i am not a big sports fan, except when it comes to hockey, its a fast and exciting game and since i thought there is virtually no mention of it in this section, i'd like to contribute on it:

if anyone has been watching NHL games lately, its the stanley cup season, and now the 2 final teams are meeting up, in the western conference are the anaheim ducks against the ottawa senators from the eastern conference.

The latest:

ANAHEIM, Calif. (CP) - The cartoon in the local paper Sunday spoke volumes.


The Orange County Register drawing depicted an Ottawa Senators player with an army of Canadian supporters behind him. Facing him was an Anaheim Ducks player with only one supporter, an actual Duck. The animal is quoted as saying: "Just worry about the guy in skates."


The Ducks are keenly aware they stand in the way of Canada ending its 14-year Stanley Cup drought. And they've taken stock of the fact most observers have picked the Senators to beat Anaheim in the NHL's championship series which gets underway Monday night at the Honda Center.


"A lot of the predictions, it's the Canadian-U.S. thing," Ducks GM Brian Burke said Sunday at a news conference. "A lot of the Canadian media are going to pick the Canadian team. That's fine. We've got more Canadians on our team than Ottawa has.


"We're very content to be the underdog. And it's clear to us that we are."


Having Canada back a team hasn't helped in the last two finals. The Red Mile was rocking in 2004, but Calgary still fell to Tampa Bay. Whyte Avenue was crazy last spring, but Edmonton couldn't knock off Carolina. Now Parliament Hill is hoping to party all night long.


"Hockey in Canada is unbelievable, the fans really support their teams," said Ducks veteran winger Teemu Selanne, who began his career in Winnipeg. "It's going to make this series even more special. I remember last year in Edmonton, the crowd was unbelievable.


"During the national anthem, that was something I've just never seen before."


Jason Spezza was four days short of 10 years old when the Montreal Canadiens captured Canada's last Stanley Cup on June 9, 1993. The star Senator won't deny he's thought about what it would mean to his native country.


"We're hockey historians, too," said Spezza. "Having that opportunity to bring the Cup back to Canada and become Canada's team is definitely another driving reason for us to try and win. First and foremost we want to try and win for the guys in the dressing room and for each other, but there's definitely a little more behind it playing for a Canadian team."


The Ducks feel they're well-equipped to handle the Canada factor.


"I think last year was a tremendous learning experience for us in that respect," said Ducks forward Todd Marchant.


Anaheim played both Calgary and Edmonton in last spring's playoffs, and this year had to get through Vancouver.


"Listen, hockey is quote-unquote Canada's Game," added Marchant. "That's where it was founded. There's a passion for it. That being said, I'm American, and I have a passion for it. I love it too."


Three Canadians kids are hoping to dash Canada's Cup quest. Ryan Getzlaf of Calgary, Corey Perry of Peterborough, Ont., and Dustin Penner of Winkler, Man., are coming of age in these playoffs and while they're still officially referred to as the second line for Anaheim, they were the best unit in the six-game victory over Detroit in the Western Conference final.


"I hope it's a snowballing effect now where we're going down the hill with a lot of speed," Penner, wearing a Winnipeg Jets T-shirt, said after practice Sunday. "The way we're playing, we're getting a lot of confidence and hopefully we can keep that up for this series."



There has been so much focus on what Anaheim has to do to stop Spezza's top line with Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley that somewhat lost in the shuffle is the fact Ottawa will have its hands full with the Getzlaf line. They're playing so well right now that it would surprise few if Senators head coach Bryan Murray decided to match up his top shutdown defence pair, Anton Volchenkov and Chris Phillips, against them instead of Selanne's top line.

"A lot of nights this youngster line has been our best line," said Selanne.

The matchup makes a lot of sense. Penner is six foot four and 245 pounds, Perry six-three and 202, Getzlaf six-three and 213. The Sens will need the six-three, 216-pound Phillips and six-one, 226-pound Volchenkov to slow down the big Anaheim kids. It's something the Red Wings weren't able to do.

