Ottawa All The Way?

Hello. Congrats to the Ottawa Senators and Anaheim Ducks for advancing to the Stanley Cup finals. Whoever wins will be a new champion, unless you inclulde Ottawa's wins before 1920.
Both teams have something to fight for. Anaheim is trying to become the first California team ever to win. Ottawa is hoping to be the first Canadian based team since the 1993 Montreal Canadiens to win the big prize.
So who is favoured? Many will say Ottawa because of who they've beaten and how quickly they did it to get here. Others will say Anaheim because of their great defense, led by Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer.
In any case, here's hoping both teams get the best effort from all their players, and give the fans what they want. And let's also hope the final gets some US media attention. It's no secret the NHL is very low on the US sports totem pole when a semi-final overtime game is interrupted because of the Preakness horse race pre-race show.
While we're on that, why would NBC schedule the game for the afternoon when they knew it could run over? Why not schedule it to follow the Preakness? Only the execs know.
Anyway, here's hoping for a good series.

Regards,
Steve
