Yea, I thought I saw bad officiating in the Buffalo series, but holy fuck was I wrong. THIS was horrible officiating. The goal when Alfredsson fucking kicked it in? All the horrible penalty calls? Fucking horrible.

Whenever the Sens play in Ottawa, the refs suck their dicks and call everything in their favor. At least Anaheim won their games fairly.

I'm having Hockey withdrawals. And they're not pretty. I normally don't care for hockey, but only if the Flames can crush those bastard Edmonton Oilers. I am jonesing for hockey, just to see Edmonton lose again, and embarrass themselves.

For me to die a happy man, Calgary must win 5 Stanley cups. However this is unlikely, as good as Kippersoff was, he's slowing down. And the other players, are nothing but drunk fuckheads. They should really have the option to cut a Player's salary, should they not preform.. But they're tired and old. Lanny MacDonald will never see the Flames win again. Poor old Yo Sammity Sam looking dude! lol.

it wasnt a kick. the officials on the ice thought it was but he directed it in.

are you fucking kidding me? were you blind to all the interferance and boarding penalty's that the Duck's got away with?

clearly you know nothing about hockey if you think that the Ducks were playing honest.
Did you missed the dirty non call elbowing major that Pronger should have gotten yesterday, not to mention the suspension he should get as well

Wow, one call went Anaheim's way compared to all the horrible calls against them. I watched the game on NBC, and I heard nothing but the commentators disagreeing with most of the calls. They said, I quote "that must be a new age penalty right there."

And I don't believe Pronger should have gotten suspended because Chris Neil did the EXACT same thing to Chris Drury, and you didn't see him get suspended. In fact, Lindy Ruff got a fine that game for starting a fight.

maybe you were watching a different game because ALL i heard was the announcers commenting about where the refs were on about 5/6 interferance penalty's that Anaheim were NOT getting called for

and no neil didnt elbow drury in the face. look it up on you tube.

Pronger elbowed mccamond in the face

neil hit drury and he got knocked down. do u see an elbow to the face?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TbZAua6JJ4

watch the replay cause clearly you dont know what ur talking about

Are you kidding me? I clearly see an elbow go up even in that replay.

And stop being the typical Ottawa fan and saying "you don't know what you're talking about" because I in fact do know all the rules of the game. Maybe some of the newest rules that were put in last year I may not completely understand, but I know you can't kick the puck in the net and that you can't elbow people in the face.

And if you watch the replay where Alfredsson kicks the puck in, you see his ankle make a snapping movement, which indicates a kick.

And by the way, Pronger is suspended.

Bullshit because McAmmond fucking milked that for all it was worth. What a fucking faker. That was a joke.

It looks just about over for Ottawa.

I hope there is a hockey riot again! I was just watching the Vancouver Riot on youtube. Wow that looked like fun!

yeah yeah yeah, Ducks win the cup, blah blah blah.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I JUST CAME ALL OVER MY SCREEN, OH GOD YES

The New York Islanders will buy out the remaining four years on captain Alexei Yashin's 10-year contract in the first step of an offseason overhaul they hope will include re-signing Jason Blake and Ryan Smyth.

"It's going to make the team have a different look," coach Ted Nolan said of Yashin's departure in a conference call Wednesday. "Hopefully, we can work something out with (Blake and Smyth). We're trying to assemble a cohesive group here."

but wait wait wait, here's the best part, the part where they rub Millbury's failures in our faces:

Yashin came to the Islanders in a trade with Ottawa after the 2000-01 season . New York signed him to a 10-year contract worth $87.5 million, and the four years left are worth $26.45 million. The Islanders can buy Yashin out by paying two-thirds of the remaining amount ($17.63 million) over the next eight years for a salary-cap hit of about $2.2 million per season.

The Islanders traded top defenseman Zdeno Chara, a first-round pick the Senators used to draft top-line forward Jason Spezza, and Bill Muckalt, on draft day in 2001. Former New York GM Mike Milbury acquired Peca the following day from Buffalo in a two-pronged attempt to change the face of the franchise with a pair of big-name players that had fallen out of favor with their teams.

New York reached the playoffs four times during Yashin's tenure, but never got out of the first round. He had 11 goals and 27 points in 48 postseason games with the Islanders.

Spezza entered Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night with 22 playoff points this year, tied for the NHL lead with Ottawa teammate Dany Heatley.

PEACE OUT YASHIN!

That's so true. Why, just a few minutes ago, Anaheim had won 6-2 against Ottawa. IT'S ALL OVER!!!!! The Ducks have won the 2006/2007 Stanley Cup!

That was how I reacted when I said Ottawa would win in 5 against Buffalo.

*sigh* Another year, another Canadian team fails to bring it home... Calgary and Edmonton did better in their games; they got to Game 7 respectively.

So.... if another different Canadian team was to make it to the Cup Finals in 08, who would you think it be? Montreal, Vancouver, or...Toronto? XD

Actually, it wasn't... it's the best case of sore losers... and I live only an hour and a half from Vancouver too. I may be a Canucks fan, but I was embarassed when that happened. Congrats to the Ducks too 1who won last night.... not my fav team, but they definitely earned it every step of the way. A championship parade or party is fine, but a riot like that is just poor sportsmanship i feel and totally uncalled for. sorry for the rant, but i just had to say it. Enjoy the summer... see all NHL fans back in October... i get hockey again in September as I follow junior hockey more then the professional leagues.

I was being sarcastic!

dammit Flames do better next year! Crush Edmonton. Bring me revenge! my throat is hoarse screaming gibberish (silly superstitions, silly noises, screeching like a monkey kind of sounds) phrases at the TV. More heart stoppers Flames.

Who would have thought the Ducks would make it this far, when they first debuted, they were a sucky team. oh well. Vancouver actually was extremely invincible during the regular season.

Anaheim Ducks All The Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to the Ducks for winning the Stanley Cup. Now we can concentrate on getting set for the next season. Let the awards be dished out and the free agents move around the carousel.

Gentlemen, I give you the start of Silly Season (TM)

BTW, in the 2007/08 season, isn't there a European Division? I've heard rumors of that. And we all know that each team will unveil their new jerseys... except Buffalo and Anaheim of course..

so, best four teams since christmas

guess who they were?

1Sens
2wing
3nucks
4wild

and the Ducks beat 'em all. Toughest road to the cup taken by unquestionably the best team in the league. They earned it to the maxxxxx.

I'm getting a hat.

You're smoking some wierd stuff, I'll give you that. I'd have heard about something as crazy as that, since the NHL would have to lump all 30 US / Canadian teams into one conference and then come up with another 30 teams from out of nowhere.

The league's new CBA can't cope with that, trust me!

If anything, the NHL needs to get rid of some teams. Several places can't support their team, namely Phoenix.

Well I know that the Ducks Kings first game will take place somewhere in western Europe (I forget exactly). Also, all the teams are getting new logos?

Also am I missing something or is Liles no longer playing for the avs?

Again, nothing about that on NHL.com or the Avs official site.

I don't know. He isn't listed on the Yahoo Sports depth chart for the Avs, yet individually it says he's on the team. I may just be acting like a complete idiot today though.

Also I would like to say that I called the ducks winning the Stanley Cup.

W00T! Another double post!

I usually like to back up stories that I find with either links or state that this was reported by [website / source name]. It just saves confusion.

Hmm, must be a glitch in the Yahoo system.