"They clear the front of the net pretty good," Perry said of the Sens' top defence pair. "They shut down the rush pretty well. We're a cycle line and like to play down low and those two guys big bodies and like to be physical on guys. We have to make sure we move our feet and keep skating."

Jean-Sebastien Giguere remembers what it was like winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the 2003 playoffs.

He didn't bother bringing it into the dressing room after the Anaheim Ducks lost to New Jersey in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.

"From past experience, this is not the trophy you want to win," Giguere said. "You can't really celebrate it because in a way it's kind of selfish, especially when you lose."

As in 2003, the MVP trophy doesn't always go to a member of the Cup-winning team. In the Ducks' case, there doesn't appear to be a clear-cut candidate this season.

"That means we have a good team and there's a lot of guys that contribute," Giguere said. "That's the way it should be if you want to win the Cup."

The least of the Ducks' worries, though, is who wins MVP.

"Nobody cares," Giguere said. "There's one thing we want -- the Cup."

Wait a minute, Teemu Selanne says.

"As long as the Conn Smythe is going to go to somebody on our side," he said.

WORDS TO LIVE BY

Whether seldom-used Ducks forward Joe Motzko actually said it, his name was pasted to the bottom of an inspirational quote on the greaseboard in the Anaheim dressing room.

The team held an optional morning skate Wednesday in advance of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals against the Ottawa Senators. The Ducks' mantra since taking a 3-1 series lead with a win in Ottawa on Monday night was to keep full attention on the task at hand and not look at what lies ahead with one more win.

"Focus on the present moment," the board said next to the day's practice and meeting schedule, "the preparation, the game, the period, the shift, the execution, the challenge immediately in front of you."

The Ducks entered play 7-0 in potential home-clinching games, including 3-0 this season.

NO PRACTICE

The Ottawa Senators didn't practice Wednesday, keeping up a pattern they established during the first two games of the finals in Anaheim.

"They won't give us the ice until 10:30 in the morning," coach Bryan Murray said. "We asked them for ice time here. They said you can have 10:30."

Murray agreed, then asked what time the Ducks were having their optional skate. He was told 9 a.m. or 9:30, so he proposed the Senators go at 7 a.m.

"They wouldn't let us," he said. "I thought the NHL would give that allowance to us, but that wasn't the case. We would even go out with the officials this morning and play shinny, and they wouldn't let us do that."

JIGGY'S FUTURE

Jean-Sebastien Giguere becomes an unrestricted free agent when the Ducks' season ends.

The 30-year-old goalie earned $3.99 million this season. That's relatively cheap compared to Vancouver's Robert Luongo and Dallas' Marty Turco, who each made $6 million.

Winning the Stanley Cup and possibly earning a second MVP trophy could boost Giguere's price considerably when negotiations open this summer.

"I'd love to re-sign here," he said. "This is a team that's going to be good for many years. You want to be part of a team like that."

Giguere has personal reasons for wanting to stay. His son, born April 4, has a deformed right eye that needs medical attention.

"I've got my house here, I feel very comfortable around here and my son's doctors are all around here," he said. "There's many reasons why I would want to sign here. Is it going to happen? Hey, I don't have a magic ball."

SALES SOARING

The Ducks' postseason success has translated into fans snapping up more of the team's redesigned merchandise.

Fans bought an average of $15.38 worth of souvenirs during the first two games of the Stanley Cup finals, which the Ducks won at home, according to the NHL.

That's up 75.4 percent over the average per person sales during last year's finals between Carolina and Edmonton and an increase of 81.6 percent over the 2004 final between Tampa Bay and Calgary.

Carolina fans bought an average of $9.26 and Edmonton fans spent $8.28. Three years ago, Tampa Bay fans spent $8.56 per person, while Calgary fans laid out $8.38.

Last June, the Ducks dropped Mighty from their name and changed their logo and colors. Sales at the team store inside Honda Center are up 236 percent this season.

"Our fans have proven all season that hockey is alive and well in Southern California and this is another example of that," said Tim Ryan, Ducks executive vice president and chief operating officer.

