Go Ducks! I'm afraid to even post this! Please, no stalkers!

Bye, bye Detroit. Might as well have finsihed last in the league during reglar season.

Ha ha! Red Wing fans better not hold your breaths for another Stanley Cup. You definitely won't win next year. Hee, hee.

Those conference trophies have got to be the stupidest ones going.

"Yeah. Ok, where's the Stanley Cup?"

Like a lick and a promise. Not even.

I could say a lot of things right now... like... how Ottawa wasn't going to able to handle a physical defensive team, or how Emery wasn't going to be able to maintain his composure, or how experience can lift a team to victory... I could say those things, but I won't.

What I will say is that Ottawa played well.

The down side?

It might be the best game that you're going to see out of them. Anaheim had a sloppy game, and they didn't play like they wanted to win.

I could go on and on about the shots on goal (32-20 in favor of Anaheim), or about how Giguere stood on his head when the team needed him to, or how the two goals that he did let in weren't his fault.

But the most telling statistic of the entire game? Ottawa scored both of their goals during the power play, and were completely outplayed when it was 5 on 5. Hell, they couldn't even get a goal during a 5 on 3, but then again, that isn't Ottawa's fault, Giguere is known for his acrobatics... too bad Emery isn't.

-belch-

Game 2 is coming next... Ottawa is probably going to win it, but not because they deserve it, but because I predict Anaheim is going to let them have it just like they almost let them have this one.

Another game or two of Anaheim's physical play (oh, and by the way, Ottawa really, really doesn't like playing a physical team, very evident during the game) and Ottawa is going to buckle.

*beep* the East. Bring the cup home Anaheim.

LeBron is a mentally weak superstar. Clearly LeBron James is deflating his offensive skill with the amount of energy it takes to guard him on the other side of the court. He could just be sucking, but watching the series thus far it seems like he is getting worn down. Right he is still a marquee player--one of the faces of the league. But that's one of things that suck about the NBA. Hamilton played tight defence on a guy that is much bigger than him and the guy missed the shot. mentally, LeBron seems kind of like a child playing a man's game. The last game he simply didn't do his job. Then he made a decision, and passed during his drive to the hole. He got ridiculed for it. This time he does what everyone wanted him to do the first game and he misses the shot. He doesn't even react like he was fouled and once the Pistons get the ball, the fucking tears start pouring. That's right, he didn't get the "Jordan" call this time and he doesn't deserve to get. Rip had good position for the drive, but to me it looked like he raked lebrons arms during that spin move. Im fine with a nocall, but i can see where the complaints are coming from. But I just don't think Mike Brown can get it done as a coach. Barkley and Magic were going off on the "team" for trying to get Ilgouskis involved in the offense in the 2nd half. Barkley kept saying "They had a 12 point lead! You don't need to get Z involved. You have a 12 point lead!" And Charles is right. Whatever, the Cavs were doing in the 2nd quarter was working. They scored 34 in the 2nd and 26 for the rest of the game. You don't go away from something that is working. Not in the regular season and CERTAINLY not in the PLAYOFFS. Regardless, the Cavs were out played and out coached in crunch time.
