Congratulations to the Anaheim Ducks on winning the most coveted trophy in professional sports. I was cheering for Ottawa but they got a proper whalloping from the Ducks. Giguere was great, Emery was not. The Anaheim stars played like stars and the Ottawa stars fizzled. I was really hoping The Cup would return to its ancestral home in Canada but as least it's close by here in SoCal, plus there are 19 Canadian players on the Ducks roster. The biggest congratulations for me go to Brian Burke. He's a magician of a GM. Too bad Vancouver let him go.

With the Stanley Cup awarded and hockey over until October, I will retire my Stanley Cup avatar and replace it with my traditional Hello Kitty! avatar.