Don't expect Chris Pronger to change his ways coming off his second suspension in the Stanley Cup playoffs. After all, the Anaheim Ducks' star defenseman has been hitting hard since he picked up a hockey stick at age 5.

"I'm not going to be worried about anything, bud," Pronger told reporters Tuesday after the Ducks returned home with a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Anaheim could give California its first Stanley Cup championship with a victory over the Ottawa Senators in Game 5 on Wednesday night.

The Ducks are 2-0 in games following Pronger's playoff suspensions.

"We've got a group here that's been pretty good all year long at keeping distractions out of the way of what's at stake and what our task is," he said. "This game is no different. Obviously, the implications are a lot higher."

Pronger was suspended by the NHL on Sunday for elbowing Senators forward Dean McAmmond in the head early in the third period of Anaheim's Game 3 loss. It was the second ban in these playoffs for the aggressive and physical Pronger and his seventh overall in 14 NHL seasons.

"We feel good about having him back, but again, he's one member of our hockey club," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "All we want is Chris Pronger to be Chris Pronger."

So expect more of Pronger's uninhibited play Wednesday.

"You don't have time to think out there, you've got to react," he said. "You got to do what you do best and play the game the way you know how."

Pronger is in the finals for the second consecutive year after helping Edmonton reach the championship series during his only season with the Oilers. His demand for a trade shortly after they lost to Carolina in the finals brought him to Anaheim.

"That's something you have to guard against -- letting your emotions get to you, letting there be distractions," Pronger said. "Scotty (Niedermayer) has got some great advice for you: Worry about the game and don't worry about anything else."

That means Pronger will go through his normal game-day routine Wednesday before hitting the ice. That'll be a change from Monday night, when he spent most of Game 4 with his back to the television in the visitor's dressing room in Ottawa.

"Certainly, it makes it a lot more interesting when you got to watch a game like that," he said.

If Pronger saw Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson fake a shot on net, reload and fire the puck from center ice at Ducks captain Niedermayer late in the second period Monday, he wasn't biting.

Asked if Alfredsson should have been punished by the NHL, Pronger replied, "I don't work for the league, bud."

Carlyle nimbly skated over the issue, too.

"The league sets out the rules," he said. "Whether they look at it or don't look at it, it really has no bearing on our focus and what we have to do. All this other stuff is window dress."

The usually calm Niedermayer angrily engaged Alfredsson, but the three-time Cup champion with New Jersey urged his teammates to keep their focus on winning and not retaliating in the third period.

It worked.

"I'm not the most emotional guy so it's probably a little easier for me than maybe some other guys," Niedermayer said. "I'm sure I learned it from being around other guys that had success in playoff hockey. Keeping your focus on what you're trying to do is obviously your best bet."

Pronger, for one, appreciates Niedermayer's low-key attitude.

"It's a calming influence for our team to have our captain as composed as he is out on the ice and it rubs off in a lot of good, positive ways," he said.

Maybe even a championship.

Ottawa Senators center Dean McAmmond missed his second straight game Wednesday night because of a concussion.

MCammond was still unable to play due to the concussion sustained when Anaheim's Chris Pronger elbowed him in the head four days earlier.

McAmmond wanted to play in the Senators' 3-2 home loss to the Ducks on Monday night, but was held out in a game-time decision by coach Bryan Murray. His status was again questionable on Wednesday, and he was on the ice for the pregame skate, but was then scratched from the lineup.

Pronger served a one-game suspension for the hit that occurred early in the third period of Ottawa's 5-3 victory Saturday in Game 3 -- the only game in the series won by the Senators, who tried to avoid elimination Wednesday.

McAmmond lost consciousness on the ice and was woozy when he was helped to the dressing room after the hit. He didn't return to the game.

Chris Kunitz did get back in the Anaheim lineup after the Ducks' top-line forward sat out Monday night with an abdominal injury. He had missed seven games due to a broken hand and didn't finish his first game back Saturday because of the latest ailment that was caused by an on-ice collision.

Kunitz was in the starting lineup, alongside forwards Teemu Selanne and Andy McDonald.

