Game 1
Well, that was a great Game 1. You have to give Anaheim credit for staying in it and not letting Ottawa's speed and power play get to them too much. Although both Ottawa goals were on the power play, Anaheim came through with defense when it counted.
I also thought that Anaheim's size seemed to wear down the Senators in the second half of the game. Which is not to say the Senators didn't have their chances for a go-ahead goal, or after Anaheim finally grabbed the lead with 3 minutes left, for the tying goal.
Only a great glove save by Giguere with about 5 seconds left sealed the deal.
But this is what two good skating teams can accomplish in a Stanley Cup final. High tempo, high skills hockey. Can't wait for Game 2.
What did y'all see out there tonite?

I saw a great game. It was fast, physical, with great play on both sides of the puck. I think this will be a great series, but I lament that very few will get to enjoy it because it doesn't feature high profile teams. But the talent is there. Some of the greatest players in the NHL are out there and I hope people will give this series a chance. The best thing about it is that I don't care who wins, so I can just enjoy the good action without the anxiety of seeing my team lose.

There is a certain 'comfort' factor when you're not rooting for a specific team.
Though I wouldn't have minded being uncomfortable.
What I root for with Stanley Cup hockey in which I don't have a stake is OVERTIME! The best damn thing in sports, sudden death hockey.
