Boy, looks like I forgot to stop by here and say congrats to my
Ducks for making the Finals!

Congrats to the
Wild as well for finally squeeking one past Giguere!

Hope we see the Sen's in the Finals, since they've never won it all either. Devils are old and tired news...
Hope Jiggy stays equally as torrid throughout the Finals, and we don't see a ten-year SoCal anniversary repeat performance like the Kings had when they (and Gretzky) got swept in the Finals in SoCal's only previous appearance there...

And by the way, I should let the cat out of the bag here in all honesty, and 'fess up that I made "a deal with the Devil" that I'd take a Stanley Cup here in SoCal if it meant my beloved Lakers would not 4-peat. I actually told that to a number of my friends and co-workers out here (and the Mrs.), that if I could only have one championship this postseason, I'd rather it be the Ducks simply because SoCal may not ever have another good chance at the Cup, whereas the Lakers will definitely be right back in the playoff mix each and every year, as long as Kobe and Shaq are still around...
So since my Lakers got their butts handed to them by the "always exciting" Spurs, I can only assume that it means that the Ducks will be winning it all, since that's the deal I sold my soul for. God (or the Devil) wouldn't dare make both of my teams lose now, would he...? Especially after what happened to my Raiders in the Super Bowl as well...
GO DUCKS!