At one end of the ice, Chris Phillips barely missed getting his first point of the postseason when his potential tying shot deflected off a teammate before hitting the right post.

Then at the other end, the Ottawa defenseman committed the most egregious error of the Stanley Cup finals.

Phillips' pass went off the skates of Ottawa goalie Ray Emery and into his own net to give Anaheim a two-goal lead late in the second period, and the Ducks went on to beat the Senators 6-2 on Wednesday night to win the best-of-seven series in five games.

The 29-year-old Phillips, a member of the Senators since 1997, brought the puck out from behind the left side of the net, but Emery was slow getting back in the crease and Phillips' pass went in off the goalie's skates.

Emery never saw the puck, apparently thinking it was on Phillips' stick. Visibly shaken, Phillips skated back to the Ottawa bench with the Honda Center crowd roaring. Travis Moen got credit for a goal he had nothing to do with and the Ducks took a 3-1 lead.

Anaheim stretched its advantage to 5-2 early in the third period before Ottawa's Antoine Vermette missed a penalty shot. That sort of summed things up for the Senators, and assured the Ducks of their first NHL championship.

Thus, the Senators' quest for their first Stanley Cup in 80 years came to a decisive end with their most lopsided loss of the postseason. Each of their previous six setbacks during the postseason came by one goal including three to Anaheim.

Ottawa lost only one game in each of its three series against Eastern Conference opponents, but the Senators were no match for the bigger, more physical Ducks.

The Senators won 11 Stanley Cups between 1890 and 1934. They returned to the NHL as an expansion team before the 1992-93 season, and reached the finals this year for the first time since their return.

The Senators were trying to become the first team from Canada to win the Cup since 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens beat the Los Angeles Kings in the finals. The Ducks -- the first California team ever to win the Cup -- were formed as an expansion team the following season.

The Senators hoped to become just the second of 29 teams to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals, joining the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, who trailed 3-0 before beating the Detroit Red Wings. It wasn't to be.

The first bit of bad news for Ottawa came with the announcement that center Dean McAmmond was scratched following the pregame skate. McAmmond, who had five goals and three assists in 18 postseason games, didn't play after being elbowed in the head by Anaheim defenseman Chris Pronger in the third period of Game 3.

Pronger was suspended for Game 4 by the NHL, but returned to action Wednesday night.

Then, the Senators were penalized twice in the first 3 1/2 minutes, and paid the price when Andy McDonald's goal just as Ottawa's first penalty expired put the Ducks ahead for good.

The Ottawa line of Dany Heatley, (50), Jason Spezza (34) and Daniel Alfredsson (29) combined for 113 goals during the regular season and 23 in the first three playoff series. Alfredsson had four goals against the Ducks including both scores Wednesday night, but Heatley had only one and Spezza none.

The New York Islanders will buy out the remaining four years on captain Alexei Yashin's 10-year contract in the first step of an offseason overhaul they hope will include re-signing Jason Blake and Ryan Smyth.

"It's going to make the team have a different look," coach Ted Nolan said of Yashin's departure in a conference call Wednesday. "Hopefully, we can work something out with (Blake and Smyth). We're trying to assemble a cohesive group here."

Yashin finished with 119 goals and 171 assists in 346 games with the Islanders, but struggled the past two seasons as captain after Michael Peca was traded to Edmonton in 2005 following the NHL lockout. He had 18 goals and 32 assists this season, when he missed 24 games with a sprained right knee. He was scoreless in the Islanders' five-game playoff loss in the first round to the Buffalo Sabres.

"Unfortunately he got hurt and couldn't get back to where he was before. ... He couldn't get it going," Nolan said. "It'll be a nice fresh start for him and now we have to find someone to replace him."

Islanders general manager Garth Snow and Nolan wouldn't disclose the team's offseason strategy, but acknowledged that re-signing Blake, their leading scorer, and Smyth would be priorities.

"We'd love to have Ryan back," Nolan said. "We're going to do everything we can to keep him."

Smyth, who was acquired in a trade-deadline deal, and Blake can become unrestricted free agents on July 1.

