Monesy aside, this is the greatest hockey moment in my life. And I'm not even a player. This is more exciting than any hockey league or tournament I've been in. More exciting than my first ever game at the forum (there were no Ducks back then). More exciting opening night. (We got rocked by Detroit)<BR/><BR/>I was huge on Pahlson winning the <BR/>Smythe but I cannot argue with Niedermayer. His leadership and steadiness on the ice has been huge all post season especially in the games Pronger was gone. He has 2 Ot winners and the Duck's biggest goal of the postseason. He's won the cup 3 times with no Smythe, being in Stevens's shadow. Signing with the Ducks after the lockout to play with his brother made the Duck's a legit contender. So I respect the decision to give him the award based on everything he's done for the team.<BR/><BR/>Seeing Selanne hoist the cup was great, he's always been my favorite Duck, from the moment we got him for Tverdovsky?? and Kilger?????. Kariya left the Ducks to go win a cup in Colorado, dragging an injured Selanne along, but after the lockout, it was Selanne who returned for 1 million to play and these last 2 seasons have shown that he is one of the best goal scorers I have ever gotten to see play the game.<BR/><BR/>Another great moment was seeing Pahlson, Niedermayer and Moen holding the cup together. Hope everyone is at the rally on Saturday. <BR/><BR/>Thanks to Sleek for this site. It is entertaining and informative. Great place for hockey players from everywhere to hang out.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896285658845291441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-27205553094555372262007-06-07T09:50:00.000-07:002007-06-07T09:50:00.000-07:00Congrats Sleek and all Anaheim Ducks fans - I enjo...Congrats Sleek and all Anaheim Ducks fans - I enjoyed following your playoff run and was thrilled to be at the game last night.
