W00t!! The Ducks won the Western Conference yesterday (not that I got to see the game) so they're going to the Dance.We did get to see Game 5, which was a great game. We had it on Tivo, and we fast-forwarded thru the back & forth (most of the game). The Red Wings got a goal in the first period, and kept the Ducks scoreless for the rest of the game until the final 47 seconds before the end of regulation time. At that point the game was tied, and they went into overtime.
Teemu Selanne is my favorite Duck, but that's mostly because he was buddies with my favorite hockey player, Paul Kariya. Paul is playing for Nashville now, but those two were a great team when they played together. In any case, Teemu got the sweetest goal in OT to win it for the Ducks.
That's the only game I've seen the entire season. I live in Oregon, and unless I want to upgrade my Dish subscription so it includes hockey (and a bunch of stuff I don't want to pay for), I don't get to watch hockey until it's down to the end of the season - then we get a couple of conference finals and hopefully some of the Stanley Cup games. I'll have to check the Tivo guide to see if I can set it up to record.
Oh well - Go Ducks!!!

We haven't gotten to see a lot of hockey games at the arena formerly known as "The Pond", but Bethany and I were at a game and saw Teemu score a hat trick. That's not something you see everyday!
That goal to tie it with literally seconds left in the game was just amazing.
Does anyone in Oregon know that you are fans of the "other" Ducks?
Hockey isnt well known up here. Although there are some minor league teams slowly comming into the towns here. Eugene has one and there is another comming to Medford.
When we do Secret Santa, I'll usually leave a clue that says something along the lines of "My Ducks don't play football." They never know what I'm talking about. I could even wear my jersey and they wouldn't know.
Diana is aiming to be an Oregon Duck tho.
I haven't watched the Ducks all season, which is a first. My brother used to have season tickets. Guess I'm going to have to watch a few games now, starting tomorrow night. Go Ducks!