Yashin came to the Islanders in a trade with Ottawa after the 2000-01 season . New York signed him to a 10-year contract worth $87.5 million, and the four years left are worth $26.45 million. The Islanders can buy Yashin out by paying two-thirds of the remaining amount ($17.63 million) over the next eight years for a salary-cap hit of about $2.2 million per season.

"The Islanders have treated me with the utmost respect," Yashin said in a statement. "I've always believed in the vision (team owner) Charles Wang has for the organization. Although I won't be a part of it, I believe that the team is headed in the right direction. I'm looking forward to this new chapter in my life."

Snow said the Islanders' decision was based on discussions among team officials and that Yashin was disappointed when he learned of the buyout Tuesday.

"From my time knowing Alexei as a teammate and as a general manager, I have learned that Alexei is nothing but a first-class individual," said Snow, who played with Yashin for four seasons before becoming the Islanders GM. "With him on the team, the Islanders made the playoffs four out of the last five seasons and I believe that we would not have been able to do that without him."

Yashin's best season with the Islanders was his first in 2001-02 when he scored 32 goals and had 43 assists in 78 games. He was acquired from the Senators one year after he sat out a full season because of a team suspension when he didn't report due to a contract dispute.

"I believe this is in the best interests of the team and player," Nolan said. "Alexei will have the opportunity to pursue a fresh start and we'll look at options to fill his position."

The Islanders traded top defenseman Zdeno Chara, a first-round pick the Senators used to draft top-line forward Jason Spezza, and Bill Muckalt, on draft day in 2001. Former New York GM Mike Milbury acquired Peca the following day from Buffalo in a two-pronged attempt to change the face of the franchise with a pair of big-name players that had fallen out of favor with their teams.

Peca had sat out the previous season with the Sabres because of a contract dispute of his own.

New York reached the playoffs four times during Yashin's tenure, but never got out of the first round. He had 11 goals and 27 points in 48 postseason games with the Islanders.

Spezza entered Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night with 22 playoff points this year, tied for the NHL lead with Ottawa teammate Dany Heatley.

The Anaheim Ducks aren't called mighty anymore. Now they can simply answer to Stanley Cup champions.

The 14-year-old Ducks captured their first NHL title with a 6-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night, ending the series in five games in front of the home folks yet again.

For the first time, the Stanley Cup resides in California and at the expense of Canada, which hasn't boasted a winner since Montreal in 1993. Calgary, Edmonton and now Ottawa -- in its first trip since the Senators were reborn in 1992 -- each had a chance the past three seasons only to be done in by a U.S. club from the sun belt.

Tampa Bay, Carolina and Anaheim aren't exactly traditional hockey hotbeds but they have been the Cup's warm weather homes since 2004. Wayne Gretzky made the game a happening in Southern California when he came to Los Angeles in 1988, the Ducks made it legit two decades later with their second trip to the finals.

Ducks captain Scott Niedermayer won it for the fourth time, and brought his brother Rob and teammates Teemu Selanne and Chris Pronger along for the ride for their first. Rob Niedermayer is one of three Ducks on the losing side of the finals in 2003 when Scott Niedermayer and the New Jersey Devils captured their third title in Game 7.

Only Anaheim goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere had something to smile about that year when he was given the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded to the MVP of the playoffs. This win was so much sweeter as he stopped 11 shots in the clincher. The biggest roar for him came when Antoine Vermette had the puck slide wide of the post during a penalty shot in the third.

Scott Niedermayer finally earned the MVP award many thought he deserved four years ago.

The 36-year-old Selanne waited 14 seasons and 1,041 regular season games to become a champion. After leading the Ducks in scoring this season, he capped off the year with a title. Pronger was on Edmonton last year when the Oilers lost in seven games to Carolina. He returned to the lineup for the clincher after serving a one-game suspension.

Sticks and gloves flew in front of Giguere when it ended. Fireworks went off and streamers fell as the Ducks rushed off the bench to celebrate.

