You bastard.
Here I was, holding out hope for an all-Canadian final, and you have to come along and shatter my delusions.

[sob] I'm gonna go write in my diary now.

I'm as surprised as anybody. No one expected them to beat Colorado, let alone make it this far.

I was so not surprised to see the Wild beat the Avs -- I had picked the Wild to get into the finals back in October, and I watched every game they played against the Avs.

The two "ugly duckling"/"Cinderella" teams in the Western Conference playoff both embody what I feel hockey should be all about: teamwork, hard work, individual skills, enthusiasm for the game, etc. etc. (notice "money" isn't on that list?).

I really like the fact that none of the original six, and only one of the traditional power-houses (the Devils) has made it this far -- these are the most exciting playoffs in years!

Besides, I think the "burned" Wings, Stars, and Avs will come back stronger and perhaps with slightly purer hearts next year! It's all good for the sport!

Let's take a look at the leader board. Ducks are up in the series 2-0 and Giguere has shut out the Minnesota Mild for 6 periods. You're doomed! GO DUCKS!

I've been a Wild fan since about 1/3 into last year's season (2001).
They're my 2nd favorite team behind the Florida Panthers.
I didn't even expect them to make the playoffs this year.
I'm for them all the way, but if Anaheim wins the West, I'm for the Ducks then to win the Cup.

Vancouver choked worse then Kent Hovind at a deposition.

I was really looking forward to a Vancouver-Ottawa final. Now I have to hold my breath to see if Ottawa makes it through.

Please don't put New Jersey in another final.

I was rooting for Ottawa, but on a hockey board I frequent a Sens fan started bad-mouthing the Wild, so he's forced me to root for New Jersey.

I agree -- any team combination that doesn't include New Jersey -- except that Martin Brodeur would be amazing in a face-off against Giguere!

On the other hand, a final with Chara in it would also be great fun!
