If anyone does not know the Stanley Cup Finals are going on. If you get to a chance to watch any of the games I would. You will see some of the best hockey! The 2 teams that made it to the final are the Anaheim Duck and the Ottawa Senators. After the Senators beat the Penguins I grew to hate them. Not just because they beat the Pens, but because Emery is rubbish and throughout the playoff’s he has barely been tested. The Senator’s block so many shots it’s crazy. Pucks hardly get to Emery and if they do he usually has a hard time with them. I mean he has stepped it up a little bit because of the playoff’s, but there are way better goaltenders in the league. But of course goaltending does not win you a Stanley Cup. The Ottawa offense is good, but hit them a few times and they wear down.

That’s what happened in game 1 on Monday night. The Ducks came out hard and punished the Ottawa forwards, especially Daniel Alfredsson and Jason Spezza who were both a -1 in game 1. Jason Spezza missed quite a few passes during the game, she definitely was shaken up. Alfredsson has a turn over that almost ended up as a goal. The Ducks came to play and their plan was simple punish them and play hard. I wish the penguins would have done this, Alfredsson barely got touched during our series against them. Although Colby Armstrong laid out Patrick Eaves. To read a funny recap of game 1 check out the pens blog.

So it’s on to game 2, hopefully the Ducks can keep up the strong play and come out with a win tonight to go into Ottawa 2 game to 0. We will just have to see, Go Ducks!
