Ducks win! I only saw the last few minutes of the game. Haven't watched a hockey game for nearly 20 years, but I still love the game. Just haven't watched the sport for some reason. I remember a few weeks, or maybe a month or so ago when I heard that Detroit would win it all, hands down. I've never been a fan of the Ducks or the Red Wings, but I was rooting for those Mighty Ducks to win just because of what I read/heard. The last time I watched hockey religiously was when Butch Goring played. Been a while!

DAMMIT! Wish I hadn't hit refresh. Had the game paused for dinner. Was just about to hit play again.

Carolina is underrated. They are now tied 1 - 1 with Boston.

Go Rangers! Wha! Who whooped them? LOL
The last hockey game I saw in person was one of our home town games, forget what the name of the team was, but they, the Winston Salem team, was playing my old minor league team, the Quad City Mallards, here in WS. I even forget who won that game, but it just wasn't all that good. Since that time, Winston Salem has had three or maybe four different teams and just lost the last one. And my beloved QC Mallards are also gone, but they had a great run from what I've heard. As for the top teams, my first venture into professional hockey came in the early 80's when I was on strike with the UAW and working with my father in OKC. Went to a couple of the minor league team there who was affiliated with the Minnesota North Stars and was hooked. When I got back to the QC, I started watching hockey, mostly on the USA network, but also on ESPN and rooted for the North Stars. That year they went to the Stanley Cup finals against the Islanders. After that year, I became an Islander fan, but before you say, oh he was just a band wagon jumper, know that most of the games that I saw on TV at that time involved the Islanders. After a few years, and lots of memories of Billy Smith, I became a Ranger fan, again because the majority of the games I saw featured them. Hard to believe that I was never a Black Hawk fan and rarely saw them play. I have been a fan of Chicago teams for years, but this one was never one of my favs.
In my opinion, hockey is about like boxing in it's heyday, some thirty years ago. Both of them are very exciting, but without the marketing, they both languish at the bottom of the popularity without good reason.
Billy Smith... "Stay out of my crease!" I love it!

I like the Red Wings, but I'm not a very avid watcher myself.

This is going 7 seven games, I think it will come down to who has the hottest goalie. Carolina is going to be tough that is for sure!
