Not looking good for the Sens after losing the first 2 in Anaheim. After winning the first two Stanley Cup Final games at home, only one team has lost the cup. The good news: That team was Anaheim, losing a few years back to New Jersey.

Anaheim have no right being good at hockey...

Also, it seems to be a game against the goaltenders again, much like the finals between Calgary and Tampa a few years back with Kipursof and Khabibulin (sp on both?)

It's defense in general on this one. The question is whether the Heatley-Spezza-Alfredsson line can get going with the scoring. If the Senators can score they will do well, as Anaheim really do not have the pure scoring power that Ottawa does.

I give Anaheim a slight advantage on both defense and goal, though both teams are very evenly matched defensively, you can't beat the amount of experience they have with Niedermayer and Pronger. With goalies, I give the edge to Giguere only because he's been here before and has more experience than Emery, although Emery has really impressed me.

And Roo, you got Khabibulin right, and you're just missing an F and you've got the U and R backwards on Kiprusoff.

Not to mention the fact that Ottawa's first line seems to get dominated by the Duck's fourth line...I mean the Alfredsson, Heatly, and Spezza line being dominated by a the Pahlsson line?

The Sens seriously need to pull their heads out...I mean, the last few minutes of game 2 were the best hockey I've seen them them play in 6 periods...

I always wondered what kind of team the Blackhawks would have had had the stars of the team had been paid their worth. A blackhawk team consisting of Chellios,Roenik, Amonte,Daze, Belfour and a few others im forgetting, ...at a single season, would have been pretty much stellar.

Ah well..one can dream.

Fire Wirtz. Period.

The Pahlsson line are actually one of the best checking lines I've seen in a long time. I found this out the painful way when they completely shut the Sedins down in the series against the 'Nucks. However, the Spezza line definitely has the stuff to bust through, they got to start checking and show the Pahlsson line who's boss.
