Congratulations to the new champions of hockey, the Anaheim Ducks!! This is their first franchise cup win, and the first west coast cup win! Also, congratulations to Scott Niedermayer, the MVP!!

It was sweet seeing Teemu crying.
Ottawa kept us on our toes the whole series.

Thanks. Class act all the way.
It almost doesn't seem fair that I've only been a hockey fan for 4 years and now my team wins the Cup. But I now love the game and playoff hockey is right up there with any post season in sports and that is coming from a diehard Football and Basketball fan since birth. I feel privileged that I discovered this great game and I look forward to being a Ducks fan for the rest of my life. And I don't plan on missing a Stanley Cup Final for the rest of my life either, no matter who is playing. I just bought the T-shirt, DVD, Pennant, and Championship Puck online :lol:. I never thought I'd be buying hockey merchandise 5 years ago.
BTW for any Ducks fans wanting the DVD, get it at Deep Discount and not on Shop.NHL.com. It's about 8 bucks cheaper and with free shipping.

Oooooo, I want some!! :lol:
How did you become a Ducks fan? I've been wondering since you don't live in SoCal.

Plain and simple. Sure they don't own the team anymore, but it's a hometown team to a Disney park. That's also why I'm a diehard Orlando Magic fan. Orlando is a little different than Anaheim in that I've been so many times, it almost feels like home. And 3 weeks from today, I'll be spending my first night ever in Anaheim at the Disneyland Hotel. June 2007 is going to be one of the best months ever.

*goes and grabs my parent's credit card*I have to have the puck and pennant! Especially the pennant to add to my Angels and Lakers ones.
Thank you for the links!

DL got a reference in ESPN.com's front page blurb.
"Stanley's Cup has found a new home: Southern California. Anaheim finished off Ottawa in Game 5 Wednesday night, beating the Sens 6-2 to bring hockey's Holy Grail to the land of Hollywood, Mickey and new NHL champs."

There must be a curse on the Cup against cold-weather teams. Tampa Bay in 2004, Carolina in 2006, and how Anaheim in 2007. Must be Atlanta's turn next year.

And all against Canadian teams (CAL, EDM, OTT)
Maybe the Thrashers will beat the Maple Leafs next year. :lol:

You were rooting for the sabres as well earlier in the season and last season, how did that come about?

Bills fan :ROFLOL:
So they are sort of a secondary team, but Anaheim has been my number 1 ever since I started watching. But yeah I would love to see the Sabres win one soon, just make it on a year that Anaheim isn't playing against them in the finals.
I know it kinda looks like I'm bandwagoning by pulling for the Ducks first and the Sabres as a distant secondary team, but they just both happen to be very good right now.

I don't think anybody was implying that at all.
(By the way, can I have your Hurricanes stuff from a year ago? Since you're probably not using it anymore.) :lookaroun

Does anyone know who wins the cup most often - the western or eastern conference?

The East-West format has only been in place since the '93-'94 season, and the West has a slight edge in finals, 7-6.
Prior to the current alignment, teams that are currently in the Eastern Conference won 20 out of 26 finals from the '67 expansion until the realignment in '93. That's not necessarily a fair comparison, though, because of the different alignments and bracketing formats used prior.
