The 2007 Stanley Cup Finals will pit the Ottawa Senators against the Anaheim Ducks. Both teams are looking for their first ever NHL championship, and the series will start Monday night. The Ducks will have home ice advantage, according to the NHL. Who do you like to win it all this season, Ottawa or Anaheim?

I guess i'll be the first Sen hater to say, Go Ducks.
Ottawa is fast and they shoot well.
Giguere is hot - but Emery is right behind him in GAA - and the Ducks are big and powerful.
I go for the Ducks. They get home ice advantage, too.

Five reasons/questions why I'm digging the Senators:

Does ice exist naturally in Anaheim, other than during the Ice Age?

Wasn't there an Emilio Estevez movie about the ducks?

Are the ducks owned by Disney? Andy McDonald Duck?!

Does the city of Anaheim even get the games on Versus?

What is the Spanish word for Hockey?

I'll answer all those

1. yes at the Honda Center, Anaheim Ice and other rinks around Anaheim
2. Yes there was a Disney movie many years ago with Estevez
3. NO THERE OWNED BY THE SAMUELIES
4. Yes Time Warner Cable has Versus
5. Why would it matter its Anaheim not LA

oh and Ducks in 5

[ThePundit]

I really think Anaheim is the best team out there right now, so I'll take those Ducks in 7 games.

I'm surprised they're playing 2-2-1-1-1 and not 2-3-2.

[blueandwhite]

i think 2-2-1-1-1 is the norm for the nhl.

[Hockey News]

Ducks making second appearance in finals in four seasons. A team from the West Coast hasn't won the Stanley Cup since Victoria of the Western Canada Hockey League captured it against Montreal in 1925 - two years before NHL clubs exclusively began playing for it... Daniel Alfredsson has scored a playoff-leading 10 goals in 15 playoff games, including four on Ottawa's power play that has connected 14 times in 70 opportunities. The Senators captain has played in all 94 postseason contests in franchise history and has netted the winning goal in four of the club's 12 playoff wins this year. The native of Sweden is the first European captain to reach the Stanley Cup finals... The city of Ottawa is seeking its first Cup title since the original Senators franchise won in 1927.

i remember the amazing post-season the Ducks goalie had the last time ....... Giguere wasnt it ?

[blueandwhite]

yeah everyone was talking about him last time, and then he went under for a while, not so hot. good to see him back.

[blueandwhite]

this is on nhl.com:
Chris Chelios admitted recently the reason he didn't shake hands with the Ducks following Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals was because he didn't feel he could control his emotions out there. He said he meant no disrespect by it and that if he could go back in time, he would shake their hands.
Perhaps Chelios' real reason for not shaking hands is because those guys have some monstrous mitts. Perhaps he likes his right arm right where it is - still attached to his body.

Staff writers there are saying Ducks are big and scary - that's been my thought all along, that Ottawa is fast and sharp but the ducks have something over them - they are big guys, plus skilled.But this also shows Chelios for who i think he is, and why i don't like him much - what a maroon. who cares if you couldn't control your emotions? Grow up and shake hands, you big jerk. Be the Big Man. It's the way things are done.

The Anaheim Ducks lead 4-2 in Game 5. They're now just 20 minutes away from winning the Stanley Cup!

[chilltown]

I didn't hear anyone on the ducks say "I'm going to Disneyland"

[blueandwhite]

YES!!
I have a doctor's appointment but when i get back, more on that win.
Sens gave in. the goal on Emery by his own defenseman was just sad.
