And I think, for some Canadian fans, the goal is not to cheer for the team with the most Canadian players all year, they cheer for their home team (Habs, Canucks, etc), and if their home team was in the playoffs or finals they'd still cheer for them. However, if their home team gets kicked out, their second choice is to cheer for the team with most Canadian players. Some see it as more important that a Canadian town gets a Cup on its record, others see it as more important that more Canadian players get their name on the Cup. |

No more "more Canadian" business now, the Cup is on California ice.
The Ducks fought "through the perilous fight" and confetti was "gallantly streaming". |