Selanne bounced on his skates and shook the Cup after Pronger handed it to him on the opposite side of the ice from where a banner dropped signifying the Ducks' championship. With each pass of the trophy, heavy showers of confetti fell from the rafters.

"What an unbelievable feeling. I've been waiting a long time," Selanne said. "What an ending. ... There were some times when I never thought this would happen."

Asked if this was the end of his career, Selanne said, "I don't know."

Senators forward Daniel Alfredsson, the first European captain in finals history, came up short of his first championship in 11 seasons. He supplied all the Ottawa offense despite feeling the booing wrath of the fans, who chided him all night in response to his shooting the puck at Scott Niedermayer in Game 4.

Andy McDonald started the scoring 3:41 into the first period with a power-play goal, his third tally in two games, and Rob Niedermayer made it 2-0 with 2:19 left in the frame. Travis Moen had two goals, one that never touched his stick and another in conventional fashion.

Alfredsson scored twice in the second period, including a short-handed goal that cut Anaheim's lead to one for a second time, but the Senators couldn't shake off a fluke goal that Ottawa defenseman Chris Phillips put into his own net with a pass off the skates of goalie Ray Emery.

That one was credited to Moen.

When Francois Beauchemin scored a power-play goal with 1:32 left in the second, the Ducks' two-goal lead was back and the excited crowd anticipated an appearance by the Stanley Cup that sat in a crate offstage.

By then it was just a matter of time for the Ducks, 8-0 at home in series-clinching games -- including 4-0 this year when they dropped the mighty from their name but not from their game. In the building formerly known as the Pond, Anaheim is 6-0 during the finals.

In the middle of the third period, the buzzing and quacking crowd serenaded Emery, called for the now-polished Cup, and bellowed with delight after each whistle.

The Ducks played five games above the minimum in the postseason and went past five games only in the Western Conference finals when they won three straight to erase a 2-1 series deficit and wipe out the Detroit Red Wings.

Ottawa also had a quick run to the finals, needing only five games in each series to eliminate Pittsburgh, New Jersey and top-seeded Buffalo. But the Ducks proved too tough with their hard-hitters and tight checkers shutting down the Senators' top forward line that was broken up by coach Bryan Murray after the unit led the NHL in playoff scoring.

Anaheim is the first West Coast city to lay claim to the silver chalice since the Victoria Cougars of the Western Canada Hockey League defeated Montreal in 1925, two years before NHL clubs began exclusively playing for the Cup.

McDonald scored just after the first half of a 5-on-3 penalty expired, and Rob Niedermayer doubled the lead with a streak down the right side. He blew past Mike Comrie and backhanded a shot in off Emery, who went down on all fours as the puck sat behind him with 2:19 left in the period.

Alfredsson made it 2-1 at 11:27 of the second, but Phillips' big mistake put the life back in the building. While being chased behind the net by Moen, Phillips pushed a pass as he came out the left side. The puck went into Emery's skates and found its way in with 4:16 left in the period.

It was shades of Edmonton defenseman Steve Smith, who short-circuited the Oilers' chances for a "three-peat" in 1986 when he put the puck in off the left skate of goalie Grant Fuhr in the third period of Game 7 of the Smythe Division Finals against Calgary.

But Alfredsson renewed Ottawa's hope with a short-handed goal with 2:22 left. The good feeling was soon dashed when Beauchemin ripped a long slap shot past Emery 50 seconds later during the same power play.

Moen made it 5-2 with his second of the game and Corey Perry gave the Ducks a four-goal lead with 3 minutes remaining.

Emery never looked comfortable in net, showing some of the nerves he displayed in the series-opening loss. He allowed all six goals on 18 shots.

Notes

The Niedermayers are the first brothers since Brent and Duane Sutter of the Islanders in 1983 to win the Cup as teammates. ... Scott Niedermayer was the only Anaheim player to have won the Cup previously. ... Ottawa C Dean McAmmond missed his second straight game because of a concussion caused by Pronger's elbow to the head that led to his suspension in Game 4. ... Anaheim top-line forward Chris Kunitz returned to the lineup after a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury.
